Happy Easter

Well you humans celebrate something called Easter - not sure what it is but Kaz has had some time off work to spend with me and Angus. On Friday we went for a run at 6am - it was a beautiful day and Kaz got a bit daring and ran further than normal before turning around - hah she paid for it coz she ended up walking a bit on the way back (well it was up hill!)

After we got home and had breakfast she took Angus in the garden and did some training with him to make sure he is keeping up to scratch - he was - I made sure by keeping a close eye on things.

We also helped her build an outside sink area for me and Angus to drink from (apparently she thinks its for other things though). Here is a pic - she was very proud.......oh dear little things and all that! (Don't tell her that the patio needs weeding tho!)

 
 
 
 
 
Kaz also had some photos sent over from Wednesday night's training session with Penrith team - as you can see they had some serious fun with Gerry the casualty but then Kaz sent them all off to find a missing vulnerable young party - they had to go and find the easter eggs in the dark - Kaz wouldn't let me and Angus help at all - that really wasn't fair.




Yesterday after doing stuff in the garden, Kaz went down to her friend Angie and Colin's - what she didn't tell me and Angus was that she was going to have the first BBQ of the year - that's really unfair - dogs are great BBQ guests, we can offer help in clearing up crumbs and can tell if something's not cooked by trying it out.....well me and Angus made up for it this morning by making sure that Kaz got up really early to go out on Helton Fell - it may be Easter Sunday but 6am is a great time to be out and about listening to the Curlews.  Angie and Colin are going to Bolivia soon to climb 5 6000m peaks and were telling Kaz all about it - they wanted Kaz to go with them but Kaz cant get the time off at the moment but she hopes to go away with them at some point soon.


Today it was the Easter collection for the search dogs so me and Angus were given a really good brushing (boo) and then we went off to stand outside Keswick Motor co and meet all our fans - I met some of the dog blog readers and had a bot of fuss and Angus certainly met loads of people and we both got lots of pats and cuddles.  Whilst me and Angus spent some quality catchup time with the other searchdogs (Skye, Kitt, Ted, Keppi and big sis Ginny), Kaz, Roger, John, Ian and Mick chatted to people about what we do - that is until Keswick team got a callout and Mick had to take Ginny off to help someone with a hurt leg.

We got back here and it was another stint in the garden for me and Angus watching Kaz plant 8 acer trees - apparently we weren't being very helpful eating the compost afterwards and we were told off and sent in in disgrace!!

Hopefully everyone on the mountains in the Lakes is taking it easy today so Kaz can spend the evening having a cuddle with us.  We're off to Kirkby Stephen tomorrow morning so Angus can do a bit of training (and hopefully I can too) - he needs it because he's going to be on his training course this weekend!  Then we are going out in the evening with one of Kaz's friends to the pub in Pooley Bridge for tea - yum.

Kaz is off work all week so on Tuesday she goes to Scotland for a few days away at the Scottish Police College for a search course and then she'll be back on Wednesday hoorah!
