It was a relatively calm morning, so I texted my friend, Monika, to see if she wanted to go on a dog-walk. The reply was yes so I drove over with Ted and Pepper.  We would walk around her croft.

Monika has two Shelties – Shetland Sheepdogs – a youngster called Harry as well as a senior dog called Copper.

My lot have met Copper and Harry but this was the first time we went on a proper walk all together.

And I lugged the big camera around with me so I could take some photos.

Harry was quite taken with Pepper.

I hope Harry was not learning any bad habits from my two.  Pepper had already left home this morning and had to be collected (oh, the shame).

Copper tended to do his own thing at the back.

These two were very funny together.  Harry was desperate to play and suddenly Pepper was a boring grown-up, a terrier on a mission determined to do terrier things.  Harry devotedly followed her everywhere while Pepper just ignored him.

Harry so wanted to play.

Ted was just happy to be somewhere new and enjoyed his walk very much, probably glad to have Pepper off his case.

We walked around Monika’s croft and ended up at the horses and ponies.

It was a good walk and someone is going to sleep well tonight.
