Another bovine one.
Taking my collieX through a load of fields in Wiltshire, for an explore. She was off-lead and obedient, staying close-by. Suddenly, I became aware of the sound of a stampede. Glancing around wildly, I caught sight of a bunch of friesians hoofing it directly towards us, in an excitable state. I ran towards the gate, heart sinking upon realising it was too far away to reach in time. But Lo! That conveniently pitched tent might take me out of their eye-line? Heart in mouth, I slipped out of view, around the other side. This ploy did work, but not in the way expected. As they slowed, sniffing, snorting and stomping all over it, my dog and I slipped gratefully away to the gate.
I guessed it was unoccupied, due to the lack of screams and newspaper headlines next day.
