I decided to take Maggie and Elsa down to one of the nice grass fields on the farm at the bottom of the road this afternoon as it such a lovely day. I rang my mother who came along with Nellie. We hadn't walked far when a neighbour came out of her house with her 8 month old collie cross and asked to join us. A bit farther and another neighbour joined us with her springer. By the time we got there we had quite a gathering of dogs all ready to play together. Couldn't have asked for a better socialisation group for Elsa. They are all lovely dogs and obedient. While they were running around the bigger dogs ran off over a bridge into the next field and Elsa was on her way to follow them. I whistled Maggie to come back at the same time as the others whistled their dogs. Elsa who thought the whistle was intended for her started running back to me but the others had all heard too and there was suddenly a stampede of dogs headed our way. They jumped over poor Elsa in a bid to get to us first! Great roll models for Elsa though who may have learnt she has to be quick if she wants her treat. She did get hers though albeit after the others)lol
Lovely picture of Brook and Evie on the dog of the day.
