It has been very hot here again today and  I was allowed to play wtih the hose again! Last night we went fishing and I was in trouble.  Daddy had told me not to go into the water until he said so but I could not resist and I plunged in. I pretended not to hear him calling me to get out and swam off to the other side of the island that is in the middle of the lake.
I could hear him calling and sounding crosser by the moment and so I thought I had better go back. 
My way was blocked by a family of Canada Geese that had come off the island into the water. There were both parents and 6 goslings. They were not pleased to see me bobbing up and down and they came towards me with outstretched necks and hissing.  This meant that I could not swim back the way I had come and I had to swim right round the island.  Daddy, in the meantime, was getting crosser and crosser – he was unaware of my encounter with the hostile geese. When I eventually reached land, he shut me in the Land Rover and I did not get to do my water retrieving
We are going out for a meal tonight and tomorrow we are having a WHOLE roast chicken. I must get my strength up before I am banished to my holiday quarters! Back tomorrow!
