Out here in the fields

	Dog Walk In July - 21 There are odd reminders out here that we're within throwing distance of people's houses.
	Dog Walk In July - 22 When we get out of the tunnel I can let Spike off the lead. I took this picture on account of not having four hands.
	Dog Walk In July - 23 OH YAY TIME TO PLAY!!!! WHERE'S MY TOY, WOMAN??!!!
	Dog Walk In July - 24 Find it yourself, Spike!
	Dog Walk In July - 25 We are in another tunnel, a bigger one that is far enough from any roads to let Spike off the leash. Squish is still on-leash because his recall is iffy and he likes to explore for miles, but I have swapped him to the longer leash for the duration.
	Dog Walk In July - 26 HERE'S MY TOY!!! I leave the toy out here, because if I walk round with an OMGTOY!!! in my pocket Spike becomes WAY TOO EXCITED to behave and just keeps jumping on me and trying to pick my pocket. It's only a length of knotted rope, so no one's likely to steal it.
	Dog Walk In July - 27 Throw it for me??
	Dog Walk In July - 28 YAYYY!!! Fetch the rope!
	Dog Walk In July - 29 A knotted rope is a versatile toy!
	Dog Walk In July - 30 I love my knotted rope!
	Dog Walk In July - 31 Spike's-eye view of me trying to leash him
	Dog Walk In July - 32 I'm still trying to leash him. Another "I haven't got four hands" picture...
	Dog Walk In July - 34 Why yes, it is a bit of a performance getting the leash back on Spike when he's all amped up, why do you ask? Incidentally, a good view of the repaired patch on his harness here!
	Dog Walk In July - 35 Home again, and Cassie comes and rubs against Spike's legs!
