This morning was quite fun really. We all got out, the wind was strong with the gust almost taking me off my feet, but it was dry and I was dressed for the weather.
This afternoon the wind picked up further, it was forecast at up to 76 miles an hour here, and I think at times it probably was/is. Steve had already taken a tumble in the yard this morning, he blamed Orin for running past him too quickly, but I think the wind contributed to his fall. (Well it just can't be O's fault can it!😁) Loki fell in the hall trying to go backwards, but was up and out as soon as he could. After lunch everyone took their turn to go out for toilet breaks, and Steve decided he would deal with Zeus, but just stay in hall to wait for him to come back in, after all Zeus doesn't like wind and rain!
I was sat by the fire, laptop in hand. Orin was peaking out through the window, and Siska was quite chilled. I heard Steve voice in the distance and quickly put 2 and 2 together. Mr S hadn't check and the force of the wind had opened the gate and taken the full wheelie bin flying again ... Zeus was out!
Steve was already in his coat and said he'd get him in, but he could hardly stand in the yard let alone the field. Sammi and I went out, but failed to get him in, after some time I came storming in saying "he can just feck off for all I care." Leaving him out in 3 acres adjoining farm land is simply not sensible or possible. Steve went back out, bad idea, I couldn't risk that, even the rubber matting was flying about what chance did he have? I left Sammi in to keep her safe. After trying with his ball for a while, I opened the front door and gate and came into the house, he came in the garden but would not come into the house. I used Beti as a distraction and Steve had to circle round the cottage and close the gate. I then had to persuade Zeus to come in from the garden, it all took about 40 mins. We were wet, upset and battered. I said nothing to Zeus, what is the point? He's a fecking arsehole of a dog, I've never experienced anything like him, and I've owned 30 GSD's since 1991. I know I've said it before, but if he'd been my first, I'd have never had another .. rant over thank you for listening.
