Another New Day Off the Chain
The real story behind this edition
Scout watched the Wicklow hills on an early morning spin, inspected the road and later put every leg to work when the ball moved.
Then came his first roast lamb Sunday dinner with seven adults. One of them was a magician with smells. Scout kept the chair between himself and the leg of lamb, ate the smell first, enjoyed a few nibbles during dinner and received the bone afterwards.
