A walk with the Dogs

My horoscope warned me not to travel today.

So what did I do ,decided I would take the dogs for a walk. After a quick trip to the Co-op a mere 13 miles away we stop at the forest walk at Aros , Portree. No one else was about so I let the dogs off the lead for a good run. No problem. We got to the top of the hill and the path had been blocked by fallen trees, not little saplings, no, big ones that you could not get over or around apart from that going deep into the primeval forest where there were more fallen trees and slippery slopes. I eventually found my way back to the path about 50 yards beyond a bit dirty but "alive" . The dogs suddenly discovered me as if it had been a game of "hide and seek". No more problems , so I thought!

At the bottom of the hill Skye found his favourite watering hole, went in for a dip and Ollie followed . Fine. Then Ollie decided to follow his fetish of trying frantically to dig big rocks up and would not come out. So I then slithered down the muddy bank to get his lead on, half way up he pulls me back down and we land in a heap at the bottom. Skye by this time thought we were having a game so charged in to join the fun nearly knocking my glasses off. After dragging Ollie back up the slope we got back to the car . Then the dog guard fell down and I ended up with one muddy Golden Retriever on the back seat breathing down my neck. and one naughty Ollie pinned down by the Dog Guard fast asleep. We arrived home safely albeit a little frazzled!

Moral of this story is: take heed of your Horoscope.
