    Here's Boots on one of the many occasions I've worked him until almost his last breath,the dog has no quit in him,Bear & Rose his pups are exactly the same,all these dog's would lay their life on the line & die trying for me. None are world-beaters but they are trier's & I have no qualms in owning such dog's. On this occasion I travelled over 1000 miles,in fact it was a 1037 mile return trip to test Boots. Within 30 seconds of him exiting the car on arrival at our destination he proceeded to run flat out into an unseen ditch chasing a beastie, honestly when I got to where he was, he was laying horizontal in the ditch with no movement at all. I was fearing the worst but to my amazement after around a minute or so he let out a big gasp,his ribcage lifted & he somehow managed to get to his feet. He walked to me like a drunken sailor who had just gulped down a litre of rum. On checking him over I seen he had a hole in his chest & was obviously battered & bruised. On getting him in the car I decided I'd drive the 500 odd miles straight back home again from the north of Scotland,two hours into the drive I stopped to let him & my little Pom Ruby have a stretch of their legs & to have a pee. As we wandered away from the roadside towards a not too high mountain around 1/4 of a mile from the roadside Boots staggering behind me lifted his head & nosed the air & then immediately went past me at a slow but gathering pace,out of my eyesight he went & when I next caught sight of him he was almost at the summit some 30-40 yard's behind a big old beast. Ruby & I began the ascent & it must of been almost a hour before we crested the highline where we seen Boots go over. We scoured the vast plateau looking to see if we could see him but nothing,then out of a peat hag I seen something rise then disappear again,we headed to where I'd seen something & low & behold here he was with a beast. I couldn't believe it,the dog was barely walking after his exploits into the ditch just a couple of hours earlier yet here he was pushing through the pain barrier in a quest to lay one to rest. He almost died up on that mountain after reading the last rites to his quarry,the pic of him laying down was how he was immediately after that & the other pic is after I sat beside him for a good hour trying to get him up on his feet to be able to walk back to the motor. He may just be a Saluki cross but he has guts,grit determination & drive up there with most. I've tested his metal many many times & he's never shown me anything other than 100% commitment..you can't ask a dog for anymore than it's all..great dog,great memories

    Made a few pies today, mince and onion for me and a couple of blackberry pies from harvesting out the back.

    Gave a blackberry pie to next door as she's on crutches for 5 months after breaking her leg in 2 places and he's recently had his colon out 😱 

    I'm the one that's supposed to be ill FFS 👍 

    Cheers, D.

    I don't think ramsdale is happy I think his dad mentioned it a while back  but a keeper that can play out from the back seems all the fashion theses days  city's keeper does it brilliantly I was surprised they signed havertz especially for that figure I think they will try and sign a prolific striker in jan  though and offload a few but rice as been a good signing for them talking about ramsdale I wonder if Newcastle given popes injure will test the waters with a transfer 

    Hurry up and pay for Raya and give JDT some funds before he leaves for a Palace or Forest etc.

    Cheers, D.
