Carnival!

Hello! This time of year there are always carnivals around Somerset, where we live. Starting in Bridgewater, then moving around to others including Shepton Mallet, Glastonbury and of course, where we are in Wells. The carnivals have a website if you is interested... http://www.somersetcarnivals.co.uk/  

So on Friday morning before the carnival me and Humum went for a walk as normal.. when we spotted a road was closed... 

Closed road!

 When we got closer, Humum started snapping away with the camera. There are clubs who make these floats. Some are simply pulled by tractors, others are more inventive.

First float parked.

As you can see the floats are covered in light bulbs! The carnival is in the dark but Humum likes to see them in the daylight as the clubs that build the floats put a lot of work into their design!

Someone will be stood here dancing :D

This one uses lots of energy saving bulbs.

My blog, so a picture of me...

Some floats are just pulled along by tractors.

e

That tractor is brand new!

The eagle eyed among you will spot Humum's arm and my lead.

Not a real pigeon.

Cycle path

 The floats are parked along the road, but the pavement veers away from it and into this lovely track, which we have taken lots of pictures in before.

Zoooooom!

Looking back the way we came..

Looking towards Shepton

 There are a LOT of floats! Humum went along to it in the dark but it was a bit rainy and she missed me so they came back after a while.

I hope my blog does not be too boring for you!

Halloween!

Mini Man decided to dress up as Buzz Lightyear this year...

Buzz meet Buzz :D

Mini man was shouting "Cheese" in that one. I would have preferred chicken.

The four hour walk!

Hello again! On Wednesday this week me and my Cocker Spaniel pal Benji went for a big walk, four hours in total! Here are a few pictures of our journey!

We started out on this path. In years gone by we think it was a railway, but now it is fairly popular with dog walkers, cyclists, joggers etc. It is a very nice route from Wells (where we live) to Dulcote which is a village. We walked beyond Dulcote to Dinder, which I like as it sounds like dinner!

Me and Benji on the track

 We get told off if we climb the bank on the right, as that's where the road is, but on the left it just leads to woodland. Due to the amount of trees, this is a nice shady walk in summer. It gets a bit muddy in places now but it's still really pretty!

Benji waiting for his tennis ball.

This is Benji. He's about 14 months old.. (I think). He is completely obsessed with his ball!

Buzz the mountain goat

 Benji stayed on the path.. but not me! I like to explore and use my four feet drive!


These next pictures were taken in Dinder, as Humum didn't take any more pictures on the way, but I can tell you at one point we were walking through a field of cows, and half way through noticed there was a rather large bull in with them! Most of the time there are warning signs up where bulls are but not here!


Anyway, onwards :D

You want to sit here??

Two hours in, we stopped to have a rest. Well.. they did. I sat down for about ten seconds..

Ner ner ner ner!

Benji wouldn't play.. so I stole his owner.. But all he could think about was the ball.

Benji does love the ball.

ARGH! 

Not sure what happened there but mini man appears to be about to strangle me!!!

Buzz attaaaaack!

Benji hypnotised by his tennis ball. Here I come to disrupt things again!!

PLAY WITH ME!

 I don't actually like tennis balls. I just didn't want to sit down and be boring!

Look, I'm really cute...

Come on, Benji, play!

 Mini man is a bit further away than us. Good job really he's not great for these games!

Give me the ball!

I am slightly bigger than Benji... he has big feet though!

Formulating a plan..

Well if I can't get the ball then...

Teehee...

I GOT THE BALL THROWER!

Now you can't have it thrown very far, Benji! Mwahahahahah!

Nice view

Not quite sure where we are looking at in this picture!

Another view

In that picture you can see Glastonbury Tor.

Well I was completely worn out after this walk and spend most of the next two days sound asleep!

Thank you for reading my blog, we had great fun doing it!

Buzz.

Perranporth Holibobs!

Hello Everyone! 

If you recall, my first ever blog was about a holiday to Millendreath in Cornwall. I mentioned that the two legged people had been to Perranporth the year before.. but I hadn't as I didn't exist BOL!! Most of these pictures are of dunes, as Humum has a brain a bit like mushy peas in a sieve and kept forgetting the camera! 

Perranporth beach looking to the right.

Dogs are allowed on the beach but apparently there are some restrictions in place? We just avoided the main part, and then we had plenty of space to play!

The beach again, looking straight this time :D

Mini Man.. not as close to the egde as it appears, honest!

 Humum didn't take any pictures of me in the sea this time.. there's a good reason for that! The waves were so much bigger here that she daren't take the camera out in case a wave got her. If you look in the picture below.. Mini Man's clothes aren't two tone... He managed to get soaking wet from the shoulders down! I rescued my tennis ball a few times but I don't think I can tackle these waves without a surfboard...

Finding something to dig. Humum's naughty shadow!

Dig dig dig dig dig dig dig dig... What?

Random fact for you... I only dig in sand :D According to some, this is because I am lazy and dig easy ground! Me!? Two working spaniels combined... LAZY!?

Digging for my tennis ball... Oh.. wait.

The site they camped on in Perranporth is called Perran Sands. It's a Haven site. Originally, we were going in a tent, but when we put it up we realised it was no good for us, and that I was a little bit too loopy to cope in a tent. So we took a caravan down :D Humum forgot to take a picture of the caravan. The next photo has the campsite in the background. 

Haven campsite.. You can see the Super Tents, we were next to them!

To infinity, and beyond!

On my way back to say hello.. Zoomed in below.

Hi Humum!

Zoomed in below

Zoom!

 The cross you can see in the back ground was our normal morning walk :) This picture was taken quite close to the campsite, and the picture of the campsite was taken from the top of the cross!

Right next to the cross. 

Wish you were here??

Exploring a bit more

So much to sniff!

Buzzy go zoom, Buzzy go zoom...

1 2 7 3 Mini Man is chasing me!!!!

Probably best not to ask about the caption on that one. We would have zoomed in but I look like a white triangle with brown bits.

I'm not tired.. 

.......

Honestly.. I'm not tired

  ......

...Ok I am a little tired.

Chilling out in the caravan.

Think that's all we have to say this time.. as it's quite late now :D

Thanks for reading my blog I hope you liked it :D

Treat Review - Wagg Puppy Treats

Dog Food

Who better to review treats than a dog! For this review the lovely people at Wagg have sent me some Treats to try! Here they are...

Oopsy, opened before we took the picture..

Now I can do many many things well.. but reading isn't one of them... What I do know is what I was told...

• They contain added yoghurt for healthy teeth and bones
• They are enriched with vitamins and minerals
• They contain NO artificial colours or flavours
• They also have no added sugar.

They are also oven baked, for a great taste. These particular ones are for puppies, from 8 weeks old. 

*sniff sniff* 

I got all unnecessary around the packet, sure it contained some yummy treats!

New Poster Boy for Wagg...?

Ok I'm showing off  bit now...

One big stick becomes six small ones...?!

Humum says the treats come in sticks.. and are scored so easy to break into smaller chunks. They are soft treats, and you can break them up smaller again if need be.. Although why you would want to make a treat smaller I don't know!?

Hypnotized

Humum.. give me the treats already. They smell amazing, they look nice and they have a nice texture...

NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM!!!

WOOAH!! These are lovely treats! I think these are good enough for me to perform my newest trick for you!

Tell me to take it already, please!!!

Well those were the Wagg Puppy Treats(Click). They are brilliant and there were 6 big sticks in the packet! I would rate these a 9.5 out of 10 :) 

You should definitely check out their website -  http://waggfoods.co.uk/

... Can I eat the treat now please?
