Also, Misty is obsessed with birds too
Hmmm, yes, birds...
Ducks are Bella's second fave and there are plenty on the local river at the moment. The other morning she disappeared for about 20mins - the edge of the river has lots of cow parsley etc so you can't see the dogs much once they're down there but it's fairly shallow at the moment. All I could hear was
"splish-sploosh, splish-SPLOOSH, SPLISH-SPLOOSH
[glimpse of Bella through the cow parsley legging it past in the middle of the river], splish-sploosh, quaaaack-quack-quack!!!, splish-sploosh, splish-SPLOOSH, SPLISH-SPLOOSH
[glimpse of Bella legging it back the other way], QUAAAAAACK-quack-quack!!"
Eventually she came out and I've never seen a soggier cocker in all my life but she was sooooo happy.
This morning they had a double whammy, ducks AND a squirrel - two very excited doggies....
