To Market, To Market.....

Dad is away but Mum isn't working today ...yay!!  Pat took us to Brigg market ... OMG! Walked into the street and there's a bloke with a stall and box after box of toys and even better, FOOD, the smell - ooh I can't tell you how goooood!  Then there were so many doggie people wanting me to love them. It was hard remembering the "F" rule: Four Feet on Floor = Fuss...  but I did it a lot... and got lots of fuss.

We went right through the market and found another doggie stall and a lovely man who fussed me, said I was lovely (yup, I am), went off and came back with a piece of sausage for me nom nom!!!!  After that we went to the pub.  Great place called The Yarborough Hunt with lots of people who give doggie fusses. Mum and Pat had coffee and Mum gave me some of my treat snacks when I was doing what she wanted.   I know when I get it right, as doing good things makes a clicky noise happen and when Mum hears it she knows she needs to give me a treat.  It wasn't easy as there were lots of distractions to excite me and that makes me chew my lead.  Mum says that's like humans biting their nails and it is a BAD habit.  She kept reminding me and after about half an hour I felt totally relaxed.  

Then we went back up the market. Mum bought me a new toy, a Kong Wubba, and while she was doing that I sneaked my nose into a box of soft toys where I found a chicken. Mum was still busy so I gently picked it up, but then aargh, it crowed at me and made me jump a mile!  Then I squeezed it again, ooh funny toy, I like it!   Mum said we had to go and to put it back in the box but the nice man said I was so lovely I could have it as a free gift!  It's profitable being cute like me! Finally, we went back to the other stall and Mum bought a HUMUNGOUS soft bed for the lounge and the man gave me a biscuit too.   

Oh, that reminds me, I forgot to tell you last night's surprise..... I slept in Mum's room for the first time, in my den.  I slept all night and mum was very happy.  That's why she's bought me a daybed for the lounge to go where my den was.
