We've had some lovely walks along the canal in recent days. I love all the tantalising smells in the hedges by the path.
I was a bit jealous when I saw these two hounds who smiled and waved (in a doggy way) as they sailed past us. That looks a great way to ride.
I suppose for now I have to stick to walking the paths...but maybe one day we'll have our own canal boat trip.
Have you ever read Narrow Dog to Carcasonne?
It's a brilliant book by a man called Terry Darlington from the Midlands who took his whippet (and his wife) on a really adventurous trip to France on a canal boat. The LOTH can thoroughly recommend it. It's a fabulously funny and entertaining read.
Today I am again joining the Saturday Pet Blog Hop hosted by Life With Dogs, Two Little Cavaliers and Confessions of the Plume.
If you'd like to join in and make new pet blogger friends, please follow your three hosts, add your blog to the Linky and copy and paste this week's new Linky code into the html editor of your own blog. The list will automatically update on everyone's blogs as new sites add themselves over this weekend and we can all hop from blog to blog and find out everybody's news.
Thanks again to our three hosts for putting on the hop!
If you follow a new blog after finding them in the blog hop - please let them know that you found them on the Saturday Pet Blog Hop.

Hey Winnie!
Wow, that canal would be fun to ride on and to swimmie in! Do you ever get to go swimmie in it? I bet there are all sorts of cool critters to sniff there. Mom wrote down that book and she's gonna check it out!

Winnie - it's great to see how other dogs live. Thanks for sharing your pics and blog post with us!
I'm dropping by the pet blog hop today - stop by to see the gorilla at the Calgary Zoo enjoying a little fun: http://www.pet-peeves.org/2011/06/25/calgary-zoos-breakdancing-gorilla/
We'd love to take the boys on a boat, although we are worried about what Monty might do! It looks like a pretty place to take a walk.

Looks like a nice place to walk.
Can you swim Winnie?
The canal looks gorgeous to walk down! I'm jealous of it and your great weather, too! We have a canal 'nearby', but it's just a little too far to go for a daily walk.
Never saw a canal boat - no canals around here - looks like it would be a real nice ride!
*gasp* Winnie, I wonder if that was David and Ella! David has a blog, and he and Ella are both my friends on Twitter. They've been out in a boat before! Anyway, your walk looks awesome!

Hi Winnie, we are Poppy and Abbey and we live on a narrowboat. You should watch out for two Wire Haired Fox Terriers cruising on a canal near you.
