Luka's walk

Blue House Farm
After such an amazing and tiring Saurday, you'd think Luka wouldn't want another walk around Blue House Farm. But oh no... He was so excited to get out there! After going to church as a Scout in the pouring rain and cold, I came back to find Luka ready and waiting at the door. My friend Katherine came round to walk Luka with me(there was some barking there too!) and then off we went. We saw 4 dogs along the way. The first dog we saw was a tiny black&tan Jack Russell puppy(example picture of the puppy is on the left). I whispered to Katherine that it was so small I thought Luka would've eaten it and I was praying out loud that he didn't bark. Being a good boy, all he did was sniff and cuddle this little pooch and it was a lovely sight! Luka is so kind with smaller dogs. 
He looked like this!
The next dog however, Luka wasn't too keen on, a HUGE labradoodle. As we approached, his owner took him to the other side of the road, and all of a sudden Luka began growling and barking. Mum told me later that this was the dog that had previously been spiteful to Luka. The barking carried on for a while which was highly embarrassing(silly Luka!). 
Second dog...
For a while, we saw no dogs, then when we got into Blue House Farm, we saw a beautiful young black Labrador running through the fields. He looked like the one on the left! As he approached, Luka watched eagerly and bounded towards him. They bonded for a while, and Luka even began to walk along with the other owner(I had to shout, "No Luka! I'm your owner, you're going the wrong way!") After we saw that dog, it was a while before we saw another doggie and we admired the scenery. In fact, it was very scary when we went up the river bank and realized the tide had come in! No fence, steep slopes either side and on your left you had a very high tide river! Not fun. We raced back down the hill nevertheless, laughing the whole way. 

Then we had the time to get some pictures of Luka but another dog came along. Once again, no barking, just friendly sniffing. The owners called her away swiftly though and I don't really know why?                                                                                        This is a look-alike of the 4th dog>>
But after all this we did get some good pictures of Luka, all wet from the puddles, all muddy from the fields and all happy from the dogs he'd met.  
Luka and Kath running towards me!


Luka - Dripping wet!
He got a good washing down after his walk, and then he had to be dried. Luka HATES being dried with a towel. He attacks it:D
That's it for now, but soon I'm hoping of blogging about Luka's personality, habits and facts about him! For now, bye:D
