BIG Dogs and Bossy Cats

We arrived in Banbury and when Mummy’s friend Malgosia drove up to meet us, I was panicking a bit because at the back of the car sat a LARGE Wolf Dog!Yes, I barked and barked at it. But Mummy’s friend Malgosia got out of the car and introduced me to Antoine. I was a little nervous and actually Antoine was a bit disturbed by my barking.

So we all got back in the car – Antonie sat in the back and I sat on Mummy’s lap timidly.  But Antoine loves the wind as much as I do.  So before long he stood right up and let the wind blow in his face – towering over us. But he was drooling and we were soon showered with his saliva!  But no telling Antoine what not to do.We finally arrived at Malgosia’s new home and I had calmed down, getting to meet Antoine properly.  Antoine is a cross between a wolf and a German Shepherd.
But just as I was getting used to him, there appeared Rose – a large white German Shepherd!!!

Help Mummy! I’ve been cornered!  I was trying to get to their food and was caught in the act by Rose. We went out to the garden and Rose kept an eye on my every movement He was actually protecting his toys!!! Awww, such a baby!Then Mummy said it was time for a group photo. I was a little nervous getting too close.

So Malgosia gave me a hug instead.And then suddenly appeared a cat. She’s called Christie.  She sat surveying what was going on. She’s the boss apparently.Oh, and then there was Louie! He’s only a kitten!  He was more interested in his naps.

So back to those big bears!  Malgosia was showing us around her garden as we followed like Pipe Piper.They’re actually quite sweet.  As we walked around, they played together, rolling and tumbling around. You see, Rose is only two and Antoine is 8 months!!! He is going to be massively big when he’s grown. Then it was time to go.  Antoine was again summoned to come with us. But I decided I like Malgosia and wanted to sit on her lap while she drove. I was actually a little confused. I always sit on this side of the car when Mummy drove but Malgosia’s car is a left hand drive.  She didn’t mind as she’s used to her cats sitting on her. But I am just a tad bigger than her cats. We had lunch at a pub and Antoine and I pretty much behaved till the end when we knew some pieces of bacon await us!Well, I learnt something today. Not all big dogs are bad vicious dogs. I liked Rose and Antoine. It was Christie I was more worried about. She told me off – put me in my place alright.

May’s comment: Meeting up with a friend and checking out the country living life. Think it’s a requirement if another dog materializes!
