Posting days: Sunday and Wednesday and, sometimes, maybe, extra ‘news flashes’!

Wednesday January 20th 2016

Last Friday it stopped raining and Kings Heath Park was transformed.

Pyrenean Mountain dogs expect this kind of thing of course, and remain very calm.

Portugese Podengos are less savvy, inclined to panic a little.

and may even become over-wrought.

This morning, the frost is even harder so Isis enjoys ninety minutes in the park: forty-five theoretically walking ‘properly’ with Rufus, Nancy and Conchobhar and forty-five rushing around on the big field hunting and finding her green dumbbell prey.

Tonight, though most of the frost has gone, it’s still very cold under paw. Isis has a dilemma. One likes to lie flat on one’s stomach to attack one’s prey. But it’s very cold ……. ……..

Clearly, a compromise is required.

Isis came from the Aeza cat and dog rescue and adoption centre in Aljezur, Portugal. For information about adopting an animal from the centre, contact kerry@aeza.org or  www.dogwatchuk.co.uk
