VERY INCONVENIENT

It's a bit of a pain not having my laptop, bcuase I usually use it in the kitchen and breakfast room where I can keep an eye on the pups. At the moment though I'm having to make do with the one in the sitting room, which is a bit removed from the puppy acton!
We've been out this morning. I was on a mission to buy a whistle and a bumbag! 'What on earth for?' you may ask! Well, these are essential bits of kit according to Victoria Stilwell, dog trainer and currently my heroine. The whistle is to be blown when your dogs are doing something they shouldn't be doing and the treats that are kept in the easily accessible bumbag are for when they are being good, obviously.
The pups were very obliging as usual when we are out and I managed to have a good look round the shops AND a cup of coffee before we set off home.
I've made some temporary adjustments to the digging area outside and have hidden said area under planks of wood that are rammed into place by the wheelbarrow - very Heath Robinson, but it's stopped the digging for now. Hopefully at the weekend Charles will find a more effective way of solving the problem.
Right, I think it's time for a walk. Must go and get my whistle and (very nice brown leather) bumbag...
