Harrier here again.  Apologies for the delay in putting up my challenge but I have had a few technical problems that needed to be overcome.

Well here is the next one of my challenges.  I had a variety of other offerings but Mum said these were not suitable for public viewing.  I feel this is a little unreasonable, it is just simply that a dogs view of artistic license is different to a humans idea of what is appropriate.  

Harrier here, after the success of my first challenge and the fact that Marty and Aunty Biscuit are now fully on board here is picture 2.  This beautiful specimen was in the field when we went Walkies the other morning and Marty and I enjoyed the aroma.  The colours and textures are beautiful against the green grass 

Harrier here.  Have stolen a few seconds on the key board while Marty is out rolling.  I just wanted to update you on a new development here.  It appears that humans have bought a new camera although I was unsure whether they really understand how it works, so I decided to help.  How hard can it be....   First I tried sniffing it but it didn't seem at all interesting, then I slept on it but have to report it does not make a good pillow.  It does not make any interesting noises if pushed around the floor but poking at it with a paw produced some interesting results.  Watching mum this new thing usually has its own legs and swings around which was fun but combine the two and you can get interesting noises and flashes of light.  Cool or the what! 

Saddlers and Saddlery Shops are one of those strange and bemusing recreations that appear to kidnap your human for hours, while you have to remain outside or worst at home.  Even Auntie Biscuit gets side tracked by then and she doesn't ride horses,  I have often wondered what is inside them but never been allowed in.  Discussions with Fluffy have indicated that US saddlers allow dogs inside and apparently they are just large shops containing rows and rows of leather stuff.  Really boring.  When Fluffy and Uncle Robin took Mum (on a recent trip) they apparently sat on the floor in the corner and went to sleep so apparently we are not missing much.

Due to the inclement British weather Mum has been rather slow in constructing the contents of the seat reported in The Box Contents Revealed.  However the recent warm weather and the absence of Aunty Biscuit has spurred her into action and said seat in now proudly displayed on the patio.  Not that she has got to use it as it has showered every time she was free.  Today fuelled by the fact it was still warm (even if the sun isn't shining) she decided to try it.  We sat around in mock disinterest as she got out the cushions and a throw to cover it (the cushions are ecru) and then proceeded to go back in the house for a coffee and the computer.  She was going to wrote the blog from the garden to give it a summer air...

Just how many humans does it take to put suncream on an unco-operative horse’s nose?  Apparently the grey or white bits of equines with pink skin underneath can become sunburnt so need protection.....

Urgent News Flash.

Ciro the Chihuahua has just sent news that Auntie Biscuit has been seen alive and well on the top of a mountain.  How dare she fraternize with foreign dogs and ignore us.  We have been sent documented proof of the siting but our doggy eyes are better equipped for spotting moving treat carriers rather than spotting them on pieces of paper.  Can anyone help?

What is it with crafters and tape measures, rulers and other gaugey sizey things?  Mum has a thing that you can stick a knitting needle through to see what size it is, (haven’t the heart to tell her that its probably written on the end of it) with a bit up the side that can measure how much rib she’s done.  Somewhere in the house there must also be dozens of tape measures, they just vanish.  Paw on heart this is nothing to do with any of the dogs, we have plenty of other far more appetising things to devour.  

Hello Harrier here.  We wish we could report that normal service has resumed but it hasn't.  Auntie Biscuit has gone on holiday and Mum has been left in charge.  Marty is having a strop (and refusing to write a blog) as Mum is not doing things her way.  I have stepped in as it is not Mums fault that she is not psychically linked to Marty's every whim.  Quite good for the rest of us canines in the household if you ask my opinion but don't tell her I said that or she will have a strop at me as well.....
