So the husband does a. Bit of 17th century battle reenactment which means our Spots need to be accustomed to crowds, bangs, smells and noise. Today we took Miss Lottie Lou to Nantwich to watch a parade and battle. It involved lots of people, which meant lots of legs to manoeuvre round, the sound of marching feet and drums, horses and cheering.
We had lunch in a pub, so more smells, including bacon, and people wanting to say hello. We were very strict with who and how hellos were done as we don’t want Lottie thinking she can say hello to everyone she meets.
Then we went to watch the battle. There was lots of different noises, bangs from the cannons and muskets, the rattling of pikes and swords, soldiers shouting, sings, chanting, and horses. Lottie took it all in her stride and even politely greeted another dog. She would have loved a bit of Beth’s milk shake, her begging eyes failed!
