Tuckin' In

We've been taking daily trips to Chestnut House Hotel recently to get Polly used to getting walked on a lead.  It's much more interesting if you actually have somewhere to go.  Each day I show Polly her lead and she trots to the back gate and up comes the hoof to tap on it.  She waits patiently while I put her lead on and the three of us (Buffy, Polly and I) head off for our stroll.

Now this should only take me about 8 mins.  Picture this though.  Polly loves to eat, Buffy loves to sniff, and everybody seeing this strange spectacle loves to talk.  30 mins later we usually arrive at our destination.  If Lady J is there it's cup of T or gin and T depending on what time of day it is, if she isn't there we make ourselves at home in the garden.  Lady J's chooks have a bit of a mosey round outside their run, Polly checks out the veg patch and Buffy stares into the conservatory window where she knows the cat usually rests.  If the cat isn't there her food always is so either way, there's something in there that Buffy wants.

Polly is certainly getting used to this new place, she litterally stormed her way into the section of garden that she now considers to be hers.  She loves those veggies!

Today, when we were coming home there was a group of people doing a sponsored cycle and they were taking photos of their trip out.  What better photo to get than a lamb and a jack russell walking beside eachother on leads!  I'm hoping my head was out of the shot as it isn't one of my best days today!
