Kim spent the whole walk on lead, as she&#8217;s still supposed to be taking it easy after her chiro treatment at the weekend. We only argued two or three hundred times, it&#8217;s ok. She was not happy with the bees either, but I&#8217;m actually glad she was on the lead as she does try and eat them. Bees are not so down with that.<\/p>\n<div class=\"center\">[singlepic id=131 w=320 h=240 float=center]<\/div>\n<p>The dogs were actually very well behaved; there is a lot of livestock at the edges of the valley, but all well protected by walls and solid gates, and we avoided almost all of it. Dylan did spend a while desperately trying to herd chickens through a fence (chickens are the only think he will actually try to herd anyway. Anything bigger than a chicken in worrying). We also avoided unexpected horses, even Mollie! Mollie doesn&#8217;t do livestock, she barks too much, but she just trotted alongside the horses for a while and then came back.*<\/p>\n<p>*<small>I should probably mention that the horses didn&#8217;t care, the riders didn&#8217;t care, and I didn&#8217;t <em>let<\/em> her do this.
