My owner arrived yesterday morning early.  I was put into the starvation paddock last night so I was very pleased to see her.

 No hanging about - straight to the gate

Stop taking the photos and let us out!

 It was silly game day.  My owner like to play this occasionally.  I can't see the point of it but I humour her to keep her happy.  We both stand behind a pole on the ground.  My owner puts one leg over the pole and I have to do the same without being asked.  Not rocket science, is it?

 We then stand there looking daft for a while until my owner decides to put her other leg over the pole , then I have to do the same.  I get a carrot if I do it properly so I shouldn't complain.

 Today, my owner decided to ride because it was a nice sunny day.  The woods are sometimes a bit scary when the light dapples.  Something could be hiding round every bush.

 Much better when the path opens up later on.  Although I always keep my ears pricked forward in case of prowling tigers.

 Here's the first river crossing.  My owner usually lets me stop here and have a paw and snorkel in the water.  I would stand and do this all day but she always moves me on eventually.  I have learned a little trick though.  When my owner asks me to move forward, I pretend I need a drink.  This used to work well but she doesn't seem to take much notice any more.

 Eventually we reached the shore of Loch Ness.

 Whoa - is that the Monster floating past?

 Better head on home.

 A quiet amble along the farm track

Then back to the yard.  Quite a nice morning.  See you all again next week.
