Who knew Nottingham could be this much fun!

 
Oh my gosh! Since I arrived in Nottingham on Thursday, I've been having such an wonderful time I just don't know where to begin...

It was thrilling enough to be staying with Gail's friend Janet and exploring her wee garden...

But then we met Sue and her cockerpoo Koda for a walk along the river by Trent Bridge and the excitement levels ratcheted up a notch. 


While Gail reminisced about a misspent youth watching her football team Nottingham Forest (you can see the stadium on the opposite bank of the river)...

....Koda and I got down to serious business,

Can you believe I was actually tired by the time we we were invited in to Sue's lovely Lace Market flat?

But of course the tiredness didn't last for long. Especially when I learned what the next day had in store... 

A National Fox Terrier Meet? BEYOND AWESOME!!!

On arrival at Chatsworth Park I paused briefly in front of the car parked next to ours, secretly hoping that my terrier brethren might think it was MY vehicle...

But not for long. Fox terrier mayhem beckoned! 

The event ended with a picnic and then for some reason Gail decided I needed a further 'calming down' walk before we headed off to see her brother and sister-in-law and I met my poodle cousin Coco for the first time - an encounter which went unrecorded on camera but involved contact between my brand new big boy terrier teeth and Coco's luxuriantly fluffy poodle ears....

  What a weekend!!!

  8. Nobby you 100% met you match in Koda. What a great video.
    I'm glad they quick nap restored your energy for the Terrier Meet and Greet.
    BOL BOL Gail gave you a calming walk.
    Ummm did Coco get an ear piercing from you? I recall (I think) she is larger than you but evidently her ears are at mouth level.
    PS we like 'your convertible' too.

  12. We cats might look down our noses at k9s from time to time but we all have to admit we couldn't take our humans to a picnic day; it would be wall to wall cat fights with lots of hissing and spitting. At least you guys know how to keep your humans under control. It looks kinda fun. Paw smacks Mr T

  14. Oh, Wow, Nobby!! You sure had the best few days a doggy could dream of!

    Our furbear, MJF did a similar deed to our then cousin Murphy, and both were only wee pups...petcretary and auntie soon learned to keep all defendables such as toys and food away when they were together or else worse would ensue.

    You just wanted to try out your new fangies, right??!
