Water hole

It was blowing a hoolie again today and I confess i found it very exhilarating to be out in it so had a really good long walk with the dogs - much to their delight. There were quite a few groups of walkers out too and it did cross my mind to wonder where they had been during the snow, wind and rain!! Anyway it was good to see folk enjoying the day.

As I was on my way back to the car the two dogs darted off to the side and I guessed they had found something to chase. A little while later, as I was calling them in on the whistle, a couple passed me with their dog on the lead to say they had just seen a deer close by and I realised that this was probably where my two had disappeared to. They finally came back, pink tongues hanging out, with grins all over their faces. They eagerly accepted a little treat and then darted off again, this time to the bole of a tree where they remembered that water sometimes lay hidden . They were in luck and the pair of them sank to the ground, heads into the tree as they sated their thirst.
