Now that the weather is getting better, we can spend more time outside. On 16th April 2006, Gemma and I took Ian and Julie down to some dog-friendly open space so that we could try out one of our Christmas presents - a tunnel!
Now you and I know that tunnels are usually underground, through mountains or whatever. It is generally accepted that tunnels above ground are bridges! But Ian wasn't about to bury our new present, so we had a great time running through our brunnel - also known as a tidge!
Unlike human tunnels, this brunnel had a light at both ends of it. However, I could only ever see the light at the end opposite to the end at which I had entered. At one stage, I turned round half way through the brunnel but, although I could then see light at the end at which I had entered the brunnel, I found that the light at the end opposite where the light now was suddenly disappeared. So I suppose there is some truth in that human saying after all! Here are a few photos of our adventure!
Gemma - "Phew - made it! But wait! This end looks identically similar to the end I just left!"
Woody - "I'll just watch Gemma go through first to see where the other end is before I take any unnecessary risks!"
Woody - "Good plan! Run through the brunnel as fast as my little legs will take me, then hard left turn (never mind the skid marks!) and do it all again!"
Gemma - "Left? But surely that's not right!?"
Gemma - "And for my next trick, I shall go through backwards!"
Woody - "Thank goodness for cameras that lie!"
Gemma - "You're supposed to stick your head in and your tail out so that humans say 'Look! What a lonnnnggggg Westie'!"
Woody - "Trick photography? We Westies got the trick right! But the photography is way out!"
Woody and Gemma - "Get a different photographer!"
At least Gemma now understands that tunnels and brunnels are supposed to have a hole at each end! Remember this incident, when she met a bucket as a puppy? That is, when Gemma was a puppy, not the bucket!
