Affection Hussy

Then I have days like these! I loves my job, I loves it good. We were picking up branches around the parks today, the easterly winds have managed to dislodge all the dead limbs. I thought my leading hand had temporarily lost her sanity when she told me that there was a dog in the fenced off lake section. Turns out she was right. This beautiful little girl was poking her head out from a ditch. After quite possibly the smallest ammount of coaxing I've ever seen, she came up to us for a pat. We rang the boss to call the rangers. She had a registration tag on, but no name tag. So if the owners details are up to date, then she should be going home within the week. She was very happy and affectionate. If we stopped patting her, she would rub her head against us to make us continue. She must have been lost for a while, she was starving for attention and when we rubbed her body, you could feel her ribs and hips. Nothing a good meal cant fix. She was certainly a lovely way to kill an afternoon.
