cheekywe actually met (and Homer fell in love with) a gorgeous looking girl on the field the other day.. this stunning little furball came rushing towards us making this cute squeaking noise, her face was the double of my Shelby but oh my the hair.. to be honest I had thought that she was a labrador with a beautiful thick coat. Homer was smitten with this wee girl , shelby was with us and believe me it was difficult to tell them apart (I know shame on me) but I kid you not, this dog WAS for me a lab.. the guy sed she's seven years old, my shelby is nine. I commented that they could be related by looks alone (and I HATE it when ppl say that, but in this case it could have been true) he agreed with a chuckle and sed ohhh maybe they are at which point I told him that Shelby had been bred by me, then he told me his girl was a goldie/lab cross.. well you coulda blown me down with a feather. I was gobsmacked.. but she was gorgeous, and I could have happily bought her home with me.. lol even Homer thought so, wee horror completely ignored me when I sed time to go our seperate ways and he trundled off with the guy and his goldie mix hmmmp no amount of coaxing on my part would have Homer come back to me.. and I hate thiose ppl who holler after their dogs who are obviously not interested in a word their owner is saying.. so I walked off and left Homer gambolling with this cute wee lady , thinking that once he realises mom is gone he'll come bounding after me.
I spose the guy was thinking along the same lines too and carried on walking but ignoring Homer and his oblivion to me. lol.. I didnt mind really coz I knew Homer was having fun and the other dogs owner was happy for him to go walkies with them.. I caught site of them on the next field and beckoned to the guy to send Homer back. I saw him catch Homer's collar and give him an 'away' command, then Homer searched for me (I was waving my hands like mad lol) and the love came bounding back to me with his tongue hanging out.. all bright eyed and bushy tailed.
I spose what I SHOULD have done was call him once and go get him, like I tell everyone else to do.. but heyyy Homer was having fun with this wee lady. maybe she had just finished her season I didnt ask.. but anyway.. her owner took it on good humour.
