One Sunday we went looking for the last of the bluebells. She had a halter to match.

We ended up just walking the length of the lane and back.

There was a lot of snacking on the way.

We walked back up the lane and I sat on the granite steps while the sun went down. Connie kept on nibbling.

Another night and there were no walks at all, only quality time in Connie's pen. I had a garden chair in here so I could sit with her anytime I had a spare moment.

Yet another night and it was walkies time again - only this time I had an experiment in mind first. I wanted to get a picture of Connie and my legs (I've seen plenty of pictures of dogs like this but I thought it would be a fun twist to use a sheep). This is the best I got... which isn't very good.

The photo failed but we had a nice walk on the lane anyway.

Before the drought ended we got out for one last walk. As you can see in these photos a lot of the grass is very yellow from lack of rain. For this walk Connie wore a collar which I made for her and a bow tie.

She's just the cutest.

She climbed up on the steps and was too scared to get down. She worked it out eventually!
![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49958344293_8bd983b456_b.jpg)
...And then she went back up!
![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49958339293_afd1610619_b.jpg)
And got stuck again!

Sheep. Honestly.

I spent a lovely time with Connie over the heatwave. We really bonded together and I think we'll be friends for life. Once the rain came I didn't put Connie out in front of the house again and she stayed in the shed for a week or two... until she was ready for the next big step in her life. I'm hoping she will get stuck on this one.
