Taking his chance

A cold and frosty morning made for a chilly-on-the-welly-clad feet walk with Bailey and Ringo on the field this morning. Bailey was granted release from his lead although he blotted his copybook somewhat when he almost went off with a lady and her collie - he is too sociable by half.  

Ringo would have liked to have had a swim but the cold, the reports of accidents on icy roads and various people's coughs put paid to that. In this shot he's looking wistfully at the front door and Bailey's taking full advantage by lying on his cushion and his blanket with one paw on his Santa toy, chewing on his antler. 

Back across to the west this afternoon having had a lovely Christmas extension and a good catch-up.
