Walking with Max

For a few weeks now on Sundays when l have been at work, Geoff has been taking Max for a walk down the drive and out onto the Rivulet flats where the Willows grow. It's very wet and muddy down there this time of year with leeches at every turn! Yuk! Not somewhere l choose to go much in the Winter!
Yesterday however l joined the two of them for their ramble and l was quite blown away by little Max! It was the best dog impression I have ever seen!

Over the creek

Wait for me!!!

A quick trot to catch up!

That's better!

A bit of an independent wander around and a drink...

Not for long though,he always came back for a group discussion!

And a bite! Don't be fooled by this oh so cute photo! When Geoff saw it he said "l think he was biting me there!!"

Then a clamber through these old gnarled fallen Willows. It's quite a narrow scramble for US let alone the pony !He looks a bit worried!

Eyes down, just follow Geoff!!

Head down to get though the last bit....

Mud!!!

Stopping for a breather

Then off again!

More discussing!

Back under this low branch where he had to really arch his back to get under !

And back across the creek!

We then did a quick detour up part of the drive to see if we could get a path through the other side.

Where Maxie finally politely waited for me!

Momentarily!

Then back home..

Pals!

He really seemed to enjoy it!

Top little pony!
