All these active dogs and a bit of warmth has worn Arthur out.

Coop feels the same. So tired he decided to fall asleep heads up disguised as watching the sumo his food providers were watching. Nice try dude, you can't fool us!

Tough day at the office for Arthur

It be yesterday. A stressful day. Down The Pastures, on our morning walk, Peggy, investigating a hedge, flushed a dozen or so French Partridge. The call of the wild brought the shutters down and she disappeared after them. After searching for a couple of hours I returned home distraught and Peggyless. Bike gear on and back out on a bike.

I returned to the area, trying to think dog. Criss-crossing fields and land I shouldn't be on - nothing new there - but to no avail. Riding miles and miles in circles, clearly not succeeding with understanding dog logic. After another couple of hours I returned home a second time, exhausted...

10 hours later... Peggy puts in an appearance on FB, looking the worse for wear, a couple of miles away from where I last saw her. She'd only been found about 10 minutes before the post was made!

After speaking with the couple who very kindly apprehended her and took her to a local 24 hour vet. They brought her back after identifying her chip. I opened the back door of their car, Peggy struggled to sit up. I squatted down and a very lethargic, and smelly, Peggy licked my face and leant against me. I sobbed. I was shocked at how much I'd missed her.

She's slept most of today, is still feeling sorry for herself, and is very clingy. A huge relief...

I'm crying just reading that, we've had a similar experience in the past, I'm so glad everyone is safe and sound.

2 year old birthday family reunion for Dug! Four out of six of the litter.

Heard of Herding Cats? You should try getting four young mental Working Cocker Spaniels to stay still for more than a nanosecond.
