Yay!
Another good night, so I think we've cracked it. We also left Jodie alone in the house for the first time, while we went out for a short hack. She'd obviously been around all the exterior doors, trying to see where we'd got to, but no scrabbling and, when we got back, she was just sitting nicely with her nose pressed against the conservatory door watching until I let her out, so I think she'd just been lying on the living room carpet waiting for us. She is much better about letting us out of her sight now, which is very good.
(I even had a moment of worry while we were mucking out: she was nowhere to be seen, but then I realised she'd gone up to the field to sit in the shade.)
She has a new Best Thing Ever, which is coming outside with me at dusk and waiting to be let into the field, at which point she shoots off like a rocket (again, letting me out of sight!). I assume that she's chasing bunnies, but whatever it is she comes back terribly excited and does another of her Best Things Ever: drinking half the fish pond.
The Baby is amusing me, too: he's a bit constrained by only having GB to play with (to be fair to GB, he does sort of try to join in, but it's more of a half-heated trot when Jonny's bucking his way across the field!), and he seems to have decided that Jodie was a good prospect when he saw her running around. So he's started chasing her. She's not really very sure about this, and usually comes to hide behind me when he does it but she is getting less timid around the boys, so maybe they'll be able to play tag together.
Off for anniversary lunch, now, and a walk in the woods.

I just took her for a little run in the field, which I don't usually do when the boys are there (as opposed to taking her in there because I'm poo picking). Jonny was enjoying himself tremendously, chasing after and even throwing a few bucks. Ang just ignored her, unsurprisingly. It would be good if she would adopt them (or, at least, the baby: I don't think GB is interested), as it would be company for her.
