Assessing......

Grandad!  Very showery day today.  When I went to the park on Sunday I heard from some fellow dog walkers that some travellers descended after I left, with a view to catching some poor doggies for baiting.  Since then it's taken any joy out of walking there, having to be alert to vans and strangers.  Richard was off today and so we went together but we were on the alert.  Think I may just start lead walking him around the block, less stressful.  Lucy was delightful this afternoon, lots of "talking" and smiling.  I got a few nice pictures..... have about 150 still to cull though!
