HUGELY untoward.


This morning starts with Sophie alerting the universe to the fact that something HUGELY untoward is afoot. To do this she employs the three tools in her armory -  the PON stare, body language and a high pitched and concrete shredding yelp. The young farm dog on the other side of the gate, who is the cause of this turmoil,  seems completely oblivious to the family divas protestations. The young dog is much more interested in a squirrel that's clambering up the Old Farmers oak tree. Faced with not being the centre of attention Sophie redoubles her efforts. 

The village wakes early. Young dog wanders off to his home in the farm beyond the crossroads unaware of the chaos he's created.

Incredible photos. That look on Sophie's face in the first one, and then the second one would be a very effective ad for the efficacy of titanium knees! I hope the rest of her days proceeds more peacefully.

If only Sophie could be reassured that she is always and every day the centre of global attention on this blog!

Poor Sophie! Inca says that before she dismisses the farm dog completely, check out if he's any good at chasing squirrels up trees!

But Sophie, cherie, you have the world at your paws right here! Such interlopers are no threat to you or the ROF, be assured of it! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

As I began reading, I heard similar, ear-piercing shrieks (although decibels higher) from the small cardigan welsh corgi who guards our home and yard....I agree with Lisa, the first photo is a real "catch."

The look on Sophie's face says it all!

Yes, the first photo is one of those "picture worth a thousand words" shots!
