Diss-covering Diss

Yesterday was a hoot!

Mum's sister, Auntie Lin, came round to see us.

It was a lovely surprise since I've not had many visitors yet and I know Mum has got cabin fever staying at home with me.

Did you have to do
this to me Mum?
When Auntie Lin arrived, I greeted her with a little woof and lots of tail wagging.

My auntie has 2 doggies of her own, Tiza and Tango, 2 Jack Russell Terriers.   You might have met Tiza before, but if not, click here to get introduced.

Tango is a right little monster but is only young and still learning his manners.  But I've not yet met either of them because I've not had my full set of vaccinations yet.

Anyway, after a bit of a romp and play in the garden, Auntie Lin suggested that we all go into Diss, our local market town, for a coffee and a bite to eat.

Well, that meant I got to try out my new doggie carrier.

Mum strapped it on and padded out the bottom with cushions and a pee-pad, just in case I had an accident.

Then she popped me in and attached my collar to the internal harness and pulled the drawstring tight so that I couldn't get out.

And off we went.

Being market day in the town, there were loads of people who stopped and fussed me.

It was noisy, busy and buzzing and I just loved being out and about.  

Mum says it was part of my puppy socialisation plan, meaning that I get exposed to all sorts of positive experiences.

We went into a shop cos Auntie Lin wanted some lipsticks.  Don't know why cos' she's lovely as she is!

The Mum said 'let's have a coffee and a bite to eat', so off we toddled to a lovely cafe in the Town called Mere Moments where the outside overlooks the Mere.

Come visit sometime soon!

I loved it there cos owners Helen and Sharon and Waitress Ailsa all fussed me and brought me a lovely bowl of cool water in a china bowl!   Posh eh?

Mum and Aunty Lin had a bite to eat but I started to get very hot, so Mum decided to get me home.

As we were leaving the cafe, lots of lovely children fussed and petted me very gently and some nice old ladies chatted to me.  Only thing was, someone thought I was a mongrel!  How dare they!!  Mum soon put them right though.

Once home, I found a cool spot in the garden and slept until Dad came home for play.

Dad's home for the weekend!   Yippee!!!!

PS. I slept well last night and didn't disturb Mum and Dad.   Had done a poop on the floor though.  Tee Hee!

PPS.  Hugo is my friends but Lily still doesn't want to know me....     :-(
