common ponies

there is a common where I walk Stella, at certain parts of the year travellers leave their ponies here. I think they're gorgeous but Stella thinks they're on her territory!

she had to put up with them today as i hadn't time to go anywhere else as had to be at my brother's this afternoon. this also miffed her as she usually comes with me but today had to stay at home as not only has my brother taken a wife he also got a step-cat! this is willow's first weekend being allowed out of the house & we were all concerned that introducing a big black labrador into the equation might cause her to run for the hills!
