Dog things

Wednesday 5th December.

Hunting deer with guns is up on Saturday and we will all be very relieved, however, so far, we have had no incidents with hunters so that is good.

Ranger has fully recovered from his porcupine encounter and all I can hope for is he learned a harsh lesson. The rest of the dog family are well and look so funny when they are out in their brightly coloured coats.

I spotted blood on the floor this morning so someone is coming into season, I suspect It could be either Motsi(her first) or Lela. Either way, the timings are good for me as If it is Lela and I do mate her It will not coincide with my trip to crufts.

We have had significant snowfall over the last few days so the dogs are getting good strong exercise and that includes me. Walking in deep snow is such a good aerobic exercise and what with lugging bales of hay around I really do not need to go to the gym.

The dogs will not be happy tonight as I have had a slate floor put down in the kitchen today and indoors will be strictly out of bounds to them.
