I took Mr N Frosty out for a pootle over the lunchtime. A couple were out
walking their collie which was unleashed. I approached with caution. Thankfully
said collie was very well behaved, staying sat on the verge as told to by its
owner, but with a distinct look of "WTF??" on its canine face. Later in the
route is a lane on which is often found an old dog, some sort of terrier, which
lies smack bang in the middle of the tarmac. When approaching on my normal bike
or in a car, the dog gets up and strolls to the verge, waits until you've
passed & then resumes its spot in the middle of the tarmac. Go figure, but it's
old, it's still alive, so it must have success in avoiding being run over.
Today was the first time it was there when I've been on the 'bent. It spotted
me - it sat up, it wagged its tail, it wagged its tail so hard it went into a
full body wagging session, and it ran towards me. So I stopped, wondering what
was coming next; friend or foe. It got to me, wagged like mad, licked my hand,
barked *happily* and promptly rolled over for a tummy scratch. It does not do
this when I'm on my upright!

Cheers, helen s
