Angus returns. There is an 'emotional' reunion. Sophie is delighted to have found the errant member of her flock. Proof positive she is a natural herder ( in her mind at least).
This morning the family diva and her master are down in the valley by seven. What should have been the perfect morning is slightly marred by the presence of a group of young and playful calves. The calves stare at Sophie and in return Sophie stares at the calves. We hurry back home with Angus carefully placed between the family diva and the young cows. A girl can never be too prudent when it comes to bovine neighbours.
There's time for a quick grooming before we head off to the bakers for a celebratory croissant. We are entering the dried seed head stage of the year. Dried seed heads and Sophie's fur attract each other like iron filings to a magnet.
I forgot to mention that on our start of the day tour of the village we stumbled across a group of village C-A-T-S asleep on the track by the village pond. I expect my companion to bark but she's so overcome by their audacity that she remains silent. This is a first.

Oh, dear, you've been spammed. But Sophie does indeed look very pleased to have you back. And I love the idea of the Be Kind program. For some reason, many Japanese children are flatly afraid of dogs and will even dodge away from Charlie, the world's friendliest puppy. This morning, we took Charlie with us to watch my son's running club practice, and I was so pleased when one father brought his very small boy over and encouraged him to pat the dog. The boy just giggled with delight, and I thought to myself what a great gift from that father - and now here is your link saying kind of the same thing.
The audacity of those calves and the village C-A-T-S - and you've only been away for a couple of nights, Angus! I dread to think how things will get out of hand when you and 'The Font' start travelling again, and Sophie has her little "holidays" at kennels!

...or perhaps Sophie was just so thrilled at having Angus back there was no energy left to direct at C-A-T-S... her world is back in balance. YAM xx
Dreaming of a getaway to San Pietro Hotel. A very long getaway.
She would do better with a flock of sheep, Bahh!
