Last Minute

Here we all were Mrs P, Hoof, Horace and I at the start of any ordinary day, having our breakfast and there was a knock at the door, who could it be we all asked ourselves, so we left it a few minutes and thought there is only one way to find out lets be daring and answer it😜

 

There stood in her finery was Mrs Penberthy, “is Horace home she asked” Horace immediately got to his vertically challenged legs and trotted to the door, “good morning Mrs Penberthy, what on earth are you doing here this early”. (Or words to that effect)🐷👹

 

Well Horace it is like this, I have booked a last minute holiday deal to Jamaica and wondered if you could look after my young Jack Russell terrier, his name is Nipper he is very well behaved, so I thought you would be the obvious person to look after him🙈🐶

 

With that the taxi had collected Mrs Penberthy and she was on her way to Newquay Airport🚖 ✈️

 

So Horace sat Nipper down at our breakfast table and as is customary poured him a large glass of wine (red of course) a bowl of wheaty bangs and placed a napkin on his lap. Nipper’s table manners were impeccable and on completion of breakfast he cleared everyones place setting and put the dishes into the dishwasher, not even forgetting the cleaning tablet.😇

 

Horace and Nipper were hitting it off like a house on fire, Horace was particularly impressed for such a young Jack Russell how good Nippers talking had been, especially when Horace asked Nipper if he had ever worked on a Jensen Interceptor, “Nipper said oh yes, are we talking Mark 1, 2, or 3".🚙🚘🚗🐶

 

Horace knew that Nipper was a complete petrol head, so went out into the garages and fired up the Jensen (yes the one H & H bought on eBay) and brought around into the driveway. 🐷

 

Hoof thought it would be a good idea to take Nipper up to Bude and let him have a bit of a run on the beach, a picnic and maybe get some photos. (I know it is January but these boys don’t scare easily)

So I was nominated to drive, Hoof said so as to impress Nipper drive the Jensen like you have just stolen it Bri.🚙💨💨💨

 

So Horace and Nipper sat in the back, Hoof sat in the passengers seat with his lap top and the Financial Times and off we went just like any normal family. 🐎🐷🐶😎

 

Following a good work out on the beach, Hoof set up the hamper which we always carry in the boot of the Jensen. Can you picture a horse, pig and a Jack Russell on the beach at Bude, wining and dining, answers on a postcard😂

 

We all looked at the weather and wondered if it was worth hanging around to get a couple of photos as the weather had turned all grumpy.😱

My three companions went through the camera bag and there in the very bottom something that had not seen the light of day for a long time was a little tin which Hoof thought might contain some food, then Nipper said “I have seen people blue tack these things onto the end of a lens, no idea what they do though” nor did I (steady you people) but I thought nothing ventured and all that😉😁

 

Thank you for looking at my photos, the comments and banter you leave are so appreciated.

 

Have a good weekend👍🍺🍺🍺🍷🍷🍷🐎🐷💃😎😂😂😂
