29.1.14 half's

Boy it was cold today... Started off the weather not sure what to do... So it decided to rain !
Up waseley hill this morning with Oscar slips Charlie and beau... Oscar and Charlie roaring through the mud rolling down the hills.. Saw a bloke with 5 springers then two woman came onto hill with two more, so 7 springers ! Wonder what that is..... Is it the same as magpies ???
Paws dried and dropped home Oscar and I went off to Rubery, rain coming down more now but still warm, we went up the bridal path... Found a flexi lead ... nice ☺.. Milo getting old and is slowing down, noticeable more in the cold.
Off to cannon hill next with fudge Bo and olive, Oscar too... The pitches where so boggy so we walked up to the stream, it was like white water, not many people about today which is normal when weather is bad, the goal posts had about 20 gulls sitting on them, funny seeing gulls so in land, they follow the rivers and canals then stay put.
Listened to my book quite a lot today, getting interesting...
Afternoon had three half hour walks first was with new recruit Minnie, I took her over to Romsley with Oscar to meet Bessie, now dogs have a pecking order and that changes depending whose on the walk, Bess is a 4 year old boarder collie, I've been walking her 3 years now. . Bess is the top female dog, self proclaimed, she likes to try and put dogs in their place so meeting Minnie as she's just a pup will do her good..
We got to the park and Bess had her heckles up, I had Minnie on a flexi lead to let her run, bit of a growl run and push together and they where trying each out ! After a few runs Bess got a bit to rough and Minnie thought it was more play so I sat them down , ears down eyes looking up they got told off... Like telling kids off !
Off you go then... They ran off, bumping and chasing growling again ! Kids !
Over to see hermies, poor injured soldier he sprained his ankle so on light walks, AW bless him he looked so miserable...😕
C&B then over to a freezing cofton as the rain was coming down horizontal now, ended with Monty Milo and I was wet though and froze... Dropped a tired damp Oscar home... then a damp cold me went home !
