The Good The Bad and the Ugly

The good - it has been another beautiful sunny day and my garden is full of daffodils
It was windy this morning and I was tired and lacklustre, but I wanted to take Anky out again to reinforce yesterday's work. So, off we went, she was VERY jumpy and spooky , we had a couple of circles, but all in all she was ok. We crossed the road no problems, she was still willing to go forward. I couldn't face the thought of the shetlands, so I took her around a little lake nearby, which is basically a circular route which brought us back to the road. She was on her toes, felt like the proverbial coiled spring, but listening to me. She felt very much underneath me, very active. I had to be very quiet and light with my aids as her reactions were over the top. Anyway she started to relax on the way back and came home still jumpy, but calmer than we set out.

The bad - she spooked at a flapping silage wrapper, spun around and back at me and headbutted me in the face!!

and the ugly - the red and purple bruise that is sitting on my cheekbone!!
