Red flag on the Isis this morning, so no rowing on the river, and Mark decided to take the juniors up to Shotover. Glad to see that they'd all brought their cycling helmets. It took just under 35 minutes to get to the top, and I had to pull Mark up the last steep part of the hill - drat, 3 of the boys had already got there.
When all the girls had arrived, Mark said something about avoiding rabbit holes, and off they all charged. We had a good run around the yellow circuit, but I'm sorry to say that some of them didn't run the whole way. After I'd finished I found a deep muddy puddle to lie down in and drink from - generating a few sounds of disgust from the children, but it tasted good to me.
On the run back to the club, Mark mentioned something about me needing a good clean. Imagine my surprise when we approached the river, and he didn't stop, but ran up to the water edge and hurled me in. He then said something about cleaning the children as well, but they'd run away.
By the time I'd got home, we'd run about 15 miles.
About Me
- Charlie
- I'm a tri-colour border collie, born in February 2008. I used to chase cars and buses, but when I was 7 months I changed families and started running with Mark; now I don't have the energy any more. My best friends are Kim (Gran's labrador) and Eddie. My job is to chase birds out of the garden, and I'm particularly keen on small furry animals especially squirrels. Since Christmas my family has had a young pup called Sam; he's very funny, and we like to chase each other.
