Whiffler, understandably, took a long time to settle last night, and was not up to climbing the stairs. As a consequence, both he and 30% spent the night in the living room. I was informed that, at one point, 30% was sharing the sofa with both Whiffler and TB!
I woke early and took over dog care duties and can report that he seems to be recovering well after the operation and anaesthesia. 30% retired to her bedroom for a couple of hours to catch up on some sleep.
This morning I headed out for a walk with Hobson and TB. Our outward leg was down the lane, and we returned across the fields. We had another close encounter with the Fallow deer, and, again, TB needed to be gently persuaded to duck under the stile. I'm quite puzzled about his lack of comprehension. Hobson nips under it without a thought, but TB just looks at it, like I am expecting him to climb over the top like a person.
In the afternoon I headed out to the carport with brush and can, and applied a coat of oil to the second gate. I can now report that they both need one more coat before they can be hung.
I omitted my usual weather report, so I should mention that it was bloody chilly today. I needed a coat to keep me comfortable while I was attending to the gate, and a fire was lit as soon as I was back indoors.
