Deary me...
Just back from a mini-yomp (big yomps cancelled due to weather conditions
) and I was halfway up the hill behind our house that leads to the main forest track when Bella put her ears up and ran to the top, then stood and looked at something behind the tree line that I couldn't see.
Panic! (All GSD owners will know that ears-forward thing
)
I recall B in the meantime and put his lead on (we never normally meet anyone on this trail, ever!) and she was still stood stock still.
Called her in a silly voice twice, which she ignored, and then shot off behind the tree line, tail in the air.
MASSIVE PANIC!
So I pegged it up to the top of the hill to see the mighty midget helpfully rounding up a group of eight ramblers
Who were all very lovely and didn't mind a bit as I chased her in and out of their group and didn't laugh as I ran away in the opposite direction singing 'Bellabellabellabella!" as I tried to keep hold of B, who by this time was singing himself, (he doesn't like it when people walk away from him
)
In the end I had to yell 'will one of you grab her, please, you've got yourself a new dog!' and once they started that, she realise what side her bread was buttered on and came back.
To which I had to praise her through gritted teeth and shout lots of sorries, thank-yous and Happy New Years to the lovely rambly people who did not seem to mind being molested by a little GSD.
The next time I post about recall and dogs on leads, remind me of this
