A little late, as I didn't want to post 2 threads in one day.
On sunday, Man came to the stables with me to help muck out and put a tack box together for me (d'aw!).
I was tacking Ned up and Man said "Are dogs allowed on the yard?" I thought it was an odd comment, as he doesn't have a dog, but I thought he may mean Annie, so I said they were, so long as they're under perfect control. He then said "Oh, I think there's a loose dog!"
I look over the stable door and I see a stunning (if a little skinny) red setter wandering into the yard!
It looked absolutely terrified, cold and lost
It must have come along a very nasty stretch of road to get to us. Anyway, we managed to trap her in the front yard for a few mins, but she squeezed through a gap in the fence and took off down the road.
She was narrowly missed by two cars, who didn't even slow down!!
Man went to find her with a lunge line as I had to finish with Ned.
Hoorah! He got her
She obviously wasn't nasty and was just scared, once he had her she was as soppy as anything! We tried the RSPCA but couldn't get through.
I had completely forgotten that there was a kennel up the road, so Man took her there while I rode. He sooo wanted to keep her, as did I! I hope all goes well for her, I'm sure someone was missing her like mad.
