However
I fell in again. Ma was steering and Pa
was walking with me but I really wanted to be on the boat with Ma and decided
to jump aboard but somehow I misjudged the distance between the bank and the
boat and plopped into the canal. I was
determined to get to the boat and swam like mad after it but realised that my
little legs couldn’t doggy paddle fast enough so gave up and let myself be
fished out of the water by Pa. I don’t
know how I managed to miss the boat - maybe I need specs, who knows.
We
spent three days doing a lot of cruising which was really boring – thank
goodness there were a few locks.

One
day we went to the pub and met Fred and Lisa who I had met before. The four of them were drinking and chatting
but didn’t seem to realise that my dinner time had been and gone!! It’s a wonder they couldn’t hear my tummy
rumbling. Then they got some food – for
THEMSELVES L It was about 9pm when we got back to the boat
for my dinner – I have never eaten so fast in my life!
Next
stop was a water park where there was a “doggie dipping” area but I wasn’t
allowed to even put my paw in as it was really dirty. However it was a lovely place to explore and
I almost lost Ma and Pa as I ran off with another dog and when I turned round
they weren’t there. I ran back down the
towpath but still no sign of them – then I remembered that they were sitting
looking over the water park so I ran through the undergrowth and found them –
phew!!
I
then had a boring few days as we didn’t move on and Ma disappeared for a day –
she came back though J However Ma had some nice lady visitors who
made a big fuss of me and Val brought me some doggie biscuits – you can come
again Val J
We
left the Trent and Mersey Canal and went out onto the River Trent – that was
fun as we sped along with the tide under us – well that’s how it seemed but all
too soon we were on the River Soar – but more of that later.
