This morning I took Rick out for our usual early morning walk around the village. The air was distinctly chilly but the sun was shining. We headed down the lane towards Prospect House, a favourite route of mine because we rarely meet any other dog walkers or cars. There were rabbits darting from one side of the road to the other, disappearing into their burrows in the bramble covered banks, it was like a scene from Watership Down.
Rick ignores the rabbits. I suppose if they were riding bicycles he would give chase.
Kat went to the hospital on Tuesday and has been given the all clear to return to light duties at work next week. It will seem quiet here without her. She has a jigsaw of the world map to complete before she goes.

Rick will miss her (and the daytime TV) when she is gone. I try not to get into that habit but am watching the U.S. Open this week. Lucky rabbits that he didn't give chase!
ReplyDeleteKat and Rick are both into American comedy/drama shows.
DeleteHe seems to have made himself comfortable in that chair.
ReplyDeleteHe thinks it's a prime position to bark at the postman as he walks up the drive.
DeleteFunny that. Some dogs would go berserk at the sight of rabbits. When Kat is on light duties she should remember to turn the lights off at the switch before replacing defective bulbs.
ReplyDeleteLove that last photo - Rick does indeed look extremely comfortable in that chair!
ReplyDeleteI've always tried to dissuade any of our dogs from chasing rabbits - or cats - mostly a thankless task. No real problem with my latest girl, and for the last few mornings a neighbour's cat has walked up to Inca and practically rubbed noses with her! Now it seems as though it's waiting for us to appear. Duke used to chase them up trees!
He seems to have adopted that chair as his own.
DeleteI thought I read somewhere on this blog that Rick was not allowed on the furniture??
ReplyDeleteHe's not! But he's turning into a rebel.
DeleteRick's chair looks rather cluttered and like he is overhanging onto something else.
ReplyDeleteThere is a blanket and a cushion on the chair to dissuade him from getting up; it doesn't work.
DeleteYou could always buy him his own chair and his own TV - that might work!
