Colonel Rocky is planning something

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....

....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...
We are so glad to have Colonel Rocky with us...he's keeping us safe.

  3. Great 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.

  9. Well, I don't know what you ever did without him! I hope Miss Lola is taking notes - I feel sure she's going to be presented with a test before long!
