Yesturday was moi first Whoite Lodge Walk as a Beastly Beast, and dad's first with sevun of us, and Rosie's first, and the first at Outwoods.

We got there noice and early so we could sort ourselves out, but soon enough loads of other hounds arroived with their huumans. The others - Kai, Monty, Jack, Troy and Lucy - knew quoite a few of the hounds, but their were sum that nun of us knew - so it was grayt to make sum new friends; Troy, as alwayz, went and leened on humans.


Herd of Hounds

As you probably know, Rosie can sumtoimes be a bit rude when she meets new people, but yesturday she was dead polite and stuck to sniffing bottums - the proper to way to introduce yourself.

Jack had told me that sumtoimes on these walks they like to swap humans and Oi got to have a go with a chap called Jasper's. They seemed to be in charge of where we were going - dad didn't have a clue, and noither did some of the others.


Me and Jasper

Japser's a noice bloke and we look quoite similar actually. Oi enjoyed walking and sniffing with him and would loike to thank him for sharing his humans with me.


Me and Jasper with his humans

Outwoods is a grayt place for hounds - it's a bit loike our favourite - Salcey Forest- and we all want to go there again sometoime.

Oi didn't see that much of the rest of The Beasts whoile we were out walking; they spent some toime with different people they knew; Greg who came and helped on a fund raiser earlier this year, Sol - Kai's ginga mate, and Mortimer and his mates. Rosie fancied Mortimer; the others told me she made sure she walked next to im and when we got back to the car park she stood roight besoide im when she could. She's a bit of a lass is that one - only a couple of weeks ago she was flirting with Waljan!!


The handsome Mortimer

We had some snacks in the car park and a bit of a chin and tail wag. Some people said they though the BeastBus looked grayt - thank you. And dad sold some of our new stickers and badges so we made some money for hounds that need help - thanks to everyone that got some.


We think you're grayt - yov've got treats

Then we were off again. This toime there wasn't so many of us; Oi was still with Jasper and we were joined by Sky and Ozzy (Oi think Sky used to be at the same place as me - Perry Bar). So we got two walks for the proice of one!! Moight have something to do with why we all went straight to sleep after tea.


Troy and Sky with Jasper's mum

When we got back Mortimer and his human Sarah were still there along with a few others. Rosie made straight for Mortimer - she's not backward in coming forward that one. Sarah and Alison said she was very pretty - which Oi s'ppose she is if you loike big girls. Sarah said she knew someone that wanted to meet Rosie at an agility thing - lots of running round and over things apparently, and dad said we would try and go. Kai reckons it moight be a laugh - he loikes jumpng and stuff, Monty and me think it sounds all a bit too energetic, Jack and Lucy reckon they'll go along to watch, and Troy'll be happy if there's humans to lean on. Not sure about Rosie, spect she'll be happy if Mortimer's there.

So we had a really noice day; the weather was grayt (we were going to wear our jumpers but it was too hot), Oi enjoyed moiyself with Jasper, Rosie fancied Mortimer and we met old and new friends that we can see again next toime - looking forward to it.
