This morning I jumped out of bed, yelling at Demon to get ready as it was 815...actually I was so tired from two night of broken sleep that I had failed to spot it was actually 715. One child at school on time for once!! :D The cats were amazed how fast a human being held down by four cats can move...
I have this week off work, so at lunchtime I took Stella went for a walk at the quagmire. She was treated to a splash in the brook, but she was ever so slightly less than impressed. I'd say it had something to do with it being very cold judging by the glare thrown in my direction. Back in the field she met a couple of new dogs very briefly, then all hell let loose...the Labradoodles arrived. Boy Labradoodle charged around and Stella was in heaven. Girl Labradoodle, who doesn't normally go offlead was allowed to join in today. She ran up, got the ball... and legged it, with two dogs in hot pursuit. Stella didn't know who to chase first, which is a good job as she was so slow and far behind, they were coming back while she was still going.
Shortly after this happened, another German Shepherd turned up, and with a dog and two bitches to take a shine to...chose the boy dog... Girl Labradoodle doesn't particularly like that German Shepherd, no doubt being snubbed in favour of a boy has dented her pride a little, so she went back onlead. As the two male dogs stood shouting at each other, Girl Labradoodle stood still having her lead attached. Stella sneaked up, grabbed the ball and yanked it out of her mouth and was off, pretending she was clever.
As we headed home, she decided she was going to have a drink from the puddle. She stood on it, realised it was frozen, did an impression of Bambi on Ice, fell over...and then looked at me to see if I'd noticed. I think the giggling gave me away.
So, having established water freezes solid in cold weather...she went to the next puddle....and tried to paddle in it...
