Blummin Dogs

[Dean Lofthouse]

Got up this morning 5.50am, down to the canal car park with landy, got bike out of the back and set off on my usual 7 mile training run for the dogs along the canal.

 

The canal in places runs along side a river.

 

One of the dogs spots Ducks on the river and decided to go fetch and dissappears.

 

After an hour of, Panic, anxiety, Brambles, bruises and thousand curses, I found him still in the river one mile downstream, chuffed to bits with himself.

 

Then to top it all when I got back to the car park there was a carboot going on. I got a rollocking of two OAP's for nicking "their" spot and then another rollocking off another OAP organiser for parkng their in the first place as the car park is not to be used "the second sunday of every month" as these lot use it for charity fund raising.

 

Well I do apologise madam, next time I'll put the defender into helicoptor mode and "hover park" !!!!

Good pic least the dogs are happy mate I'm the same though just a hangover then on to a christening do me godfather bit and some more drinking. Fancy a couple of spaniels me sel when the babies are a bit older is it true having too calms them down a bit cos we had one spaniel and it was mental

[ad15]

if you have two dogs it "CAN" calm them down BUT NOT if they are the same age and brother sister,,, they can egg each other on and be double trouble,,,

 

 

just look at kids for reference,,,, then add 2 more legs and teeth..

I think it is true Lorry.

 

I think plenty of excercise is the key to happy dogs, they are quiet as a mouse at home, calm and relaxed. Then when out they go into "hunting" mode and are mental but obedient.

 

They are the softest dogs on the planet, but hard as nails when it comes to getting into cover such as bramble, the bigger one will gladly die to retreive a bird, I have to really keep an eye on him.

 

Last week they both saw geese on the other side and jumped up on a 3ft wall, before I could blow the stop whistle they had both gone over, it was 10ft on the other side and had run down the ivy to get down. It took me ten minutes to get them back over
