Windy? Strewth, I should say so. It's been blowing a gale here for the last two days. Seems like months because I don't like the wind, as you know...It's the way the the trees move about. Anyway, I've not been out in it much at all, trust me. Skye says even she's staying inside in case she gets blown away. Mind you, I'm not sure the wind is that strong....
Little Pie though doesn't seem to worry about much and she was off into the back field last night at about 5pm chasing rabbits, or whatever she does back there. As she left she said she'd be OK as she could run under the wind. Oh yeah....
6pm passed, no sign of her at supper time. 7pm, 8pm really windy now and pitch black, but still not sign of the little one, so they had to go out looking for her. They weren't best pleased by the sound of it, but fortunately they didn't need me - I'm always thankful for small mercies. It took hours and hours - at one point Daisy was worrying that they'd got lost in the dark, and who would look after us all now? She was complaining that we should have streetlights like they do in the towns, then Pie wouldn't have got lost in the first place. I soon put her right on that one though with one word - torches...I don't know how they work, but they're fantastic. You get daylight peeping out of the end of it, and just enough to to see where you're going.
Anyway, eventually at about midnight she was found, looking miserable. She reckons she would have been fine and was just hunting, but Skye reckons she'd got confused with the wind and dark and couldn't see where home was until she was fetched. Imagine that! Out all night, with no comfy bed to stretch out in, AND no supper either. She certainly tucked in well to her food once she was home, midnight or not.
We were all pleased to see her back safe and sound - little rascal. Hopefully she's learnt that she should stay in when it gets really windy. Like me.
Take care
