Sophie ignores the doocot man and the student but is completely nonplussed by the small black dog.
Finally small black dog defies gravity and leaps onto a stone wall. There it stands before deciding that it's time to fly off to some place that it calls home. This entire interlude is both brief and frenetic... and conducted in shocked silence. Sophie would love to leap up on the wall too but age and titanium knees make her think better of it.
She attempts to establish some form of canine communication but the small black dog shows no interest. It rolls on its back, hurtles off, returns, then hurtles away again. In between it charts an anti-clockwise circle around her followed seamlessly by a clockwise one.

A photo of the fossil millipede, please.
Nobby would find the small black dog the perfect playmate.
Intrigued to know what a doocot is, so asked Google. Seems it's a cross between a house for pigeons and a dovecote.
The little black dog looks a bit like a spaniel, so no wonder it has boundless energy. Poor Sophie - it would have been fun to play with.
Inca would ignore it completely these days, she too old for such larks!

As Coppa says, that is definitely a Cocker Spaniel and known for its incredible stamina... if it is a local farmer's dog, it may become a regular tease! I, too, would appreciate a piccie of the fossil footsteps... YAM xx
We've heard so many stories of Sophie's aloof response to other dogs, it's interesting that she tried to communicate with this one. He seems to have puppy energy?
I understand the reluctance to jump up on the wall, as we age dignity and discretion prevail.
My wall jumping days are over too. I hope your new friend visits again.
Anti-clockwise had me nonplussed for a moment. I knew what you meant but early a.m. couldn't remember its American English version. Ah, but ever faithful Google reminded me of the difference, confirming your anti-clockwise and our counter-clockwise. Sigh of relief.
Good girl for being so gracious Sophie. Merlin would have been furious!
