DOTTIE THE MOUNTAIN RESCUE SEARCHDOG

Sunday 10 June 2012

A couple of days holiday then a days training

So Kaz ad Daryl went off to London to see the Queen last week - well actually the Diamond Jubilee Concert - and me and the Dram dog got to stay at home with Grandma and Grandpa which was great fun.

Kaz and Darykl met up with some of the others from Mountain Rescue and they all had really good views of various singers....although for some reason Daryls finger got stuck on the camera button when someone called Kylie Minogue came on!















So this week Kaz has been a little tired after all the excitement - but today me and Kaz and Daryl and the Dram dog went out with the Penrith Team for their Sunday training exercise over at Haweswater - we had to search for a missing man and me and Kaz (with Daryl and the Dram dog as navigators) set off to search all the way up to Rough Crag but had to do the big bowl near Bleawater. When I started searching round the bowl - I heard a sheep making a lot of noise (more than they normally do) - I wasnt too sure what to do coz I knew Kaz wouold be angry if I went over to any sheep but I was a bit worried about it - so I thought I'd check it out and it was a lamb that had got into some very deep water and couldnt get out and it was really tired.  I didnt want to scare it so I laid down next to the water and just looked at it until Kaz came and rescued it.  Then we carried on searching in all the crags... it was great fun - here are a couple of pics (including a very nice one of the Dram dog and some of Kaz's team):










So after the search we then startted to do some crag training where Kaz was going to be the casualty but no sooner than she had gone up the hill to pretend to be stuck, than the pagers went off for a real team callout to help a man who'd fallen down an embankment on the river Eden near Carlisle.  Me and the Dram dog stayed in the car whilst Kaz and Daryl and the Penrith team as well as the Ambulance and Fire Service went off and sorted him out.  Me and the Dram dog are now watching the Canadian Grand Prix while Kaz and Daryl do something called 'unwinding'.
