Shopping and Heroic Dogs.

Well yesterday was the bank holiday in England and Wales. In the south west of England we had some light rain. So we drove to Wales where there was much more rain!

We went to Cardiff, Instead of seeing the sights we headed straight for the st Davids centre and went shopping.

We were mainly shopping for OD and YD. We went round lots of clothes shops! However some of the display's were interesting.




(how cute) 

When we were not in the clothes shops we were here. 

yes the apple shop.....

It was a good morning. It was so nice just to have time with both of the children together. 
They are so busy with University, it is nice to get a full day together. 


In the afternoon we went visiting. 

While we were visiting, we learned the story of a hero dog. 

There are 2 dogs that live in the house we were visiting, Alfie and Mojo. 

Alfie and Mojo are very lovely (but can be a little bit naughty) 

Alfie and Mojo were taking their people for a walk in some woodland. 
As they were walking they came across a family who were upset,
 they had lost one of their dogs. 
They had been looking and looking but could not find the lost dog. 
Alfie and Mojo's people said they would also look while they were on their walk. 

Some time later, Mojo ran off suddenly, without warning.
Now Mojo's humans thought he was just being naughty. 
They followed Mojo as he ran though the woodland.
Mojo came to a stop at the bank of a stream.
Mojo, barked, and barked and barked.

As Mojo's humans got closer Mojo continued to bark. 
Mojo was frantic, barking and clawing at the edge of the bank.
The bank at that part of the stream was sheer. 
And there in the water was the lost dog. 
The dog was exhausted he was old and blind. 

Mojo's male human (being tall) climbed down into the stream. 
He passed the lost dog out of the stream.
He then had to wade downstream until he came to somewhere he could get out. 
Mojo, Alfie and their humans took the very cold and tired lost dog 
to its people, who were very grateful.

Animals are amazing.

Oh, you've made me all tearful! Poor old dog, how frightened he must have been and how lucky that your friends dog was so clever.
