Today was my first Tweet-up without the Boss so it was a bit of a milestone. 'Her Indoors' was a little concerned as, since we lost him, I've been more reactive with other furs, and she didn't want me spoiling the event with an unseemly terrier commentary. Also, my good behaviour credentials suffered a slight set back this morning, as I accidentally chewed 'Her Indoors' umbrella, which she'd foolishly left in the hall. In my defense, it looks a bit like my toys so how was I to know?
Anyway, things took a distinct turn for the better when we headed for my BT Posse pals, Mabel and Archie's house. They had one of our Californian BTs, Topa's humums staying and I had the pleasure of some company in the back of the Mini on the way to Headley Heath. I hopefully provided some distraction from 'Her Indoors' navigating skills, which to be honest, were embarrassing, but we managed to get there with a few minutes in paw, more through good luck than judgement, it's got to be said.
I had more warning signs attached to my person than your average nuclear establishment, so I thought it was only right and proper to show 'Her Indoors' up as completely paranoid by largely behaving myself. I stuck to the back and had a pleasant trip down memory lane, accompanying a great senior, Coco, as an outrider to his buggy. When we stopped for a group photo however, I couldn't resist a quick woof and consequently set everyone else off. 'Her Indoors' promptly moved me to the back, so I'm just a florescent dot in the distance in all the shots which isn't ideal.
Lunch proved more fruitful and I'd like to thank the hudad with the sausages for a nice snack and Mabel and Archie's humum for 'Her Indoors' chocolate brownie. Mabel and Archie's new hupup was getting a fair bit of socialising from what I could see, so it's unlikely she's going to grown up reactive which is a blessing. I'm not sure a florescent 'Give Me Space' bib would suit her.
Still, we're back home now and I'm suitably weary after meeting 37 other Border Terriers in one afternoon. That's a lot of furs!
