White side

Most recent Gus blips have been with his eye on the photographer, willing me to stop faffing about and keep walking. Today he's in the grass, showing the white side of his face, alert and focussed somewhere else. Of course, he is a sheepdog who has no interest in sheep (thankfully), so his focus is on another dog with a ball - guaranteed to bring out the herding instinct.

It was a day that was both grey and cold. There was supposed to be sunshine in the morning, but the only sun I saw was at dawn for just a few minutes before it was lost in cloud.

We didn't stray too far from home. The Xmas decorations are out of the loft, Wifie has made another Christmas cake, the wood burning stove is lit, and Gus is asleep in front of it. A perfect Winter's night.
