Latest new craze hits South Devon!

Well I guess it had to happen eventually but the new craze called "Bagging the Dog" has arrived in South Devon.  It is a fairly simple game really requiring only a wet/dirty dog and a large bag with a zip.  The point of the game is to get the dog into the bag without getting wet/dirty yourself.  Points are awarded for speed and style and deducted for the use of foul language.  The really clever part about this game is that when the dog is let out of the bag it is miraculously dry/clean.

Diane managed all this, without the benefit of a safety net, at the end of a New Years Eve trip to the Erme estuary with Digger and Sue.  Actually, Mr Digs did not seem to mind this new game too much although he did have to be restrained from jumping out of the car en bag when they got home. 

Our early exitement about this new game was slightly tempered yesterday, though, when Mr D got so wet and muddy on a new walk by the river at Ivybridge that he had to get hosed down in the bath when he got home despite having being "bagged" on the way home.  This lead to our first attempt at another new game called "trying to climb out of the the bath backwards whilst being hosed down from the front" but this one clearly needs a bit more practice.
