Dog related excitements
1) The Wandering Whippet
All this week, our village has been distracted by a mysteriously appearing whippet wandering the main road through the village, all the way from the pub all the way to our other main landmark, the postbox.

2) The Woeful Lurcher
I walked down to the river this evening. Such a wonderful evening, sun shining through the trees, the dogs were being so good, staying close and coming back to check in regularly.

Rosie decided to race about for fun, and Brythen joined her. They were having such fun. And then Rosie doubled back, Brythen tried to follow, ran into a tree and laid his shoulder open. Poor big lump, he was crying and crying. :-(
Fortunately, once he'd got over the first shock he was able to walk, more or less. I'm not sure I could have carried him up that slope. Even more fortunately, I was in the one tiny patch of the Tamar Valley that by some freak of mobile networking actually has a phone signal, so I was able to call Pp, who brought the car down as far as possible to pick us up.
