What made you smile today?

Last day of our holiday today - shooting again. This time we came back with a 50 year old side-by-side shotgun that someone was getting rid of - it was free. Well the week after next the Thursday Club (game shooters) are having a bit of a do, to which we have been invited, with 50 side-by-side in the morning and 50 over-and-under in the afternoon....now we have a gun to do the morning shoot. Fingers crossed I can get the day off work....
 
Reuben, on our short walk just now . Behind us came a lovely couple with a three years old black Lab , ironically called Reuben :nod: My Reuben was carrying his beloved ball , as was the other Reuben , I chattered for a few minutes then they walked on ahead and we got to the river where I did my usual chucking the ball up and down the bank . Eventually , leg pain got the better so I called him up and began to walk back whereupon he decided that Reuben 2 was a much better prospect and began to leg it in the opposite direction towards his new friend who was by now well out of sight . I called , I whistled and called again , and guess what ? Two Reubens appeared round the corner :facepalm: I could hear the couple calling their dog so they both ran back :giggl: I thought to myself that this could go on for hours if I wasnt careful but had left my shoulder bag with dog whistle in the car by mistake . I had no strength in my leg to go and fetch my boy so began to slowly walk back to the car with Nelly when out of the corner of my eye, I spotted him about 50 yards behind me , plodding along towards me and thankfully on his own this time . No harsh words were spoken , after all he was only responding to his name :giggl:

We have been to the theatre tonight - first time since February 2020. It was so good. No interval, socially distanced, had to keep masks on and all very safely done. Can’t beat live theatre 🎭😊
Ooooh! What did you see? February 2020 was also the last time I went to the theatre and I miss it so mu!
 
My two Reuben story get even more crazy . I was chatting online to my Reubens breeder last night and told her of the incident . She went on to tell me that another black Lab puppy from Reubens litter was homed to a couple who live in Bodmin, and that she knows they called him Ruben and given that both dogs were almost three years old , it seems very likely that the two are brothers xx

My dog walking friend Fiona gave me an early birthday present today! My birthday is in September but she said she wanted me to be able to use my present in the summer, so here it is20210708_124500.jpgI've seen this photographer's pictures of Fiona's two dogs and they're beautiful. Apparently she particularly enjoys taking photos of black dogs, so I'm looking forward to seeing her shots of Joy. A lovely, thoughtful present that has really made me smile!
