We have a long walk by the river. The floods have swept the pontoons away. They're stuck on a sandbank alongside a small sail boat. A gentleman smoking a pipe is standing next to a man in matching camouflage trousers and jacket carrying a fishing rod. They are deep in conversation. The pipe smoker seems to be asking the fisherman how he can get out to his boat. There is much gesticulating.
The man in the camouflage outfit has a small pile of fish , presumably bait, by his feet. Sophie, usually cautious around people she doesn't know, suddenly darts across and swallows not one, not two, but three of the fish. This is done at super lightning speed. It is also done in complete silence. Neither man seems to be aware of the drama unfolding at their feet. That's fine by me. She is quickly 'encouraged' away.
The spring in Sophie's step tells you she is remarkably pleased with herself. Life just keeps on getting better and better.

Oh gosh - I hope there won't be "digestive issues" later in the day!! Our Goldie would have tried to do the same - and the consequences would have been dramatic!
After so many years of failing to catch
even a single minnow, Sophie must be delighted to have at last happened upon a successful fishing strategy!
She certainly does look pleased!
If this is the start of a run of good luck - minnows beware!

It really helps when the minnows are out of the water, right Sophie? Congrats on your stealth catch! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
And no one, besides you, noticed?? The Gods were with her!
Sophie snacks, a change from curly croissant ends
Well done Sophie!
Bravo, Sophie! Thinking back to the dead rodent recently delivered to the ROF kitchen, Sophie is clearly on a roll.
