Monday 17th September 2012.
Bradley back again, so soon you say!. Well you'd think I would have a quiet time but not if my folks get their way!.
Today we all set off into town, safe enough I thought as the harness went on again. The walk started well and then we stopped in a shelter type thing. It wasn't raining and Dad was fumbling about for change and mumbling about charging me half fares. What's a fare?. I thought the folks must be tired to stop in this shelter as they sat down with some other people that joined us all looking at their watches. Then this blinking great bus stopped by us with a kink in it.. It was huge and had about four sets of doors that immediately opened. The bus was clever as it tilted towards us to let some people off and then I felt my harness tighten… OH NO surely we are not getting on that. I tugged towards the pavement in the direction I thought town was in but it was no good and in no time I'm on this thing under the seats looking at all sorts of legs and shoes.
I tried not to shake too much and 15 minutes later we stopped and once again I made a bolt for the door, exiting at speed with Dad nearly falling out into this huge bus station to everyones amazement!. I got lots of praise so I must have done something good.
We had a great time in Luzern looking around the town and me picking up a few tasty bits from various coffee stops. Dad then made a beeline to these big historic ramparts that surrounded the back of the town but had a large flight of steps leading up to them with grass everywhere. Like is often seen in Swiss towns there are farms and grazing cattle everywhere on massive green areas and fenced off with wired fencing that clicks. I knew I was going to be let off to stretch my legs on all this grass but Mum was concerned about something electric. I heard Dad say that 'its ok its switched off' and off I went charging about like spaniels do wondering what he meant. The next thing that happened to me was yet another 'out of doggy experience' as I touched this small thin wire fence. It was like something had kicked me with a size ten shoe right on the nose!. I shot backwards howling and screaming like a banshee that was due to invade the next country. I must have cleared 20 feet in 2 seconds and for a while hadn't a clue where I was or which world I was in. There may have been a slight smell of burning but the blue sky came back quickly with Mum & Dad running towards me. I was fine but had to check my tackle, make a few sniffs and put out a love puff to make sure everything was there. Dad was so apologetic and said it was completely his fault that he didn't check that the electric fence to keep the cows in was actually on!.
We sat down yet again whilst I regained my composure and the rest of the afternoon was spent with me getting whatever I wanted… yes!..
We had a great day really and are nearly at the Austrian border, I wonder what lies inside that country for me?..
Lots of licks to everyone!
