Sophie and Angus share a croissant in the back of the dog car then have a thirty minute walk round the shopping centre. The Mallards outside the electrical retailers are chased - noisily but inefficiently. To be Covid safe we go to the bakers 'Drive thru' window. The youngsters there are wearing masks - but below their noses. They maintain a cheerful and constant conversation with each other while dealing with our order. The Omicron variant has now arrived in France profonde - a daily total of 220,000 cases nation wide - and there's no doubting that a lot of folks are working from home as per government regulations. The bakers car park 95% empty.
The family diva frequently scores her curly croissant ends with a 12/10. I'd give this video a 15/10 :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea7PMbxxNKY

OMD, Sophie gets the carpark almost to herself, then Angus manages to capture a beagle moving faster than a speeding squirrel AND he finds that fabulous film of frolicsome fur-monsters to brighten a still dark Monday morning. Ta for all that!!! YAM xx
Thanks for today's video. A nice reminder that despite events of 2021 and uncertainty for 2022, dogs will always live in the moment and remind us to have fun every day with them.
What a wonderful capture of the leaping beagle.
Thank you for the video, definitely 15/10 - it's good to laugh on a miserable, damp Monday morning!
Sophie following the Beagles - what fun, but would she keep up?
The video is wonderful Angus, thank you for posting. Just what I needed today. :)
Croissant ends are always a 10 or better.
After the Beagle photo, there is not doubt about the quality of your new phone camera! And great catch. I especially liked the comment at the end of the video, after the credits.
The Omicron Variant is hitting hard here too. Two co-workers have tested positive, as have 3 of my friends. Two were supposed to travel, one to Iceland, and the other to see her family in Arizona.
I wonder if the dogs are Foxhounds? Believe it or not, okay, maybe you will, but a retired American Foxhound may be our next new addition this year. We'll see.
Happiest of New Year to all at the ROF!
Kim, I am jealous! When I was around 15, I worked at a stable that was raising two American foxhound puppies for the local foxhunt. They were the loveliest, goofiest dogs. The way it worked, members of the hunt would raise the puppies for six months, and then the hunt would decide which puppies made the cut and which did not. I've always wondered what happened to those that didn't pass. It sounds as though the dog you may acquire has been retired rather than being passed over.
Thanks for the dog video Angus. I wonder if you noticed the song in the background - it is a tear-jerker and reminded me of Bub and Wilfee (and all MY lost ones). Definitely worth looking up the lyrics and watching the video of the young writer singing it. Oak Trees, Daniel Nunnelee xo
