WetSpaniel and I

This evening marked the end of a long stint at work. Eight long days in a row, with four of them also on-call overnight and I'm looking forward to giving my brain (and feet) a rest!

Yesterday morning we popped down to the river for a hurried runaround before work and the brown dog had such a good time that I'd promised him a longer trip today. Although there's rain promised this weekend the evening has been warm and the lovely clear river in the village is very inviting.

Although not actually a keen swimmer, Austin loves bounding around in the shallow water chasing his tennis ball and he's had a great time tonight. Watching him having fun is a great way to relax after a busy few days and it's nice to let him have time to enjoy himself without having to rush off to dedicate my time to other people's pets!
