Just a little post about a mystery…
We’re having such lovely weather, and now I’m back on my feet my crafty partner-in-crime and I decided we needed a little sea air, acompanied by Higgins, of course.
( Do you like his Super Hero car harness?)
So off to our usual patch of Norfolk coast, absolutely gorgeous and inexplicably for such a lovely day, almost deserted.
The tide was coming in, and exciting little pools were forming.
Suddenly from over the breakwater two little terriers came bustling along, joined by a short lead. Higgins was very pleased to meet them…
…but they were all on their own.
We spotted people walking along the dunes and assumed they were the dogs owners, but ten minutes later they had disappeared over the horizon, and the dogs were back with us. Then we spotted someone lying by the breakwater in the distance and thought ‘Ah, that’s it’ and carried on shell spotting. A few minutes after turning round however, there they were again, and we were worried to see that while one little dog was dashing along happily, the second dog looking completely exhausted, was being dragged.
At this point three women came strolling along with their their own dog and stopped to admire ‘our’ dogs. Once we’d explained they too became concerned so we had a look at their collars where we found three mobile numbers. Alas, only one phone between the five of us and no signal.
We pointed out the distant, recumbant figure and they decided to walk the dogs back that way to see if it was indeed the dogs owner, and failing that said that the dogs couldn’t possibly be left tired on the beach, with the tide coming in and if necessary they would take them home and contact the owners from there.
And that was how we left it. I’m sure it was all fine, they were obviously dog people like us. But how could it happen? I don’t take my eyes off Higgins when we are out. Was the person lying on the sand unwell? What happened next?
We’ll never know…

Intrigue and unbearable suspense! Penny – you have to find out what happened next!!!
Higgins is wearing a superhero belt-ma-bob..he can find out!
Oh wow, I am such a sucker for a post with cute dogs in it!
I love higgins so much, and those terriers are CUTE too! twins!
I’m sure they will be fine, just went off on a mission as some dogs tend to do if they get the chance!
I loved your post before on the books too… that book looks lovely, I read the first one from the library and it was a lovely book, so YAY for new books and ideas!
I’m glad I’ve found your blog, it is particularly appealing to me!
Lots of love from Alice and Raymond XXX
When things like that happen I feel as though I should take the little critters for myself because at least I would look after them properly. I do hope they found their way home – perhaps if the owner looks in at your blog just by a co-incidence you’ll get to know what eventually happened.
Oh! it’s like a novel with an ending that is not an ending.
They look like well cared for little dogs – so I hope the story had a happy ending.
Love the picture of Higgins in the water!

Poor little souls, I hope they found their way home! It does seem cruel to me to harness them together like that especially if one was finding it difficult to keep up with the other.
Higgins as handsome as ever! 🙂

Oh dear, I too hope this story has an happy ending. Higins reminds me of my little brown dashund , Jessie when I was little and living in South Africa. I think his name is fab and his little harness made me mile xox
Higgins, you are SO handsome. my seat belt in the car needs a badge like yours!
Hope the wee doggies are OK.

Oh no, a story without an end.
Hope they found their owners, good job they had collars with phone numbers.
Love the photo of Higgins with his Superman seat belt.
Oh Higgins! I love your superhero outfit! And what adventures you always seem to find. Thank you for keeping us all up to date. Such cute terriers, too. I’m glad you watched our for them.
Hello! I’m happy I found you and Higgins! You have a great blog! I shall go read more! Best wishes from Crete: Teje and Nero
