Hey, how you doing Podcats? Adam Buxton here. I am reporting to you from the usual Norfolk

Farm track, although it's a different part of it. And as you might be able to hear I'm not outside I'm sat in the car and it is

chucking it down but I'm here with my best dog friend Rosie.

Say hi Rosie.

Thank you.

She's here curled up on the passenger seat next to me.

And the reason for that is that recently she's been very reluctant to come out for walks.

What happens is that we go out, I put the harness on her and then we get to the same stretch of track

fairly early on in the walk where I usually do my intro's on the podcast and she just

freezes and refuses to go any further

and she starts shaking and it's like she's seen a ghost.

My best guess is that she's worried about the noise of shooting.

There's been some shooting around here,

you know, people hunting,

pheasants or whatever the hell they're doing.

And occasionally there's bangs from some of the fields or they scare the birds with these noises and stuff.

She's not great for Rose. She doesn't like it.

And I think that's the reason she's been so reluctant to come for a walk.

So I thought if we drove beyond the point where she usually gets freaked out,

maybe it might be okay and we could start our walk from out here in the field.

But as soon as I arrived, a huge storm cloud moved

overhead and now it's like something out of Twister. Oh, thank you.
