Dogs in the Fells

I'm Maia, the other one is Io (short for Calliope... phew, what a mouthful!). We're Weimaraners. I'm just 10, she's four and hairy. There'll be pictures of us on here somewhere. We live in the fens south of Lincoln and in Cumbria north of Cockermouth. We go up them bumps a lot. It's much better than the flat stuff. We live with Hairyface and the Screature. It's OK.

I'm a fast, fit Weimaraner who always gets mistaken for the younger dog. OK, my spelling can be wobbly, and my syntax aint too great but hey, I'm a dog!

Here we go then... (Feb 22nd 2006)

After all that Chrimbo stuff, it went quiet for a bit at the weekends. Can't do owt int week as they're off working. That's what they say, anyway.
A month of wet and windy weather and a fire to keep from going out (that's my job - official fire guard - Hairyface told me) meant we stayed put and did nowt much. Hairyface went up Smithy's Fell, a coupla times, as usual, but the only real leg stretch was through Brundholme Woods and up Latrigg in Feb.

It were right warm in woods but bl**dy perishing on top o' Latrigg. No white stuff though. Mind you there were lots and lots of it on Skiddaw and them other big bumps - but he wouldn't go up.
Hairyface didn't snap away like a loony either, he dint even take his gloves off.
We ended up in the Dog and Gun. It's nice in there but I dint see any dogs (or guns....)
Hairyface tried some of the new Derwent Brewery Beer. It washed his steak and ale pie down a treat. (He said.)

All that after a huge bacon butty, first thing ,from the tram man in Keswick car park. (He's a nice man, he likes us - as he gives us bits of bacon fat everytime he sees us - which seems to be about once a month on average.)

I could get used to predictable.
