SHOCKING!

Mabel: I'm not having a great time. Sore paw means sore shoulder. Pam and Ewen have been very good cleaning and waxing my sore pad. Yesterday, they finally let me off the lead, as we walked round the Lauder boundaries. It was marvellous just to be able to take off and run.

Then I wandered over to a fence. I could smell deer and rabbit. Pulled my head back and got the shock of my life. Literally!!! It was an electric fence. Not going near them anymore. I was quite shaken up about it. Mum made it up to me by letting us have breakfast on the bed. Sheer luxury.

Morris: I have no idea what all the fuss was about. It happened to me once and you didn't hear me yapping on about it. I have enjoyed the walks and the smells recently. Yesterday, I was actually able to lie outside in the sun. It wasn't super warm but it was just great getting out into the fesh air. The toast was excellent too. Did enjoy "Petit Dejeuner sur Lit" as well. Can't knock it.
