Autumn Walk

Lovely day for a walk. Dylan thought so too!

The girls kind of always wander off for a while when we start on a walk. Or at least, they do until I produce their most favourite toy ever, Snake!
I gave it Dylan originally, but when you get a Mollie running towards you, the self-preservation instinct kicks in and you throw it and back away quickly.

Kim’s not really allowed the toy so much, especially in the woods, but as she’s smarter and quicker to turn than the collies, sometimes she gets hold of it. And then she gets her snarkface on and bristles angrily when they approach. Dylan no longer tries to approach, he takes the herding option.

Eventually we reach the wide open plains of the golf course, and all the dogs ask “are you going to throw the damn toy or not?!” Some dogs, like Kim, ask it more than once.

You know Dylan and Mollie were totally going to mob me if I didn’t throw it.

As previously mentioned, Kim can break harder and turn tighter than Mollie or Dylan, so she can usually beat them to the toy, apart from when Mollie uses brute force to batter other dogs to the ground. Sometimes, however, she misses.

Dylan can carry the toy by sticking it to his tongue.
