A taste if town life

Oscar came in to my grandparents with us today for lunch. It's been a little while since he has properly been for a walk in town.
As promised yesterday by the news, it rained today. And it is currently raining now. But it was surprisingly warm out and earlier today it was fairly dry and warm. Warm enough for me to actually go home and change into 3/4 length trousers!

Lunch was pretty nice. Oscar did some begging (bold dog!) and ended up with some bits of raw chicken!

We even brought little Buddy with us today too! Oscar carried him in with him,

Oscar's collar is a little big on him, as you can see in the photo! Speaking of collars, I'm still waiting for his Pacman collar to arrive! It was sent last Thursday, and I was told it should arrive early this week but I expected it to be here yesterday, or today. Hopefully it will get here tomorrow then because I am getting a little impatient now. Why did I decide to get the slider name tag on it? If I hadn't then it would have been here by now, but then again, the slider tag will look so cool! And I won't have to move the tags over every time I switch collars, so it will be worth it!

Oscar got a little carried away with the exploring of my grandparents house. He went in to every room, the bathroom, the sitting room, my room, the kitchen and so on. He is a very nosey dog (literally, his nose is his life!)

The problem with my grandparents house is that they have no fence outside. It means that Oscar can't go outside off leash or on his own because he could run out on to the road and get squashed by a car! And I would rather keep him alive and well thank you very much!
After lunch I went home and got changed into less heavy clothing and when I got back I took Oscar for a walk with my nan and brother out to the graveyard at the other side of town. It was a nice walk, but it's clear that Oscar isn't used to walking in town because it was a mixture of stopping and starting and him following his nose everywhere! He was relatively good though!

And we're off

He got a little muddled up!

We got back an hour later, but I had to go into town to get some food for him so my nan walked him back home with her. I arrived back to see him lying in his bed. He was obviously a little tired from all the walking and sniffing. I gave him a carrot for a little chew,

But he clearly got fed up of the carrot and left half of it to go down into the conservatory and have a snooze on the soft mat in the sun,

He spent the next hour asleep down there and I explored the interweb on the horribly slow computer in the sitting room! Then it was time to go home, which entailed yet another car ride! He is never too happy in the car and always looks so confused but it was the car ride or he stayed with nanny!

Car ride it was!

We left poor buddy there though. Oscar doesn't seem to care, maybe they aren't as close as it seems!

He had his first Turkey Drumstick today. It was huge (for a small fellow like himself) and I thought it would take him a little longer to eat than usual, but no, in no more than 7 minutes it was gone and he was licking the grass to make sure he got all of it.
