    Just hoped over the garden fence and saw this doe and buck approximately 60yrds from each other. This Buck visits regularly, he's an oldie with some great antlers which is hard to see due to my poor mobile phone pics. I was sitting on a bank 45yrds or so, before both bolted. The fields beyond this spinney normally hold good numbers of Cwd, this morning 5/6 were grazing, but too far for my poor mobile phone camera. It's very common to see great numbers in one field. Today I'll try and snap a better picture of them.

    Had a little walk/drive last night. I saw many game birds roosting on the toastie farm tracks. I did see lots of these though.

    I'm not saying it is but there's a hell of a lot of Kennel Cough around this year.

    Out of all the books (I've not seen or read any of the terrier books) this is the best one. However some of the photos were out of focus, just like my one here

    This is the first time I've had a chance to read this since I purchased it back in 2011. Although I disagree with some of what Jonathan Darcy has written, this was a pleasure to read with some great photos.

    If you can find a decent Fourtrack then that's you best bet. L200's are back breakers, lots of roll in the drive, back end fishtails on the slightest of wet ground. They are very spacious and the twin cabs work a treat when shoving your wet muddy dogs and equipment in the rear cab away from yourself and passengers. Discovery 3/4 are superb on and off road, lots of room, no roll in the drive. HSE comes fully loaded, to long to list! For a 2 ton vehicle they're not bad on fuel. If you look after any vehicle, not drive it like a tool, service it then it will look after you.

    It's another topic where opinions will vary. Some are set in their own ways with dealing with a young pup. Introduction is just as important as the natural growth, abuse one or the other and your vulnerable pup may suffer with complications. We all hope that our dogs will go for some innings. I certainly allow my pups to be pups, and eventually allow them to come into contact with dead fur and feather. The rest comes in time.

    Yes he's a big pup at the minute, looking promising.

    It's always the rescue dogs that pop up on forums with the same MO. I don't care what people think of this, we all have our own opinions. Rescue centers churn out dogs daily. Half the time they tag a sad story to its neck that IT was rescued from a traveller camp or found wondering along the A1 trying to hitch hike. They will feed you with so many RSPCA story's to reel you in and rescue that gooey eyed Lurcher. Then the money part, oh yes the contract, the charity bit, when you pass more money than what they are asking because you've saved that dogs arse from the asylum! This is were they
