I love Dogs me...

Spot on Tinny, I sometimes go many days when the beauty is still there but not much of interest to anyone but me. Then I get a couple of days with something different or particularly enjoyable, it's that I like to share. It doesn't matter what is talked or posted about on Here it's enjoyable. I could see in my minds eye HD's encounter with His urban Foxes-excellent

with so many people rushing about ,with no time to spare ,it's nice to be out early and see the wildlife around us and just stand and listen, I bet the people who live around me don't even know the Fox's are there !!

Here's ours I did post him on the other forum. He is our 5th Yorkshire Terrier.

The landscape on my local dog walks are very different from yours Rocky. It is not an arable farming area but instead we have green rolling hills intersected by hedgerows, small copses and country lanes. We live some 25 miles inland but on a clear day from a high point on my walks I can see Blackpool Tower some 30 plus miles away.

One morning last week while out with Spike we were on the outskirts of a local village, to my left were a row of Victorian Terraced houses and to my right was a hawthorn hedge behind which was a large old oak tree in the field. I have passed this tree many times but this time was different. To my surprise a lady I estimated to be in her late sixties, was swinging on a rope swing suspended from one of the large branches. Seeing her made my day it certainly put a smile on my face, sorry no picture I didn't want to embarrass her. I do love the country scenery, even though the trees are bare right now, it just forms a different landscape for us to enjoy.

I remember, Briang. We commented on his lovely face. Good to see him over here.

Nice picture Briang.

You posted while I was typing my post.

That's the beauty of our country, Nevers, each area is different. We have hills, fields, moorland and the wonderful coast and all are beautiful in their own way. As the crow (or seagull) flies, we are only about 400yds from the sea but can see the heights of Clay Country and up towards the Moor. It's all variety and most of it great for dogs.

I chuckled at your tale of the lady on the swing. 

Nevers, we know there's no bad or good just ours, we each take something different from the same landscape, we each enjoy what we see, there's the rub-enjoyment, add to that our Dogs & it's pure gold. That Lady is not denying Her inner child so She ain't old. Great story Mucker

Well Guys and Gals, let me say that at one point, I was so smitten with the loss of content on a couple of my favorite threads, plus the fact that I also felt let down by the mess of this new forum, I seriously considered taking leave for pastures new, in fact I declared just that in bestboys thread.

However, since reading all the new doggy posts by all the familiar posters, I realise that I may have been a bit hasty in my decision.

True to say that I would miss reading and posting about my/our favorite four legged friends, so have decided to stay. Thank you friends, it's amazing how the love of dogs brings people together.

KW...Hope things get better for you, thinking of you......

Rocky ..Thanks for your great posts, inspiring, wish we were closer as I think Alfie would give little un a good run, I'm sure that he has whippet in him, he loves to run.

TW, nevers, husky, K, Dave and all the others thanks for sharing with me/us, I would have missed not reading your stories.....

Carry on posting your stories of Alfie, BT. They're good to read.
