Over the last few days I have been 'resting' my poor knee. I honestly thought I would have to go to hospital with it as it has been so painful. This evening, however, has seen some improvement and I can actually walk better (still can't drive as yet though).
My oldest son has been taking Ellie on her afternoon walks for me. On both occasions he has brought her home the 'back way', into the back yard. Now, when he does this I just KNOW she has been doing what she does best....rolling in stinky stuff! The first time she had rolled in a massive dead fish (we live 7 miles from the sea!). I reckon a seagull had 'dropped' his lunch! She totally stunk.....bath #1
Today it was a bloodied dead mouse.....bath #2. Now I say bath, but it is actually a bucket of warm water in the back yard, doggy shampoo and her very own flannel! Goodness, I am just glad there is much less chance of coming across dead animals (fish, mice, rabbits, birds) during the winter, as I think we would have to take her up to the bathroom (not keen!).
Recently Ellie seems to have only two behaviors/moods, both of which are highlighted here:
