Bugsy and I went for a stroll today. It's the first time I've had him out and about - it was an absolute treat. He is such a sweetheart.

We went down Station Road, over the level crossing and on to the cycle path towards the golf course. Two trains went past - he paid no heed; three bikes, no heed; he greeted a couple of dog walkers, exchanged sniffs with the dogs and got a scratch from one of the people, then we went home.

He's interested in everything - especially if he gets to investigate, so I'm quite happy to give him time to do that. Mustn't forget he's only got little legs, though, and doesn't walk as fast as Smokey.

I took Smokey out at the weekend, down onto the camp. He was very full of himself - he'd had his feet trimmed and had his "go faster" feet on. He too was very well behaved, so he'll be out again tomorrow if the flags are down. He's not seen any trains yet though. That should be interesting!
