Troll Hunting

Today I went Troll Hunting with Mummy and Daddy. Daddy tells me there are trolls living at the canal but I have never seen one.

Anyway I had a lovely time but Mummy says I am the naughtiest little spaniel in the whole wide world.

Really I'm not, I am very well behaved.

this is where we went

Daddy always likes to stop and talk to the horses

Zooming around the field

And then the best bit of the walk :)

I did lots and lots of swimming and there were even coots to chase. I do like chasing coots.

And a bit more swimming.

And then Mummy used that darn whistle to call me out of the water, I did take my time though and swam about a bit more first. Then I got out and we walked along the tow path pass the lock and yes more swimming.

I really was having a lot of fun swimming, but then I decided that I would investigate what was on the other bank so got out for a little look. Apparently I wasn't mean to do this so yet again Mummy blew on that stupid whistle but I was not going to listen.

Then I got stuck in the brambles and reeds and once I'd freed myself I did begrudging swim back to Mummy.

See that big long stick - that was stuck in my tail

I then scampered back into the water.

Then Mummy and Daddy started to use their grumpy voices so I had to get out and do you know what they did they put me on the stupid lead.

I wasnt done swimming so I tried to drag Daddy in with me

Honestly if they don't want me to swim then they should take me to a field not the canal. How can they say I am naughty when they take me to these places. Really what do they expect?

Anyway I was super good on my lead.

Which meant that Daddy let me off again. I waited for Daddy to be distracted by more horses and dived into the disused canal section. I swam about a bit and I went and had a look at what was on the other bank and did a bit more paddling.

Can you see me?

It was great fun and even better stinky. But yet again Mummy and that stupid whistle. What is it with the whistle? Why does she always have to spoil my fun?

I got out and was made to go back on the stupid lead again.

nope I am not looking at you

I wasn't allowed off the lead again.

this is where Daddy says the troll lives and apparently I am lucky I wasn't gobbled up

I think Daddy might have made up the troll, what do you think?
