In view of the recent events I decided to rid of all the books that I had started dipping in and out of, to empty my head of all input I had been given and to go back to the start. So far I had not been dissapointed by my 'gut instincts' and it was time to listen to that a little more, too.
I have to start all over again, but at least this time I know what not to do.
The past days I spent by just finding the odd bit of spare time to spend with 'Mr F' and the others in the field. I would make a cup of tea and just go and sit there, not interfereing with anything nor making eye contact.
'Mr F' is now ok being fetched but he still does give me this weary look as though to say 'I do hope you learnt something here ... don't mess it up again please.'
And so, as the days go by and 'Mr F' was beginning to trust me again, we are able to go on our walks once more. He also seems more interested in what is going on and generally appears much more content with his life.
The other evening he even came trotting up to me to say hello. I think he knows that I got the message.
