A walk in the sun

at last!

Took Maggie out this afternoon, just me and her as Tilly has decided she doesn't want to come all the way anymore and keeps wondering back home half way round - she can get back into our back garden without having to go onto a road but not into the house and I still worry about her when she does this but I can't keep running back after her - she is so naughty and completely ignores me calling her. I know she knows the way home but not sure if I should 'drag' her out even if she doesn't want to as I want her to keep fit. Anyway had a lovely time with Maggie who still thoroughly enjoys her walks. (trying to get pictures up but won't let me - i'll try later)

Love the goat pictures Sophie. Have a funny story concerning a goat in Cornwall. I was on holiday there a good few years back now with a friend. We were walking across a field and think somehow managed to wonder off the footpath. We came across a goat tethered in the middle of a field. I felt sorry for it so stayed to pet it for a while, we were then joined by the farmer and owner of this goat who was very friendly and not at all cross that we had wondered onto his land. I asked him why the goat was tethered and he said "cos eh keeps eatin his way owt, he'll eat anythin' he will" with that my friend who wore a false tooth on a plate, laughed and his tooth fell out of his mouth which was promptly and fairly swiftly eaten by the goat! I laughed all the way home and most of the holiday over this much to the great annoyance of my friend!
