Sharing time between Sam and Wiggly on a busy day
Sharing time between Sam and Wiggly on a busy day

Preparation for Sam's Field Trial with a Little meadow run and a vet visit for removing grass seed from his eye.

Some property insurance action, and then some time with Wiggly who was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and good company for a drink and meal at a local pub

I woke up around 5.00am this morning very cold from having few bed clothes and the French Windows open and had to get a key to close them and replace my covers before I could get back to sleep.

Then not wanting to get up at 7.00am, I laid there with my morning tea for too long before taking my shower and getting shaved and dressed for breakfast.

Out with Sam to get him toileted and then time for a run across the Little Meadow before off to the bus stop to say good-bye to the girls. He still kept stopping to toilet and munch grass more than I would have liked, but he is gradually getting more willing to do what I want in quartering un-inviting ground.

The gates to the Scouts camp wood were open and this week has seen the battle of the fence won by the dog owners as the other barriers to dog entry are down for the time being. Some telephone calls once back in the office, trying to rationalise our property buildings insurances when I got more success out of St Neots Insurance Services than Vinters.

Tried also to talk to Nigel to make some arrangements but found him busy and unavailable at times I could talk to him. In late morning, I tidied myself up a bit and drove over to have lunch with Wiggly to try and cheer her up a bit. She was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and good company for a drink and meal at a local pub.

We had a good chat and I felt it was nice to meet her in a courting situation where we were not leaping into bed. More desk-work and another run for Sam in preparation for tomorrow's Novice Field Trial. I had a problem after this as I found a grass seed lodged in Sam's left eye and so went over to Tebbutt’s, the vets, and got it removed.

Popped back over to Montague Street after and accompanied Wiggly whilst she received a visit from the insurance loss adjuster. He seemed satisfied as to the validity of the claim but could not say how much she would get and when she would get it. The evening relaxing and watching televised football and then tired to bed.
