08 Nov 2016: Oscar still hates his Santa suit!

   Tracey: He looks adorable!
   Patricks: Hmm, little monster. He's in disgrace after today, ignored Daddy and went for a swim in the canal for 10 minutes, then ignored Daddy and went squirrel hunting.
   Tracey: I would have thought you were used to being ignored... ;)

23 Oct 2016: I felt a bit mean after Ratty's short Sunday walk along the canal this morning. The weather was so nice, so we had a bit of brekkie, Rat said he knew of a nice place, and I let him be co-driver. Three hours of woods and swimming later, and he definitely didn't want to get out of the car when we got back!

23 Oct 2016: A panorama of Swinsty Reservoir, one of Oscar's favourite jaunts.

   Edward: Looks chilly.
   Patrick: Not too bad Ed, I'd guess it was about 12 deg C in the sunshine.
   Quite comfortable if walking as it's about 5.5km all the way round - well, for humans that is, double for ZigZag the spaniel :)
   Edward: Oscar won't mind -3c
