Landing

Landing as I did today with the unusual scenario of large paws in the mist and gloom banging onto my shoulders. Turning round I saw eye to eye a Boxer  with a harness on that now in hindsight probably hadn't' ever been used. There was no owner of said harness in sight! You know at this point I thought, this could have been me but ...it wasn't. The owner then appeared apologising with meanwhile in the bad weather I was missing shots ... With her saying.  'Yes I should put her on a lead'  - well yes - over 10 minutes . I had owls and I had dog. Keeping calm but spitting bullets. I never uttered a cross word to her but really wondered why she would a) have a dog like that and b) why she didn't just for a few minutes attach her lead on. That became very clear when she tried to do that and she couldn't. I offered help.

Wiping myself down from said foray with the rain having come in I moseyed  back and so did my owl. Swings and roundabouts.
