Yay! Weekend time!

Tre has been with us a whole week now!

Ian went for a walk this morning with Tre.... An early morning for me as we need to go and pick up the gates for the drive.... Simon has gone for a cycle ride this morning, so we decided to wait until he comes back before we go out. Whilst waiting we tried Tre in the back of the car with the seats down with some blankets and hooked him onto a D ring on the floor.... We sat in the car.... Well Ian was in the front and I was in the back, then I slowly started moving further away. I then moved to the passenger seat in the front, Tre had some chew toys to keep him amused, and we were all quite happy just sitting on the drive, so we went for a trip round the block (being a bit rural that's a 15 min drive) and all was fine :)

Simon returned from his cycle ride and stayed at home with Tre, whist we went to collect the gates.... With the temp gate still in situe, we proceeded to fit one of the gates... Whilst this was happening we had a call from Neil (our close friend that lives just round the corner) to say there was some burning of woods that needed to be done and would we like a BBQ? Well it would be rude to turn and invite like that down.

Once we have finished the first gate we packed a doggie bag and went round to see Neil. The garden stake was used in his rear garden, so Tre could venture, but not get into trouble. The doggies next door to Neil were happy and excited to see Tre, and one of them jumped his fence.... Magic (the dog who came over) just seemed keen to meet Tre as he is not used to seeing one in Neil's garden

After some food, Tre was getting a little agitated and wanted to sit on laps, he was starting to look tired, bless him being a Saturday he had not had a little kip in the afternoon. Tre was wanting to sit on Ian's lap but he was a little big for that, so, myself and Ian pulled our chairs together. Tre was up and had enough room with the two of us together. I was starting to feel tired, and by this time Tre was looking quite shattered, so we went home and left the boys to carry on playing with the wood fire and food.

We got home, changed the bed clothes and went straight to bed. Both of us sound asleep by the time the others got home, and that was only and hour after us!
