My daughter and I took my boy round the block today ... it’s a lovely walk 6km with 2 woods to run about and sniff in and a decent amount of private road where he can go off the lead.
He had a fab time, lots of smells and things to chase. When we came to the last stretch along the private road Hannah persuaded me to leave him off the lead.
Mistake.
He went into my neighbour’s garden behind the sheds and took great delight in eating something large and flat. Hannah was convinced it was a toadstool. I wasn’t so sure as there aren’t so many around now and he had his naughty ‘look what I’ve got ... chase me’ face on.
Anyway, I resigned myself to a trip to the vets, especially as Hannah identified the toadstool as deadly nightshade.
But I messaged my friend too as his behaviour suggested he had ‘won’ something he shouldn’t have had!!
Turns out her hubby had put out whole meal bread and Stilton for the birds ...
What a boy! What a relief!
