Happy Birthday, Haggis (13)


How's this for a Barge-Dog? For all of the time the SB Cambria has been being rebuilt, one of the guys has had a dog with him while he works, and Dad's fellow volunteers have seen various dog evidence come and go. At one stage there was even what looked like a whelping box with cuddly toys, so whether the "dog" has actually been a pup at some stages, or perhaps a pregnant bitch, we do not know. Various cuddly toys have also come and gone and been ripped to bits, so they also see headless corpses or body-less heads lying in the sawdust. This little chap is fairly intact, all be it covered in wood chip and sawdust, but at least he'll know it's not just sawdust, it's Cambria's Somerset Oak and Iroqo wood!
Meanwhile, Happy Birthday Haggis, who is 13 today. Hard to believe he's been going on that long, Bless Him. I suspect Mum may be buying the usual pork ribs for a celebration, and as soon as Dad gets off the work conference call, we are off out for a walk, down to the Creek, currently depleted of all the usual barges, because it's the Swale Barge and Smack Race today - they are all out "playing"!
Happy Birthday, H-Man
