A short story left over from the last post

I was going to add this story at the end of the last post but got cut short by the library computers time allowance.

When we were praising Quba for his ability to fetch Alison told us a story about another dog. This dog's owner was taken ill in the bath and sent his dog to get help. As taught the dog went to the neighbour's house and attracted their attention and they called an ambulance. The dog, realising that something was still wrong from all the commotion going on around him, and unnoticed by the adults who were now in charge  proceeded to work his way through a list of other commonly used commands and by the time the ambulance arrived had rounded up the mobile phone, the TV remote and a four pack of lager and laid them out neatly by the bath.

Quiet summer

It's been a quiet summer thanks to our "friends" at TVP but nevertheless we've been out a few times to organised events, but no roughing it on the streets. 

Morris dancing at Holy Trinity, Headington.





Firstly was Holy Trinity fete. After missing for a couple of years due to calendar clashes we were back this year and pleased to be there. The day started dull and damp but a window in the clouds from just after one till about five gave us a dry afternoon.  All the usual stalls for a church fete with the Morris dancers giving a good performance.





At the end of the afternoon we got an invitation to a street party the following weekend just a few yards up the road. Another fine afternoon in spite of the forecast.

Finally another good day at Banbury, down on Castle Quay along with the roundabout and bouncy castle. We were collecting for the mayor's charity "Dogs for the disabled"

Quba

 Takings were noticeably up all the time we had one of their helpers.

In the morning it was Quba who made himself extremely useful fetching back any leaflets that blew away in the wind, something many of the dogs do for their owners. 

... Got to go, out of time at the library. another picture and a story to add some other time.
