Fish4Dogs - I am a working dog...

Hello :D Here I am again and as my last blog was about holiday I think it's only fair I have  to work now. I am a cross of two working spaniels after all! Now there was some debate over whether Humum would get in trouble for putting a 7 month old to work so now she is wearing a disguise everywhere she goes so as not to be recognized...
Please note, items in pictures are even sillier than they appear..
The things I have to live with...

Most sensible person here, honest.
Anyway lets get down to business. On Tuesday, we had a surprise delivery! For some reason I wasn't allowed to open it myself, but ooh it smells very very nice :D


Sniff sniff.. let me in!
Inside of the big bag were two, yes TWO, bags of food for me to try! You see the lovely people at Fish4Dogs (check out their website here - http://fish4dogs.com/) have sent me some food to try, as they know how important the opinions of us doggies are :D


B for Buzz... E for Eat..?
 Well.. firstly they are different colours to each other.. to give a fair trial I was given a handful of each to see which I would prefer (I will be doing the same work again tomorrow but Humum says she will put them out in a different way for me

A little from column B...
 So I get on the tasting.. and I start with the B bag,...

B scattered on floor, making a mess of pile E...

But quickly move onto the E bag...Within a few moments all gone. I then took on the washing up and cleaned up Humum's hand. But now, I am a little tired from all this work and I am going to take a nap. I will be doing this taste testing again tomorrow, and a pup needs his sleep!


A dogs work is never done!

My first blog!

Eeek! I haven't done this before, but I think this is the best way to tell you all about my holiday to Cornwall. It took us about three hours to get there, including a stop for food in Exeter :)

When we arrived, there was six flights of stairs to get up to the villa. Humum said this was a lot, so I helpfully pulled her up them.. Then she took a picture of the sea from the top..


The next morning I decided I should introduce myself to one of the local birds, as a young single chap does on his holidays. 


But enough of this introducing malarky, I had heard a lot about the sea. Last year Humum said they went to Perranporth, and Mini Man didn't like the waves. Here though, they were smaller (still looked pretty big to me though..) Here I am having my first seaside experience!


I didn't see this, I was busy exploring, but this is a giant woodlouse type thing that Humum's boyfriend was very interested by. She's not much of a bug fan so she stayed well back and zoomed in with the camera instead!


Here I am again, exploring the rock pools that were left behind when the tide went out a little. Humum says this is her favourite picture of me. If you're wondering, I am a bit soggy. I fell in a few of the pools. Some of them I had to swim in!


This is a view of the beach nearest us. The tide was in at this point. The picture before this one was taken in the same place as those two little looking rocks.. I think the town you can see beyond is Looe :)


It was soon discovered that I quite enjoyed swimming. However, those naughty people kept on throwing sticks and tennis balls into the sea! Here I am saving a stick from drowning. 


We decided to visit Looe and go on a glass bottomed boat on a trip around Looe Island. There was another dog on the boat but we didn't say hello. I got a bit cold on the boat, as did Mini Man so we couldn't take any pictures on the journey as Humum and her boyfriend were too busy cuddling us!


This is the front of the same boat :)


Now for the last picture I must warn you, there is shocking information. I suggest you sit or lie down. 
This is a picture of a crab, that was caught in Looe. Mini Man named him Fred (as he does with most things!) Now... the shocking part of this is... to entice Fred into the bucket.. some bacon was put into a bag and thrown into the sea! I tried to follow it in, but I wasn't allowed! Instead I was allowed to try a tiny piece. Blummin' cheeky crabs if you ask me...


Ok so this was my first blog. I'm sorry it's not very good!! Now if you'll excuse me, I am going to curl up and have a snooze on Humum's lap.
It's a dog's life.
