OK so I have a source of free bread!!
The bin behind the Bread Shop
Every Sunday when it is closed I go and raid the bins, last week I got 40 loaves of white bread 20 brown and assorted cream cakes, roll and buns.
All fresh, packaged, a few squished but basically nothing wrong with them.
I am not alone in my project, a number of people across the country have started doing this as a protest against the waste of food.
I cannot get at the bins behind the Supermarket as they lock the gates!!!
Anyway, this is why I was walking across the field with a rucksack full of bread.
This is the biggest rucksack in the world- I could live in this rucksack, only I would have trouble fitting the toilet in!!
It is FULL of bread and strapped to my back.
It weighs approx. 15kgs and I weigh, at the moment and thanks to all the free bread, about 40kg, so I am pretty well loaded.
Dogs are in a sit stay, as I have to unlock my field gate, they do this every day- I leave them in a sit stay, unlock the gate, call then to me then allow them through the gate.
They are about 20metres from me, not all that far.
Long story short, they decided yesterday NOT to do the sit stay.
Yesterday they decided they would give me a demonstration of how well they were now getting on and how they were NOT fighting.
This they did by hitting the backs of my legs locked together in joyful play.
I went straight up in the air- a sort of unpowered, horizontal, Hobbit space project.
For the record, should you ever need to know:-
1 Hobbit weighing approx 40kgs + one Rucksack full of bread weighing approx 15kgs, propelled by two Dobes, 35kgs each X 15-20 mph, will go about half a metre (that's 1ft 6ins to you) straight up, and then fall, very quickly, to earth.
I have whiplash in my neck and shoulders, concussion caused by hitting the back of my head on the ground in spite of the rucksack preventing the rest of my body so doing.
If you were to have a fall, I would NOT suggest bread as suitable padding to prevent injury.
:
I have bruises on the backs of both of my legs where the dogs hit me.
I have bruises on both my arms where they hit the floor.
The whole of my back is in spasm and my shoulders are, on and off, also in spasm.
Oh, this is FUN!!
I also have a VERY chastened Brown Dobe who spent the first night of her life NOT on the bed, last night.
We have decided that the problem is really that she has no respect for me.
Obviously I cannot be harsh with her, this is MY fault, BUT she has to get some respect and learn that SIT means sit, not lose interest and wander off , or talk her Aunty into having a game of whack the Hobbit!!
It hurts me too, (and not just physically) as I actually like her on the bed, but, from now on, there will just be the occasional night, by invitation only.
Otherwise she can sleep on the landing or downstairs in the chair, like her Aunty.
And today we start our "When I say sit I mean SIT" training!!!
It's crazy, here I am giving good sound advice to puppy owners,( that works, by the way!!) and they end up with better trained dogs than I have!!!
I'm not sure how this bitch became so spoiled, but the rules change TODAY.
It will be gentle, firm and humane, but it will happen.
I stopped riding because I could not afford a fall form a horse, and this fall has laid me up worse than if I had come off a horse!!!
Aaargh!! Who would be owned by a dog???
