The Beastly Beasts

Dad's was away last week on business, so we spent the time at the White Lodge Hotel. Today mum and dad came to pick us up to home, then later dad took us over to our favourite place for a walk - Salcey Forest.

As you will know if you read our coming events on our home page, we are doing a Meet and Greet there on the 6th and 7th of May - the Sunday and Monday of the first Bank Holiday, so dad had a chat with the cafe owners, Catherine and Mick, to sort out were we could do it. They have only just taken on the cafe, but were well happy to help out and think us hounds need all the help we can get once out of the racing industry - which we do, and said we could set up on the lawn near the cafe which everyone passes as they arrive - which is brilliant - so we like Catherine and Mick. Then we set off on our walk.

It was great to be back at Salcey, and 'coz it was a fab day dad took on a really long walk. Troy and Maple were well up for it.

Kai was well happy playing with sticks.

But it was pretty warm in the forest, and after having some chasing games it was time for a breather -

and a drink -

then back to the action.

As I said earlier, it was really nice day, and you tell that spring is really here 'coz things are getting green and the flowers are coming out.

Two hours after we set out we got back to the BeastBus, then home. One of the things about hotel life is you never do quite as much as when you're at home - well, why should you? it's s'posed to be relaxing. Thing is though, those two hours tired us all out, and after a nice tea we are all ready for our beds now.

Speak soon,
