Hello everyone! OK, well, I´m almost ashamed to say it....but as I was leaving the dreaded Hi-De-Hi of Butlins yesterday I suddenly heard all this excited shrieking! Had they recognized me at last?
No
But I had to investigate, being the curious little chap that I am. so off I trotted towards the sound and I saw the most amazing thing! A massive indoor pool, with all sorts of waterslide things and plants and hundreds of people splashing about on the waterslides looking as if they were having such fun! Well, what could I do? I had to see what all the excitement was about these slides. I sneaked into the changing rooms and there I found a nifty little rather sexy pair of Nike swimming trunks I tried them on and it´s as if they were made for me! Maybe they were!
I went out and I couldn´t resist it. I just had to try it, just one slide before I left. So I had to climb all these stairs and wait in a queue. Hmm, I thought, it had better be worth the wait, a dog of my social standing shouldn´t have to queue .
But I did. Of course. And then it was my turn. I took one look at this tunnel like entrance and suddenly I was scared. Not as bad as my mate Mikkel, he HATES water and he would have gone as fast as possible in the other direction. But I couldn´t do that even if I´d wanted to as there were about 10 squillion people behind me. They started to grumble and mutter a bit....so I did it. I went and jumped in this little tunnel. I started going faster and faster, it felt like a thousand miles an hour!
Round and round I went, twisting and turning and then suddenly I came out into daylight and there was an almighty SPLASH! as I landed in the pool.
Wow! What a trip! I got out and my little legs were like jelly. Then people started laughing and I realised I´d lost my trunks somewhere along the way!
Just then they landed in the pool too. Hmm, maybe not made for me then. But I had to have another go! In fact I had so many goes, because being small and having 4 legs makes me faster than the others at climbing all those steps. And I´m quite good at tripping up anyone who gets in my way.
But suddenly I got a familiar scent...I looked around...and there she was! MUM!
So THAT´S where she´d been all this time. I didn´t want her to see me, you understand, especially as I´m sure I was far better at this waterslide malarky than her, I didn´t want to make her feel silly. Which I suspect she would, mainly because she was the only ´adult´ waiting for her turn amongst hundreds of kids So I had one more go and then I quickly ran on my little jelly legs to put the trunks back. I didn´t think they´d been missed, well, put it this way, I hadn´t seen anyone naked trying to get into the pool
So then I got ready to say Bye-De-Bye to Butlins!
Bye-De-Bye for now!
