An Afternoon Together for Lennox & Max
We had a lovely lunch out on Saturday with Tanya and Peter (Marcus's parents) & Kelly & Andy (Marcus's brother and his girlfriend). The food was great and the pub although it looked a little dodgy from the outside was well laid out with the restaurant recently refurbished.
After a long leisurely linch with brilliant company and proper espresso and italian coffees we decided to make an afternoon of oti. The others headed back to Kelly & Andys' and we went home and collected Max.
Max had not escaped into next door and seemed to have settled down for the time we were away with Barney, so he bounded up and jumped into the car ready for an adventure. (Max will get in any boot that is opened for him, whether there is shopping in it or anything else there, he is in there!)
We got to the house and settled down for a few drinks. The dogs were playing and loved having all these people around.
Andy & Marcus decided that a walk to the local pet store would be good. So, dogs in tow or us in tow behind the dogs(!) we set off. Max & Lennox loved the walk and met some kids and some dogs on the greeen between the pet centre and the house. They also both appreciated the various tasters that they had in the store, this was to ensure what we bought was approved of by both dogs.... which of course it was!
On the way back the dogs found a loose dog that no one seemed to own, but when we tried to approach it the dog seemed to head home into the houses near the green.
Max & Lennox soon settled down to their chews and the odd treat. Andy started to put his fishing pics on to a blog and everyone had a good afternoon, that soon turned into evening.
We stopped off on the way home at the park and had a quick game of fetch with the ball. Unfortunately the ball disappeared in to the gloom and after an attempted search we thought the ball was lost. It was a ball we had found on an earlier walk, so no big loss. Just that it is the only ball that Masx can not destroy with his amazing nashers... tennis balls be ware! :)
Once home, Marcus fell asleep on the sofa and Max next to him on the floor.
A great day and a brilliant chance for a lot of the Houghtons to get together, hope to do it again soon.
Lennox is now at his holiday home (Kelly & Andy's) while Tanya & Peter go off to the US for their Autumn / Winter 2006 holiday in Florida.
