There is one thing that all Muleteer HQ inhabitants share..... a love of food! Imagine my despair when I looked over the fence and saw what those naughty puppyteers were up to! They had spied the juicy blackcurrants all ready for picking...
FH had picked a lovely box full of blackcurrants and that naughty puppy was trying to help himself! Well FH spied him and soon put a stop to it.....
Blackcurrants are not suitable food for dogs.... they are much more appropriate for herbivores.... like Mini Mules!
Hmmmm try telling that to the Pocket Sized Labrador.
The PSL has had many years of perfecting his fruit picking technique, he is a successful picker of apples, blackcurrants, blackberries and well anything that he views as edible (which is most things, he is a Labrador after all). He dived right in to the blackcurrant bush once FH had picked what she wanted..... a few unripe berries or slightly squishy ones? Delightful if you're the PSL!
And then..... can you believe it? He decided to teach the puppy the skills too, apparently it's important to pass on these techniques to the next generation of fruit picking connoisseurs. Hmmmmm me thinks that PSL might regret this, Milo can reach rather higher than he can these days!
The blackcurrant bush provided plenty for all, nearly two kilos for the humans, scraps for the dogs (and entertainment!) and I even got to taste some berries too, mmmm :-)
I was not to be outdone by those pups though, anything they can do I can do better!
Attention FH this berry picker is ready for action, let us go searching!
I spy with my little eye something beginning with 'S'
Look! Some wild strawberries, these are my favourite! They're all hidden away in the hedgerow like perfect little jewels. Much smaller than the ones you humans normally eat but so much tastier, all in a tiny package, they say good things come in small packages..... I'm sure they're right ;-)
They're a little hard to get to.... could you oblige please FH? Yummy!
What's that I see? Surely humans don't like strawberries too? I'm sure they're not good for you.... only good for mini mules in need of extra condition (stop giggling FH).
Only one thing for it. I'm going in. Berry picking lips at the ready, time for 'Pick Your Own'.
Do you know, I think strawberries may be my new favourite thing.... mmmm, maybe I could find a full time fruit picking job, I'd be very dedicated!
Have a Berry Nice Weekend All!
