The Musings of Muffin / Sleepover at Maisie and Flora's Kennel

Here I am "On the Mat" at Manor Farmhouse Goodness only knows what it means but it one goes under the table when "On the mat" is shouted pieces of bacon and other tasty morsels fly in our direction!!

Well here I am at Manor Farmhouse on a bright Monday morning in late October.
For those of you who might stumble upon this site by chance and wonder who the heck I am and that I might just be barking mad, you would of course be right.

I am a black and white Springer Spaniel and for the past three weeks and the next five weeks I am boarding away from home.

I live with my elderly humans in the fine village of Westbourne and being of a kindly nature I decided it was time the "Grey Tops" spent a bit of time in the sun. So on October 6th I packed them off to warmer climates and went to stay with Guss and Gieves at their ancestral pile in the South Down.

Lets hope that the next week will be as much fun as the last three weeks, I have had a ball with Gieves and Guss, although I still do have one unsolved mystery, and that is the "House Bunny!!

" What is she muttering about I hear you ask?.........Well this is it in a nutshell, I consider myself the best remover of "Bunnies" in this part of the world and Gieves and Guss have a "Bunny" that insists on being indoors and I have tried to chase it out, but alas I have failed because each time I try the human "Grey Top" that lives with Gieves and Guss says

Muffin "Leave the cat alone"

Now I am not saying she is wrong but in my canine opinion this is a "Bunny" with short ears and should be outside as far away as possible!! Gieves and Guss for some unknown reason seem to agree with the "Human Grey Top" but this I am sure is down to then being Pointers and loyal to their own human.

So the upshot is I have not been able to do my duty and rid the house of "Bunnies" due to it be something called a Cat!!

Oh well you can't win them all and I will continue to humour them all and leave it alone!!

Anyway back to the billet at Manor Farmhouse, Maisie and Flora also have a Grey Top ( or Blond in her case but hey ho who cares!) who is a bit handy with the scissors so.

I have had a trim.
In picture 1 you will see the before and in picture 2 you will see the after and picture 3 will show you what came off ( berludy cheek!!)



Apart from the run in with the scissors everything is pretty good here, food much the same, games good but we do cross country on the Common.



Geography much the same......
Get on Your Bed,
Outside,
On the Mat ( still have no idea about that one!)
Move etc!!

No "House Bunnies" here but then I would not have imagine for one moment Flora would have put up with that! little bit on nonsense.

Did gardening with Andrew yesterday photo included and have been in the car ( first in is the best although if I wait until last its great 'cause I can squash Flora) Quite enjoy the car ride not having to do all that creeping and ducking to keep my "Grey Top " happy is really quite a relief!!

I will add some more if my " Intrepid Grey Tops" manage to read this and leave me a comment or two. Now I have mastered the mouse! it easy.
I just wish someone had explained that the mouse is the plastic thing that I click with my paw and not something one chases and kills

( mmmmmmmmmmmmm perhaps this is a " House Mouse!!"

Bye for now Muffin
