The prefects Thor, Fergus and Nelly enjoyed Woof + Whistle’s 13th monthly school trip, this time to Henley on Thames. It was a bleak start with a bit of drizzle, and a whole lot of ominous clouds. All the dogs trotted along the towpath right next to the river and Nelly fell in straight away. She is such a liquid noodle that she rolled right over some fox poo and plopped into the water! Luckily Alice was there to graciously fish her out, and Nelly wasn’t the slighted bit phased, cantering off to join Thor and Fergus.

There were lots of rowers to watch, with boats constantly going up and down the river. The troop walked down to Mill End, then back down into town. Fergus especially enjoyed seeing civilisation! The dogs found an inlet with about a foot of water which looked perfect to swim in. Thor and Fergus ummed and ahhed for a long time about taking a dip, eventually deciding it was to great a risk to take!

All three were on their most excellent behaviour, and loved saying hello to all the towny doggies on their afternoon walk.
