As I walked the three Galupy dogs this morning, I was just thinking how nice it was that I hadn't seen another person at all - it was early, windy, and a little rainy and nobody else was apparently stupid enough to be out. The two trustee Galupy dogs were off their leads so at one point as I walked along a hillside ridge I did a count to make sure they were all there ... one, two, three (still on the lead - an easy one), hearing jangling dog tags behind me looked back, four. FOUR!
What the bleep!
Somehow I had picked up a spangle who was bouncing along behind me in perfect formation with the Galupy hounds and myself. My first thought was thank goodness I live nowhere close to anyone in AAD after declaring I had no spangles. My second thought was what the heck is a spangle doing out here - they aren't found in big numbers in this area. My next thought was how on earth had a spangle, of all breeds, managed to creep up on us without my dog-hating beagle noticing ... My final thought was "what the heck am I going to do with a spangle!"
Noticing said spangle, Willie then turned into one by running in circles and bouncing in sync with the spangle and generally portraying all sorts of spangle traits that show that some form of spangle might be lurking in his lineage after all. Then I heard the world-wide familiar tones of a spangle owner calling her spangle back to her in a desperate "where has he gone now" tone.
Spangle decided to run off somewhere else (NOT in the direction of his owners voice I may hasten to add 
) and Willie attempted to follow obviously thinking that life might be better if he was allowed to embrace his inner spangle self freely. Luckily his inner spangle self is also greedy and he came readily back when I produced one of his favorite treats and he stayed with us after all. I didn't see the spangle again although I do give it credit for staying well away from my dog-hating beagle.
There is no real point to this post except to say phew, what a close shave! I almost became an accidental spangle owner ...
