Queenie

Hello,
I’m Queenie the Labrador cross Golden Retriever.
Responsible for pack morale and health and safety.

Following you will find my Health and Safety rules.
It is curious I think that Bob appears rather more often than anyone else as a rule breaker …

Rule 1

The Pack has a run around stables housing 6 horsey things. In my capacity as health and safety representative let’s get one thing clear from the start - those things are dangerous at both ends and crafty in the middle (Ed: quote from Sherlock Holmes - Game of Shadows) and I give them a very wide berth.

My advice is for everyone else to do the same.

Rule 2

Loud noise is bad for your hearing so let’s try and keep it down. Spixie, Vino and Bob - that means you.

Rule 3

Jumping over or through fences can be dangerous. Look before you jump, Bob that means you.

Rule 4

Coughs and sneezes spread diseases. Let’s try not to cough in public. Catch It, Bin It, Kill It.

Rule 5

OK - this is serious - sexual harassment is a complete no-no. It’s not allowed in the workplace and it certainly isn’t allowed here. Bob, that means you.

Rule 6

Watching too much television is bad for your eyes. We need no more evidence of that than Bob.

Rule 7

If you go swimming in the river then you should have a bath afterwards. Muddy river water can play havoc with your skin.
On the other hand - if you have a roll in some fox poo you should also expect a bath.
You might think you smell wonderful but I can guarantee that your opinion will not be shared, Vino that means you.

Special Christmas Eating Rule

There is often a lot of food about over Christmas and new Year.
Turkey, vegetables, potatoes, gravy - good.
Chocolate, raisins (mince pies), turkey stuffing (onions) - bad.

Be careful what you eat and don’t overdo it.
