Our dog Bailey, may be utterly gorgeous, cute and loveable but he’s certainly no Border Collie - in fact he’s as thick as pudding and has the attention span of a gnat!!
He hates cats and in his younger days, would have chased them until he had not a single breath left in his body. He’s now a lot older, but I’m sad to say, not much wiser!
I came downstairs this morning, opened the back door and out he ran into the garden. A couple of minutes later I looked through the window, only to see this huge black cat hurtling across the lawn like a nuclear guided missile! ‘Oh no’ I thought, ‘Bailey must be chasing him’. A few seconds later, nothing, no dog chasing the cat! I looked in his basket, and he wasn’t there, so he must still be out in the garden. And indeed he was – totally oblivious to the cat he’d just missed!!
The cat had escaped and was now sitting on top of the shed and continued to sit there for about 5 minutes before dear ‘old gormless’ noticed it. Bailey, then being Mr Hardman of the back garden, decided to show off his territorial side by giving a firm bark at the cat – one single bark! He then promptly ran back into the house and hopped into his nice warm basket!
