I put a bit of a damper on proceedings this morning as I needed a shower and Hubby couldn’t paint anything in damp conditions.
So we had a field trip instead which turned out to be an interesting interlude.
We made sure we had a dog lead, haltie, poo bags and treats, then set off. When we’d parked up, we opened the boot to discover no dog collar.
It is against the law to take your dog out in public without a collar and disc thereon showing your name, address and phone number. You can also be fined for not having the necessary items to clear up after your dog.
We therefore went into overdrive and luckily had a training lead on the back of the passenger seat, so Hubby took her into one shop to get a new collar and I went to the shoe repairers a little further up to get a disc done.
The collar Hubby had purchased was actually a training collar and lead combined, so not really what we were after, so it was up to another shop for a standard collar for her. Of course she was familiar with the shop, layout, staff and where the treat tin was. One of the regular girls helped us put the collar and disc on as well as feed Maya treats, so she was very well behaved.
We couldn’t get what we had hoped and tried another outlet, again where Maya is known and she knows where the treats are, but without success.
Back to the car, we bought a snack and coffee then went on to the industrial estate, but no luck there either, so it was time for home.
Lunch was sausages, bean and mash which we had at 2pm, and this afternoon Hubby has done the painting he wanted to do and also cleaned off the rest of the tiles.
The snag list is reducing nicely, though some of the things can’t be done until the flooring is laid because there will be a slight height difference as it will go underneath the cupboard and plinth. We hope to take the existing floor tiles up the weekend before the fitter comes, and will put down lining paper to provide a nice clean surface for him.
Note:
We now have a lead and collar complete with the necessary disc in the car just on case.
Some women collect shoes or handbags………… Maya collects leads and collars!

Good for Maya, Ruby has four leads, 5 collars and two discs! We once had to buy a collar and lead when out on finding we had forgotten both. So you are not alone. 💜
At least we remembered the dog!!
That’s my fear , forgetting the dog🤗🤗🤗🤗as if
How is Ruby?
It’s always good to have a spare. Pippa used to roll around and work her collar off deliberately 🙄
Lol about the lead and collar! Very cute! I’m glad the snag list is lessening now!
We can’t do much else now so can relax a bit.
At least Maya won’t be leading you into temptation…I hope! 🙂
ha!
