Dog News - Sept 2008
(If you can hide please let
us know and details of training dates can be found through
the link at the top of this page.)
The police
GALA DAY was great fun for the dogs and it was nice to meet
so many children and introduce them to the team. The lake
proved very popular with all the dogs at the event and
between shows they were able to cool off and play in the
water. Judging by how Frankie smelt there were quite a few
owners having to wash off the pond water at the end of the
day!
No training
this week due to the Gala Day and work but we all enjoyed
the sunshine over the Bank Holiday and judging by her choice
of bed Frankie was as tired as the children after a day at
the seaside.
And finally - our new Search
Dog Boat
We have been out in our new
Search Boat Daisy this week (called Daisy - due to the canary yellow seats)
when we collected the outboard motor. I went out for a
short trip near Wroxham to test out the new outboard and
predict I am going to make all the mistakes of a typical
"newbie" boat owner. My power boat course is booked for
the 19th Sept and so far I have learnt from my mistakes!
Lesson 1 - while sat at the
back of the boat, don't let the dog out of the boat
first if she is providing the counter balance at the
front! Otherwise your bum gets very wet.
Signs for the boat and names
are on order and we are waiting to hear from the Broads
Authority as we have asked they waiver their usual fees.
As always a special thanks must go
to all the land owners who kindly allow us to use their land
especially Taverham
Hall School, Top Farm Caravan Park Marsham, Strumpshaw Hall and EH Haylage of Shotesham ( www.ehhaylage.co.uk).
