Well, it appears it was a special day, and I was invited along, cause, I’m a Good Boy, or so I’m often told.
It was going to be a nice early tea, so I was getting a walk too. Must have been a really special day as they both got dressed up nice for the occasion.
I was getting taken to Glamis Castle for my walk, but not through the main gates this time. My humans went that way before and got a telling off for not buying a ticket, but that might be a story for another day. So, off we went down the other path to the grounds, along past the river.
Really a nice walk, they had the ball, all good, so a nice run, play lollup about. All in all a class walk. Until we got to coming back……
Well, by this time I needed a drink. So, I thought the burn looked quite appealing. So, I thought a wee drink wouldn’t do any harm….so, I slithered in, I was quite surprised they shouted my name quite so loud!!
The water was a little deeper than imagined, but I was good with that, what were they getting all excited about!
Then I looked up.
The bank was must higher from the bottom than it looked from the top. That’s when the trouble started. I couldn’t get out, that meant dad had to clamber down. Jacket? Dirty. Trousers? Dirty. Then to haul me out and pass me to mum. Now he was wet and dirty.
Then, how did he get out? I couldn’t get a good view as I was tied to a tree by this time, but mum had to get down on her knees and haul him out, that will be her all dirty too.
I don’t hear much Good Boy for a while after. The seemed more concerned about getting to the restaurant all covered in mud!
The moral of this tail is………..Be careful what you get yourself into, it might look appealing, refreshing, inviting, it might well be more trouble than it’s worth.
