Waiting for Lunch

Today my leg has been at its worst yet, which forced a further visit to the doctor and an even larger dose of Morphine until I see the specialist tomorrow. Because of this I have not had much opportunity for taking photographs, however, while in the kitchen getting myself a sandwich for lunch I saw this rather relaxed Dougal looking intently into the undergrowth and staying absolutely still. Two minutes after this picture was taken he leapt into the undergrowth and returned with a small mouse, eating it where he had previously been laying. It was obviously tasty, (for him), but not sufficiently filling, as two minutes later he repeated the procedure obtaining a second course of another small mouse.

Earlier today he brought home a large mouse, which Florence ate, followed by a rabbit which they caught together and which was larger than Florence.


Mr GOG took the picture and dictated the words; Mrs GOG posted it, while Mr GOG was laying almost immobile on the bed.
