Hyde Park

On our day-trip to London, we've stopped in Hyde Park, so Festus can play.

The picture is a little blurry, but I still think is a great picture. Festus is so funny.

As usual, he has his fans, taking pictures.

Fountains Abbey

We've been at Fountains Abbey with Festus. He played in the woods with his "dad" and then we took him for a walk to St Mary's Church. He decided it was better to walk with the stick.

Jumping on the tree was more difficult that he'd imagined in the beginning.

Brimham Rocks

Brimham Rocks are rock formations, balancing on top of each other. This was caused by the erosion from water and wind. At 8:15 in the morning, we were prepared to have some fun with Festus. As I had to be at the fair at 10, we couldn't stay too long.

Much to our surprise, we weren't the only ones there. A lady was walking her two dogs and young son, another lady was exercising her dog.

Cuddles... these are so frequent after he is tired and had a great time.

Beach

Sunday we went to New Brighton beach with friends. At Fort Perch Rock there was an event, so we weren't able to visit it.

We walked on Marine Promenade for a short while and after that we played with Festus in the water.

Festus plays very nice in the water. He jumps on the ball to sink it and goes in to retrieve it. It's a pleasure to stay on the sand and just watch him play.

Other dogs enter smoothly in the water, but Festus is not like other dogs. He jumps with a big splash and swims as fast as he can (with his tail up) to get the ball. I saw two persons recording him.

Festus watches carefully the guys that were in the water. They had no ball, so he was afraid they would go after his. It was so funny. He was trying to race them to the ball because he imagined people would go into the water to get his amazing toy.

As usual, he swims with his tail up. He thinks it's better to be proud, even if only the crabs see his tail up.

A short stroll after play, to dry Festus before getting in the car. It was very hot outside and his fur was dry in 15-20 minutes.

I was cleaning his nose, because it was full of sand. I like the look on the woman's face. I see it often when I'm holding Festus

Stafford Castle

This week we've been on a small holiday. I could take Festus with us to Stafford Castle. It's a very nice place to take the dog and the car park is not covered.

We stopped in a field near the entrance (in the old village), so he could play a little. I put him on lead on the way to the castle.

He was very happy we stopped near a wall with a lovely shade. It's very funny that after playing he always tries to makes us stop to sleep.

Leaving the castle.

You can see the rest of the pictures from the holiday here. RAF Museum and Monkey Forest have special posts due to the large number of photos.
