BERTS BLOG: You’ve caught me snoozing on the
deck. I might have become a shade
browner, purely accidentally, as I have been sun bathing. Normally I am with the Boss in the wooded
shade or in his box on wheels, which he calls a ‘pick up’. I get confused as ‘picking up’ is what I am
supposed to do when we go shooting and as I can’t drive it seems a bit strange,
but I digress - I have been left to my own devices, well actually the devices
of the Mrs whilst the Boss goes off chasing little white balls with his sticks
which I am not allowed to chew. I was
dreading being left behind, but I managed to behave myself and me and the Mrs
got along fine. I had some long walks
around the fields that I remembered from when I was a puppy, sniffing familiar
smells in the undergrowth and best of all jumping in muddy puddles – something
which I am told is all the rage at the moment among the pig world, but hey, a
dog can do it too. Needless to say it wasn’t such a favourite with the Mrs, who
muttered my name was Bert, not Peppa Pig.
I had to be hosed down the moment we arrived home, but that was quite
welcome as well as in this wonderful sunny weather I dried really quickly while
doing a spot of sun bathing. I think she
might have been feeling sorry for me as I was missing the Boss, or possibly she
misunderstood my feeding instructions as she gave me two meals a day instead of
one and I didn’t have the heart to tell her so I just put on my angelic
expression and gobbled it down in pure delight.
