Her recall is normally excellent. Barring a particularly interesting smell or temptingly slow bunny she is straight back. Today she just disappeared. To begin with I was mildly irritated then slightly annoyed. Finally panic stricken as I had visions of her being snatched.
I was running (never a good thing) up and down the place I last saw her yelling her name but no Sage appeared.
When I turned around there she was behind me, head down, back end waggling and knowing full well she was a BAD GIRL!!
I couldn't tell her off I was so relieved she had turned up.
Dogs...who'd have 'em? :rolleyes:
 
She is a naughty girl!!:eek: Was she after a squirrel?:confused::rolleyes: Max has taken to patrolling the fence of the bottom field in an attempt to reduce the squirrel numbers - he chases them across the field banging them on the head with his paw......:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Go and lie down in a darkened room with a large G&T and have a heart attack in peace!:D:D:D

I am laughing at that image so hard I am actually weeping a little bit - when Henry is better we must do another Holkham trip:D:D
 
LOL - bad Sage :p Flick was the naughty one out of my lot today, she shot off after Amy in the woods today, Amy came back and Flick didnt :D Being white she is easy to spot luckily, I didnt have the heart to reprimand her when she did come back as her mouth was dripping with blood where she had bitten her own tongue!!!

She then excelled herself by chewing through yet another leather lead while I was mucking out and they were all tied up, I have been reminded that I was going to purchase lightweight benching chains for securing them on the yard :D

PS - what is the new RR going to be called? I love your names :D
 
Oh no!! Not spanglitis... I've heard it's incurable. :eek:

SU I could see no sign of squirrel but with my rotts you never know. :D

I will take you up on the darkened room but will have a couple of ice cold beers instead. :)

You have expensive dogs GH. Chewing through leater and their own body parts! :p

As for the next ridgey...well I still have to persuade OH. I also never name dogs until I have them as you get to see their character. Although I do like Indy as a name. :)
 
Tell me about it, luckily the lead was a cheapie one from Countrywide and the blood seemed to clear up quite quickly! Silly dog...

I like Indy, but know what you mean about the name having to be 'right' for the individual dog... I am sure (well, I really hope!) that you will persuade your OH before too long :)
 
I was all proud of myself for calling B off a cat earlier. He came, walked to heel for a few strides and then went 'Sod this, changed my mind, CAT MUST DIE!' and tanked off after it again.....
 
Gazehound tries to imagine calling Islay off the pursuit of a cat..........

Nope, sorry, it just cannot even be imagined, let alone experienced :D
 
**Spudlet recalls the embarrassing incident when Henry tree-d the yard cat**

No, can't see recall off a cat happening for us anytime soon:D
 
At least the yard cat had the intelligence to go up a tree Spudlet - I am remembering the occasion when Islay chased a cat all around the housing estate where I lived at the time :o:o And ended up catching it when the stupid cat tried to make a run for it out of the bushes it was safely hidden in :o

It was fine, thank god, but I was shaking for several hours afterwards :o:o
