Big Weekend!

On Saturday I set out to one of my social meet ups. I've been so busy with dog shows this summer that I haven't been to one in a while. Doggie walking groups are really good for socialising. I used to be a little bit scared of bigger dogs but l learnt how to socialise through our meet ups. Once we start walking, we all seem to form a "pack" and get along very well. 

There were about seven or eight of us, and we met and walked around Hampstead Heath. There had been plenty of excitement before I joined in, one of my friends had jumped into the pond and had to be rescued covered in green gloop! He was also stung by a wasp :( We brought biscuits to share with everyone and that got everyone smiling :) Mummy always says that snacks are for sharing.  

After the walk we headed down to the Garden Gate pub, next to Hampstead Heath station. I had never been there before, in Hampstead I go to the Spaniards Inn where one of my dog shows "Pup Idol" was held. I much prefer cafes to pubs but The Spaniards Inn has a lovely outdoor area which is ideal for alfresco lunches. It's also very doggie friendly and even has a dog wash service! The Garden Gate was lovely, too.  A large outdoor area which was very busy and I could smell the barbecue! I wasn't tempted as I knew that Mummy had packed my lunch. Some other mummys ordered their lunches and they came back with a pretty flower which was their order number. How clever! 

But as the mummys were chit chatting, you'll never guess what happened! One of my friends tucked their nose into my handbag and STOLE MY LUNCH!! Oh, the horror!! I barked to get Mummy's attention but she thought I was playing with my friends! She finally noticed when she saw the empty bag on the floor next to my very guilty looking friend. She told me I could have an extra special lunch when I got home. Such drama! Next time I'll put my lunch in a better hiding place…
