Dog Sitting and an Inspection

What a lovely weekend we have had.  After a tiring few days away on the school residential trip I came home on Friday to our furry visitor, Pixie.  She was coming to stay for the weekend as Julie had her son's wedding on the Saturday.  Sarah was very pleased as she loves Pixie, taking her for walks and generally just fussing over her.  Pixie arrived on Friday evening with her bowls, her food and her crate ( hmm she had other ideas on this one).  She is such a pretty little dog and has a lovely nature as well.

Well we all settled down for the evening forgetting that Daniel was out at Cadets.  Now that was interesting when he came home as Pixie was very very wary of him and even uttered a little grumbling growl as she backed off.

Well all was well the next morning as Daniel was no longer in his uniform but just lolled around in his dressing gown.  Off he went to Cadets again whilst Sarah and I decided to take Pix out for a lovely walk in St Leonards Forest.  We hadn't been there before so I was a little wary of getting a little lost but we were fine and found our way around the place.  Beautiful countryside as well as a little wild in places.

 

  

We all had a great walk even when it started to rain a little but that didn't matter.

Pixie came home settled down with whoever was sitting down and chilled for the rest of the day until Sarah and I took her for another walk later that evening.  She came back and flopped.  Although she had stayed in her crate on the Friday night, she had whined a fair bit so Sarah took pity on her and let her sleep on her bedroom floor for the night.  She slept soundly until I go up this morning at 5.30 - well the maths planning was calling.

Today was Daniel's annual inspection so he set off for Squadron at 8.30 this morning with a packed lunch and his taxi awaiting.  We didn't have to be there until 1 this afternoon.  Another day where we were grateful that the weather wasn't too bad as it was all outside.  Daniel was carrying the banner and doing the bugling when the flag was brought down this evening.  He did so with dignity and respect and it was great to see.

   

Very proud of him and he even made friends with Pixie before he went.
