Snout in the trough

There are occasions when a small dog can cause Miranda apoplexy. I have known her leap into my arms when a pooch approaches wagging it's tail.

However it's not until you see her in the pen with three fairly large snorty pigs, welly deep in mud, and a bag of peelings in her hand as she talks to them calmly, that you see the other side of her. Tough and feisty, able to hold her own, she's a tough cookie when it suits her....!
