All the Work and no Play...

... makes Bobby a dull pup, so they say. I've been working hard all week, so we decided that Saturday is the day for a bit of a break. I love football, and so do lots of my new friends. We split into two teams (four animals on each side) and went down to the football pitch at Princess Elizabeth Park.



As if from nowhere, a whole flock of sheep appeared. Typical sheep, they decided that our grass was the best in the whole park, and they marched onto the pitch and started to graze. Well I don't know if you've ever tried to play football around a flock of sheep, but, believe me, it's not easy. They may not be fierce or aggressive, but they won't move out of the way, and they are very single minded when comes to munching the grass. Plus, they have no understanding at all of the offside rule.



After about 10 minutes we finally managed to persuade them to move to the sidelines and got the game underway at last. I think it helped that we've got a lamb on our team, so they decided to support us. Before long we were having a fantastic game, and guess what? I scored the winning goal!

Yes, Bobbyspotted it and pestered and pestered until we set it up. Please note there's another puppy on the other team, conclusively proving that Bobby really is from labrador.
