A misty walk in the meadows

Had some glorious walks to day in the meadow but oh my doggie days was it misty. The mist covered the meadow like a fluffy duvet cover. Luckily I was wearing my tartan fleece so I could be spotted jumping through the dew drenched grass. Be safe, be seen is my motto!

Thought about how different it was  back in the spring when I first met the baby goslings and baby cygnets venturing out on the river for the first time. Their parents swam majestically in front of them, showing off their offspring to the visiting world.

Now the geese were friendly enough but the swans .. well that is a different matter. I appreciate that they are the Queen's birds but talk about attitude! One larger then life swan looked at me in a menacing way as only a ten foot swan can ... did I mention I was prone to exaggerating? Was I scared? Well I ran behind mum and dad but that was just to protect them you understand. You do understand don't you?

Woke up very early this morning, thinking about Elvis the hedgehog who had been scurrying around in the garden all night. This is the very same hedgehog that I am NOT allowed to annoy .. sorry play with when doing my last minute checks of the perimeter before settling down for the night. I zoomed out bright and breezy and  .. nothing. Elvis sure knows how to cover his tracks.

I asked my big furbro Sid if he knew anything. Big Sid did his usual roll of the eyes and massive yawn, showing his canines .. or should that be feline teeth? No luck there then. Wanted to ask Jazz but she was still sleeping and nothing, I repeat nothing wakes her.

Oh well thought I, there are more exciting things to think about today .. like walkies and noms. Plus have been invited to a pirate pawty tonight thrown by Olly Ted. My outfit is ready and I am just waiting for @JackMcWestie to call. Time now to practise me ol' pirate lingo.
