Scout met her first sheep today. She (Scout) was quite excited – the sheep seemed quite contemptuous. But I would never have let her off leash had there not been a ditch and two barbed wire fences between them – in the UK, while they do love dogs, any dog that conducts sheep-worrying is in a lot of trouble. Some have been shot.
It was a lovely walk – no flying pasta, no dead seals. It seems my standard of what constitutes a nice dog walk has shifted since arriving here.
