All the horses were confined to quarters which most of them didn't like and they spent most of the day with their heads over their doors. The hunt came past the yard and a couple of the hounds wandered up to Ari's run, this was the chance he had been waiting for "Comrades" he cried "this is your chance to rise up against the hated masters, rend them asunder, let us become the dogs of ...revolution. You have nothing to lose except your leads." The lead hound looked at his mate and said "Blimey.. a talking dog"
It is a tough and lonely life being a socialist dog around here, his dream of a workers collective where each was given what they needed was scuppered when Darcy cornered the world market in Bonios and awarded himself a 50% snack rise When Ari stood for the canine council on the SWP (Salopian Wagging Party)platform, he finished last, the sitting tenant Raaaaascaaaal, from the big house, had garnered all the votes, DJ was going to vote for Ari but decided on a nap instead, and it was noticed that Darcy was wearing a new coat after the visit from the sitting member .
Tomorrow I will reveal details of an exciting competition at Barns Cottage and will start the countdown to Christmas, Anyway it is Downton Abbey soon and I'm off to get my noble trousers on.
