17th January

Human was down in the dark again this morning. She had my breakfast with her and very very yummy it was too. I licked the bowl clean while she cleared the trough (and Rosies bucket) of ice. Then she left me in peace while she went off to clean the field.
Now usually when she brings me breakfast in the field that is it. Only not today. She decided we can go for a walk again. I was really embarrassed as all the dog walkers were out and lots of comments about how big a dog I am. Oh very funny I don't think. Today we went out the bottom gate and all the way to the end of the bridlepath. All of a sudden I heard something. I stood stock still and sure enough that bloomin' irish wolf hound came bounding through the hedge. Took one look at me and ran back to it's owner. Stupid or perhaps sensible dog.
On the way home we met soooooooo many dogs. Everyone put them on leads....very wise. I got lots of fuss of the humans which was nice. Soon we were going back through the bottom gate. Only human didn't take my headcollar off but asked me to walk up to the top gate before removing it. Odd I thought. I turned round when she went out the gate to go back to my grass and Rosie when human called me over. She only had a swede for me to say thankyou for being such a good girl. Nice. I like all veggy-bols but swedes are one of my favourites.
Off went human on her merry way to check on the boys. I do quite like this going for walks but just wish I looked a bit less like an overgrown hound on a lead.
