Here in hangs a tail . . . !

Or something! Clare and Tessa came over to play this afternoon and Ollie and I took them for a good long tiring-out type walk! Tessa has a much stronger killer instinct than Ollie and once she saw a rabbit she was away, whereas Ollie ambled along beside her just to see what was going to happen! She hunts by smell and always has her nose to the ground, but Ollie is more of a sight hound, albeit he has a wall eye and so his sight is a bit iffy!

They found some long dead rotting stinking seal carcase on the shore and had a good roll in it and then Ollie led Tessa off into the sea for a bit of a freshen up! On the way home Tessa hurtled off following a scent into the newly cut barley field. When Clare caught up with her she was dragging along the remains of a dead rabbit - twice the length of her. Yuck! She retrieved the tail from Tessa's jaws - and here it is! Love her expression of disdain!
