Oh yeah, Pat; Urr ..... Meet Dingo!

[Guest Ditch_Shitter]

I got up today and looked out the window to see a strange motor pulled in at the end of my track. Then, at 130 yards, I saw a strange bloke come round it. This guy started fiddling with the bit of fence tape I have up at that end. Put there to keep my donkey on the home acre, which is actually Pat's land.

 

So I've watched this guy for a bit. At that range I couldn't make out much about him. Then he turned and started walking down the track towards me, so I figured I'd better get my shoes on and figure out what to do with the Dogs, in case he was the rash sort and entered my compound to tap my door.

 

Time I was ready, the guy had disapeared. Motor was still there though. I didn't know what to make of it so just let the Dogs out anyway. They rushed, barking, down to the bottom fence and that's when I saw Pat walking along by the sheds. He'd obviously just been atending to something down in the paddock or his lower field. We started chatting as I followed the Dogs down, me reassuring Orange Dog that it was only Pat, and that she's insane, as I do

 

But le Ding there was no passifying. I guess, thinking about it, he's simply never met Pat before. And I've never seen Dingo Dog meet a potential 'prowler' before either. Nice! Le Ding, of course, looks All 'Shepherd'. Those who know a Mallinoise would suggest that might be the source of his appearence. Thankfully, Pat would never have heard of a Mal' and so wouldn't have feinted at the prospect of a possible one rushing towards him. But all the same, as le Ding rushed up and down inside the fence, shouting all kinds of abuse and threats at Pat, even as I calmly explained that he didn't need to and Pat was Good, I was aware that Pat was most definately very glad that fence was there. He didn't like those long, white, shiny teeth one bit.

 

Then Ding' did what Ding's extremely good at. He simply became airborne and sailed over that fence like it were a matchstick. Poor Pat's face was a picture! I swear to god I even heard the 'Snick!' of his spincture snapping shut! " " doesn't even begin to describe the way his eyes bulged as this sizable, incredibly lean, fit Dog suddenly materialised on His side of the fence!

 

Thankfully, Pat obviously knew more about animals than to allow himself to lose it, scream like a girl and start trying to out run this bugger. Instead he just stood, rooted to the spot as, for a few seconds which clearly seemed interminable to him, le Ding bounced around, standing on his back legs to get a better sniff at this new object of interest. Then I called him off and, satisfied, Ding Ding just hared off up the track to leap through the back hedge and come racing round the cottage to rejoin me. That's his favourite route. He's mad

 

So Pat and I got to finish our little conversation without further incident. He went on his way, about his business and I came in to get the kettle on. Then, as I sat down with my tea I realised I hadn't seen Dingo Dog and Rats for a bit. They'd obviously taken off on one of their safari's I took Orange Dog and set out to look for them. Right up to the river and back. No sign. F*kkers.

 

Then, as I came down the track towards where Pat's motor was parked (His wifes, I suppose) the pair of them came out of Pat's lower field to greet me. Fine. I'd checked all cattle and other 'stock within view and knew they hadn't been amongst those. Wonder what they were doing down there then?

 

And that's when I spotted Pat, mouching about, doing something down in his lower field. I couldn't help thinking; " Boy! What a good job le Ding had already met him, and they both now knew they were cool! ". Dingo Dog, due to the 'Shepherd in him somewhere, I suspect, has proven somewhat of a natural for a sort of - what the sports Dog people would call a - " Bark and Hold ". If he hadn't just met Pat in my presence, there's every liability I'd have found poor Pat, locked in his own field by one crazy Dog running rings round him and barking, thus preventing him from moving from that spot!

 

That reminds me; I really Must introduce le Ding to Noel some time!
