Diesel's going on a summer holiday

Diesel is on holiday in the country with his "cousins" Rosie and Dylan.
Rosie and Dylan used to be Manchester dogs but now they have joined the Cheshire set.
Diesel used to live in the country but now he lives in a town.
The parks here are not like the park Diesel is used to.
Whoever cuts the grass here must be on holiday too.
When the grass is taller than you are it is a lot harder to run through and grass seed gets in your eyes.
Rosie and Dylan are used to flushing pheasants but Diesel doesn't often get the chance where he lives (though he has once).
Here there are a lot more pheasants hiding in the long grass.
Anthony makes Diesel,Rosie and Dylan sit and wait before they are allowed to flush pheasants.
He says it teaches them self control,they think he just likes to take photographs of them sitting together.
On Tuesday Diesel was pointing when Anthony told him to sit down with Rosie and Dylan so they could be taken off their leads.
Diesel was still pointing when Anthony was taking photographs of them sitting and waiting for the "Get on!" command.
When he was allowed to go,Diesel flushed a big pheasant only ten yards away from where he had been sitting.
Then he went back to Anthony when he was called,Rosie and Dylan don't always do that when they are hunting for pheasants.
Anthony was very proud of his big dog.
After flushing pheasants Anthony took Diesel,Rosie and Dylan to see some sheep.
They had to stay on the lead which was not much fun for them and Anthony did not enjoy getting three dogs on their leads over the stiles.
but they did meet two German shepherd dogs who were also doing some training.
The dogs were very good with the sheep,even when they were very close and when they started running.
After climbing over a tree which had fallen on a bridge Anthony let them off the lead to play in an empty field well away from the sheep.
On Wednesday Anthony,Diesel,Rosie and Dylan heard a commotion while at their secret swimming spot.
There was a lot of shouting and the dogs went to see what was going on.
Anthony called them back and Diesel and Rosie came back but Dylan did not.
He was busy barking at a big Japanese akita,who did not look very friendly,when Anthony found him.
Anthony was not very happy that Dylan did not come when he was called but the akita's owner had gotten hold of his dog before there was a fight.
It was his shouting they had heard,he knew there was going to be trouble when he saw his dog running away and had chased after him.
Later Anthony,Diesel,Rosie and Dylan met the German shepherds they had seen the day before (they do not meet many dogs out in the countryside).
The big dog was called Szandor and the small one was a puppy called Check,they were owned by a dog trainer.
Szandor is Dylan's proper name and he was most put out that he was not the only one,it is bad enough that there are lots of Dylans (and Rosies and Diesels too).
Thursday was not a very nice day,it rained a little,the dogs were tired.
They heard a lot of barking on the other side of a hedge then a big German Shepherd with a muzzle ran through a gap in the hedge and towards the dogs.
It did not seem to be aggressive and all of the dogs came to Anthony when he called them.
Later they all met the Japanese akita again,it's owner holds onto it with both arms when he sees another dog.
On the way down their new street Rosie and Dylan saw a farmer shearing sheep.
They never used to see that in Manchester.
One day Diesel,Rosie and Dylan will be as good with sheep as the farmer's collie.
