I love Dogs me...

I was once told that making the heart wrenching decision to let your pup go is 'the last kind act you can do for your dog'.  Those words have stuck with me ever since and are so true.

I lost my old girl last August Harry1000, and know your pain, but you did right by your old lad. 

I think about all my dogs, past and present, every day, and will for the rest of my life.  Life without them isn't the same!  The loss is horrific, but it's something you have to accept when taking on animals isn't it. 

I always say 'no more' I can't take the pain, but I'm not me without one...think it's in my DNA!

The beauty of today’s walk with my Dogs was it’s totally uneventful-ness, nothing happened, no sightings of Deer, Rabbits a plenty yes, one Hare languidly trotting over the newly seeded acreage yes but hardly anything else at all. It was just what was needed. The open fields hemming in scattered copse, the breeze soughing thru trees, leaves breaking that newly tenuous link periodically pointing out that Autumn has arrived proper. The changing of seasons, one of the most enjoyable occurrences of our wonderful annual calendar. Normality & calm all around in a maelstrom of change & concern for most of us worldwide. It’s my safe place, the countryside is timeless & calming, it grounds & steadies the heart & mind. I sit on an old Beech tree that succumbed to Winter storms many years ago, it’s wide, firm & still giving in its passing as it did in its living. My 2 Dogs either side of me young un to my right & her mum to my left. I opened my three quarter jacket to cover them they in turn shuffled closer. My happy safe place, always has been. Beauty all around good for mental well-being in these unsettling times. I hope you enjoy your day👍🏻

That creates a wonderful picture of you sitting with your dogs and letting Mother Nature clear your mind of all the nasty things we encounter in life, Rocky. I can see why you enjoyed your way of life as a woodsman.👍

Thanks for the tale. Enjoy your day.

Thanks Tinny, I loved every second of it but the long hours & age slowly turned an enjoyable experience into a chore🤷🏻‍♂️. I still have the Trees, my love of them & the natural world, but now I have time to stop & smell the flowers. They all have a way more profound affect on me now, plus I still indulge in personal logging to fill my wood stores. . .Winter is coming😂
