There's Water in the Pond!!!!!!!

You will remember, I am sure, how the water in the pond disappeared suddenly whilst we were on holiday last summer. There have been several who have been under my suspicion since and we have had several false starts when I thought there may have been water coming back, but all to no avail. The pond has stayed resolutely free of water! I have even suspected space aliens of being behind it!

Now strange things happen around here all of a sudden, a week or so ago we went to work in the morning slipping and sliding through the snow and ice, and when we came out that night it had all gone! Every last bit of cold stuff had been taken away whilst we were in the office for the day. But who could have undertaken such a herculean feat?

The pond, I'm sorry I digress, I have been using it as a bit of a race track recently. Wee up telegraph post, then run down through the dry pond and up the other side and wee up Dairy Lady Hoomun's car before The Owner has seen what I am up to and I do the same thing in reverse going home at night. Last night it was dry as normal when I ran through it. This morning The Owner got up at a silly time and I was worried that he may have been planning to wander off across the fields again and not be seen again for several weeks so I took his boots and hid them behind the ironing board. He never uses that anyway so I thought they would remain undiscovered behind there. He didn't wander across the fields so I needn't have worried but when he came to look for his boots I had to find a way of sneaking them back in. If he had looked behind the ironing board he may have found some of the other little treasures I have hidden there since Owners Daughter went home again and that would probably have started my day badly. His boots on and smelly Barbour Jacket round his shoulders we started off down the road for the office. Now I was so pleased he hadn't wandered off and we were going for our normal patrol before the office I wasn't really looking where I was going. Post wee'd up and on at break neck speed through the pond for Dairy Lady Hoomun's car...... (splutter!) Who the hell filled the pond over night?!?!?! It was full to the brim! Unfortunately, I was in the middle of it! The paint is wearing off the exclamation mark key on the keyboard the amount of times I am using it on this report!

The Owner chuckled and I dripped all the rest of the way to the office. I have been curled up under the desk on my blanket, which is also soggy now, and The Owner has been complaining in a very exaggerated fashion about the smell of pond weed in the office. I think he smells like a camel. Walks like one too. I think I'll be in the calf sheds if anyone wants me until I have dried off a bit. Now where could that water have come from so suddenly????
