I started the dog walk thinking we would drive to the beach and have a change of scene, but when Monster said he wanted to come too, I realised we should walk in the fields (as he is not his best in the car – ever the back seat driver).
So we all set off across the Ancients’ (big horses) field with the intention of checking the far gate to see if it was still shut.
And I felt sorry for Monster. He is not invisible and Kolka is always intrigued by him.
Monster turned tail and left in disgust. You can really feel it, can’t you? The total disgust.
I was going to leave Monster to go home on his own but in the end I walked back and called him away from his Nemesis. And all was going well, but a friend arrived with her dog, so all bets were off and Monster went home and we went on with the dog-walk, just without him.
After the walk, I made myself a well-deserved cup of coffee, and went to sit outside but I changed my mind, and decided we needed a family photo.
And like all family photos, it was never easy.
Ted, Ted, look at me…..
No. No, Ted at me and Pepper, look at me!
Still, Pepper, at me! (good boy Ted). Monster, a bit more enthusiasm, please.
Bingo! Sort of. Monster, had gone to sleep and so I gave up.
I booted the dogs off the garden seat and sat down next to Monster.
My view.
And then it started to drizzle so I went inside.
Anyone got a fishing rod and a little red pointy hat? Asking for a friend.
