This weekend the sun came out, while it was nice to see it was too much for Holly who, very sensibly, decided that in the shade was the best place to be.
But as it was nice and warm for a couple of days in a row the ground warmed up enough for Holly to be able to lie out without getting cold.
So yesterday evening I got the barbecue out. It's a new one that Holly has not seen before so she gave it a good sniff all over and then looked at me to see what I was going to do with the strange metal contraption. Her ears perked up pretty quickly when I brought the charcoal out and lit it and once dinner went on to cook she started to drool.
The patch of grass where she was waiting impatiently for her share of BBQ goodies got quite damp, but her patience and drooling paid off and she shared all the things that got cooked.
Later that evening when she fell asleep her dreams involved a lot of lip licking so I think she was dreaming of warm evenings in the garden with a never-ending supply of burgers, sausages and steaks.
