What a day!!!!!!!!! Never want to experience this again....
Thursday morning saw Jack, Stan and I all go off to my first job of the day down near Pilling. I look after a friends horses twice a week This is a picture of Stan in 'work' mode....waiting for any mice that may want to put in an appearance. Thursday afternoon I went out massaging and then teaching at Ribby Hall Equestrian Centre. When I got home I put the jackets on the boyz although Stan hates his and went to bring the horses in. As I walked up the field I realised that Millie look a little odd and on further investigation realised that she had her off fore stuck in the gate to the babies field shelter. I was unable to free her so rang Peter to ask him if he could come home. Luckily the babies haynets were ready in the field shelter so I gave the three girls a pile each to keep them happy and Millie quiet. I massaged her leg and shoulder while I was standing with her but she was very calm about it all.
I then shouted for the boyz but only Jack appeared......I noticed a car stopping on the road over our wall and heard Jack woofing but no Stan.......Panic started to set in and I left the girls munching and ran to the gate but I was too late and the car had gone and so had Stan. I ran round screaming for him but he did not appear and then Peter turned up and thought Millie must have broken her leg or something as I was so hysterical by this point that I could barely speak. He went to save Millie whilst I ran up and down the round shouting for Stan. We put the horses in the barn and just left them in which ever stable they ended up in, which they thought was great, Millie was a little lame but ok.
I told Peter about the car stopping and we thought that we had seen the last of Stan......I was completely beside myself when Ros arrived to say that a lady had just rung the pub to say that she had picked a little dog up and did anyone know who it belonged to. Ros downed her drink in one and raced over as she knew I would be completely frantic by now to give us the number of the lady. Peter rang the lady up and she brought Stan back........I was a mess all night when I thought about what might have been. Stan was completely non plussed and thought he'd been on an adventure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He now has flashing lights round his neck and I am paranoid about where he is at all times of the day!!!!!!
