The One that Got Away


James has reconnected with his love of fishing recently and spent a few idyllic afternoons down at the river trying to catch supper. The other morning without even trying he managed to catch a large (and let's face it pretty stupid) dog. Woody decided that he would eat the lure on a fishing line and I came out in the morning to see the hook stuck up his nose.. if you look closely you can see it sticking out. He was actually surprisingly unconcerned. He just looked a little bemused and kept trying to lick the annoying thing that was in his eye line. One anaesthetic and a pair of pliers later and he is back good as new. He has been re-christened "Simple Jack" (anyone who has seen the movie Tropic Thunder will understand)
