Mindy's Story

Hi Guys,

It's great now that I have got the hang of typing and so whilst the old git (Alf) is asleep - thought I would tell you more of my antics.

I have been a bit of a madam apparently since arriving here. I couldn't believe my luck when I came here. We have a paddock that we can run around in, chase pheasants and partridges, bunny rabbits and anything else that takes my fancy. Normally Alf - I can lunge at him from a great distance - but haven't mastered knocking him to the floor yet. He ends up pinning me to the floor by my throat and then walking off. We certainly have our moments.

Well I've chewed quite a lot of things since arriving, the most recent being the hosepipe. Last Friday my pinkies went to work and we were in our run as we are in the day when pinkies go out. Well I got a little bored so emptied Alf's kennel out and then decided that I would chew the hosepipe that goes into the box thing that reels itself in. Well I put my K9's through it and water was gushing out - we had to run for cover. By the time dad got home the run was 2" deep in water, Dad got soaked unlocking us and had to leave his clothes on the door step, Mum found found them when she got back and it was so cold they were frozen to the step - he wasn't happy. I had a right telling off because the electrics had fused as well. I don't do things by half. Well I stayed quiet for a couple of days and just followed wherever they went.

I did have a nice day yesterday though mum took us to Rosliston Forestry Centre where there are some nice walks where we don't have to get muddy. I had a picnic at a bench too. (picture attached). Pinky tried to get me to jump over these logs but I either went under or round but not over the top. I'm not a show horse. Mr Goody Goody went over them though. I thought he was too old but he jumped them no problem. I had another go and did 1 out of 6, I would have carried on but Pinky was exhausted by this time.

Anyway I'm off for some beauty sleep - hope to catch you all soon.
