This was definitely not one of Mollys best days. Although she is perfectly well aware of what "Here" means, she has been getting worse at coming when she is called unless it happens to suit her at the time. She can also jump the garden wall now whenever she wants which does not help.
Until she gets a bit better trained I had decided to keep her on a lead unless she is down on the beach having a run. I think that we will have to go to dog training classes the week after next.
Duncan the builder came up because they had a minor problem with the extension so Pam let Molly out to see him. Molly then promptly legged it up to the top of the hill at the back of the house and totally ignored everyone. Fortunately Mr Scott from the farm up the road saw her and she came to him because she is friendly and likes to meet people. At least she likes to meet people who she thinks will not catch her. In this case she made a mistake and was caught.
I will have to get our fields better fenced so that she can not escape until she has learned to come when she is called.
Earlier in the day we had noticed the builders standing around, scratching their heads and moving bits if string backwards and forwards. We thought "don't interfere" but it looked as though they had a problem with the levels or something similar. Finally they came to get us and explained that the existing house was not square so if they built the extension square as in the drawings then the house would look odd from the outside.
As we have very rarely lived in a modern house which is square then this is not a problem. We agreed that they would make the far end of the extension 8 inches narrower and then it should look OK from the outside and Duncan can make the roof joists to fit and modify the cupboards inside so there should be no trouble. Everybody Happy. VG Tick
