Thirst TImer

Buster the Bulldog went for his first major walk this afternoon - and he had his first taste of real river. The afternoon was hot, his legs are short, his midriff huge and he was gasping with thirst, but was so afraid of the water that Jools almost had to throw him in. However, after a few false starts he was soon guzzling like a Durham miner on Friday (not, of course that Durham miners - assuming you can still find them - drink any more than any other miner anywhere else in the world).
