During our walks in the local forest Fergus has experienced a few firsts. Encounters with various animals like deer, hares and foxes, and his first snow falling from the sky.
He had naturally already experienced rain from a young age in our garden, and although he loves playing in water, he isn’t fond of rain. If it’s particularly heavy, he’d rather wait till it goes off than venture out in it.
Yet another first today with frozen rain falling from the sky as lumps of ice and battering off his head, he must be wondering what fresh hell is this! It was a cold day to begin with and fortunately he had his warm coat on, so that afforded him some protection, but his head was quite exposed.
We were just unlucky to be caught in it, as we were almost at the car when it started to fall. As you can see Fergus was not amused, sitting at first, but as it got worse he made for the cover of the car.
