Anger Management Man is up and about early. He wanders along the lane having an animated conversation with himself. From what I hear on the village grapevine relations with the German billionaires builder seem to be worsening - again. Over the Easter weekend there has been some form of 'misunderstanding' . Easter Sunday visitors to the builder have parked their Hyundai 4x4 on Anger Management Mans lawn. A Krakatoa like eruption of passion ensued. It seems the volcano is still bubbling away.
By the time we make it to the river the family diva is in power on mode. She turns to find out why her companion is so slow. Angus gets the full on ' Hurry up ! There's a world out there ' look. For me it's just another morning walk. For her there are endless fields of soft grass , tideless seas and Olympian scents to explore. There is nothing like a dog for putting the world into the right perspective.
On our way down the hill we pass a sea of dandelions bursting into seed. Sophie discovers that if she charges through the field at high speed, head down, seeds will parachute upwards. How cool is that ?

We are off to Ohio this afternoon, and last night we delivered Charlie to the fellow who will be taking care of him while we are gone. We got in the habit of packing only after dog-departure when we realized that Cherry found the sight of suitcases enormously disturbing. Today, everything seems off-kilter - I guess I never realized that our morning routine was just as important to me as to Charlie. Your post reminds me.
Safe travels.
Thank you. Your comment box rendered me Unknown today for some reason. Nice new photo of Sophie!
Surely, it is recognised the world over that parking one's tanks on your neighbour's lawn is not conducive to harmonious relationships...
Nobby is eagerly awaiting his chance to explore the Scottish equivalent of "endless fields of soft grass, tideless seas and Olympian scents" once he gets his second and final vaccination later today. Although he will discover that our seas are not tideless, and heather is rougher on the paws than soft grass.
Cheers! Gail.

Any "delectables" in the roadside verges? What fun to barrel through a sea of dandelion heads, although few gardeners may object!
Inca is 12&1/2 years old now and starting to slow down, so I'm no longer having to huff and puff to keep up with her. Until I realised that it's not her age, but every scent has to be sniffed intently and then often returned to, as her human staggers on ahead!
She turns and looks at us like that, and I know I need to get moving, there is so much to do
I couldn't agree more about dogs putting the world into the right perspective. Especially this time of year!
