Day 23, 24 & 25

So, finally it's Friday & even better, only half a day at work!!  Yippee!! Squeezed all the jobs in that I needed to & then headed for home & a bit of time with the hounds.  First job at home was to make a tuna cake for my boy, Badger as it was his 5th gotcha day, so he got plenty of treats & extra cuddles. A walk for the 3 hounds before a quick shower & a trip to Nuneaton as my mate was performing as Pink at La Tavola Calda, the venue was a bit quieter than usual, bur the show was as fantastic as usual.

Saturday began with a VERY early start (6.30 am) due to a training session at Birmingham Dogs Home on Health & Safety and Dog Behaviour.  The morning session was a bit boring, who likes Health & Safety?  Some good discussions went on though.  Lunch, a fab buffet and then the second session started.  Some great tips picked up from the specialist trainer followed by a bit of fun with some practical clicker training with Sprout & Tilly, two of the Greyhounds that joined us for the day. We also managed to have a look around the kennels at the dogs looking for new homes.  BDH have a fantastic new building as their base, very clean, friendly staff and great facilities.

A quick stop off back home to get ready for my mate to pick me up for a trip up to Manchester where she was performing as Cher, a quiet night in the casino, but the show was ace.  Very tired following a very long day.  Finally hit the sack at about 2.30 am after sorting out the hounds on my return.

A lovely lie in on Sunday morning, til 10.30 am, amazed I managed to sleep in that long.  Breakfast for the hounds then a brief trip to the shops & then dropped off some raffle donations before heading home to walk the hounds in the sunshine.  A lazy afternoon broken up by sorting out the bins for collection tomorrow morning.  Dinner eaten and now a lazy evening in front of the TV.
