Reading and animal rescue. In the course of the latter, I have met some really nice ladies - got called out to capture a peahen that escaped at nearby docks once. Took me three months - they have the advantage of flight. I go out as eyes when there are horses that have been reported as in distress. Last call out the horses were okay, but just down the road I passed a field with this big showy cob strutting up and down the fence - mares were the other side of it. Every step he took his skin came out of his ribs and fell back in again. They were all removed within a week, and its nice to know I have made a difference.
Mostly small elderly dogs - although nearly got evicted last year after a pair of mastiffs were dumped on me - only supposed to have two - but the mastiff is being trained to do things like lend me his shoulder if I fall and pick up my stick, so legaly he isnt a dog any more. His brother we rehomed after he had been castrated - you cant let them fall into wrong hands or used to increase the unwanted dogs problem. I wouldnt have chosen him to be honest, he is a big soft boy - looks remarkably like a butler as dogs go. Happen its that solemn face, he is very big and loving. Adores my son.
