Hello my friends. Colonel Rocky is still with us and he seems to have been quite preoccupied this week....I think he must be planning something...something hush-hush, on the QT and only for those in the know....
We are so glad to have Colonel Rocky with us...he's keeping us safe.

| ....Colonel Rocky likes to keep a low profile at all times....why let the enemy know where you are if you don't have to....using natural cover and available obstacles... |
 |
| He was keen to give Miss Lola some lessons in the fine art of camouflage.... |
 |
| ....but he thinks a few more practice sessions might be necessary... |
 |
| ...he was extremely vigilant at the perimeter of Border Terrier HQ... |
 |
| ...and he posted Lola as sentry in the tower.... |
 |
| ....he engaged in some serious tracking of potential intruders... |
 |
| ...and had to think very hard when calculating all the necessary contingencies for future invasions.... |
 |
| ....very hard indeed.... |
 |
| ....he took some time out to deliver a motivational speech to the troops.... |
 |
| ....Miss Lola tried to follow along..... |
 |
| "I do look likes I be no fret all da way over ere"...#RockySpeaks |
 |
| ..."But I haz ways of sneekin up on yoo"...#RockySpeaks |
 |
| ....he gave the typist lessons in the proper provisioning of an army on the march.... |
 |
| ...and the necessity of comfy quarters for hardworking troops... |
 |
| ...he allowed me to follow along on the exercises on Sunday.... |
 |
| ...and asked me to navigate..... |
 |
| ....which was hard to do whilst on the move...."Wait for me!!".... |
 |
| "Urry up my lad. Iz no time to looze"....#RockySpeaks |
 |
| ..."its a bit jungly this way Colonel. Lets try the fields...." |
 |
| ...better territory for free-roaming terrier commandos... |
 |
| ...enemy swan....best go round the other way.... |
 |
| ....we came into sight of the Ockley Windmill....a potential nest of spies.... |
 |
| "Haz to fink wot paff to take"...#RockySpeaks.... |
 |
| "takin this wun....keep up at da bak"... #RockySpeaks |
 |
| ...we came across large flocks of enemy sheep....and sneaked past.... |
 |
| ...Bridge Over the River Wey..... |
 |
| ...we paused to remember fallen comrades...poor Brandy, sister to @lucylooBT, passed OTRB this weekend and the Border Terrier HQ troops leave no fur behind.... |
 |
| ...what have the Romans ever done for terriers?.... |
 |
| ...Colonel Rocky was in charge of the first skirmishes.... |
 |
| ...but they turned out to be terrier-friendly sheep.... |
 |
| ....eventually Colonel Rocky lead his troops to the safety at the Inn on the Green at Ockley...(thanks to Intelligence Officer Milly at @doggiepubs)..."allow me to count chips furst...." |
 |
| ...and before night fell we were safely back in barracks and Surrey was again safe for terrier-kind... |

ReplyDeleteCol. Rocky seems like quite a fine fellow.
ReplyDeleteGreat dawg, Clapton...what a mission. You and Col. Rocky are so brave. I am glad you are keeping the area clear of enemies of all kind. Oh, and tell Lola to hide her whole self lest she get snagged by evil tree rats.
