Tess - The Border Collie 🐕

There is a dog that resides at the hotel we were staying at.

 

Tess. She’s a lovely young border collie, and can often be found at the front of the hotel on the grass; with her tennis ball in her mouth, or next to her.

 

She wants you to pick up the ball and throw it for her; at the same time she doesn’t want to let it go out of her possession. It’s an inner battle that she has with herself.

If you do manage to get it she’ll chase it, but, won’t let you have it again.

She’d follow us around as we walked across the field, or sit near us as we sat on a bench… tempting us with the ball.

 

Tess is very popular amongst the hotel guests, the ones we saw had the same experience as us.

 

She wasn’t interested in running around with Patches. Which I think Patches was grateful for. Patches enjoys a peaceful less strenuous life.
