I'm glad she came out safely though - that can be a real worry.

Am sorry your husband had a scare and hope you are both ok too x

Know how you feel as Parker took off after a horse last week. We had walked in the same field for the last 7 years without this happening and then he takes it into his head to chase one! Fortunately he did come back when called.

We suspect that our little JRT that we brought home from DT this time last year had possibly been lost after going down a hole When he was found, in Ireland, it took three baths to reveal that he was mainly white, and his ears were chock full of dirt. Also he was skeletal poor thing. Nobody claimed him, so he was shipped over to Evesham which is where we spotted him. He has never acted like a dog that was ill treated, so possibly for his first 10 or however many years of his life he was loved and cared for.
Whatever, we would never let him off his fishing line lead when out on walks - he is obsessed with holes and with digging!!

Glad Parker came back unscathed.

Glad to hear she came out unscathed!
I call her Pepsi the Terrier terrorist.
