Took penny out for a couple of hrs, second time in the field with her on a one to one, just to see what she is capable of and her attitude in the field, very pleased I am with her, she circled this wood like a goodun, I just stood there and watched, out come this bunny, she missed it, but worked well, im happy with that, I also take a ferret out with me, very rarely do I ferret this time of year, but ive a pup to bring on, I was in some thick undergrowth, and she marked,so I obliged her with a ferret, out the out the bugger came, and the way she ploughed through the undergrowth made my day, sh

For me to sit here offering many thanks to you all for your kind words, just doesn't seem enough, its nice for me to know that over the years, you have enjoyed my days out in the field with Nell, if I hadn't got a pup to bring on, I would certainly have called it a day, but like ive said before, I still seek adventure, not dementia, Socks, hope your dog is on the mend , my last on Nell now folks, shes gone but I will never ever forget her, ive lost my best pal atb keith RIP NELL- 74 replies

Hey up lads, had lunch and thought id get my head down for a while. yesterday has left me drained, but one trick the pup has picked up from Nell, is the time of day, she wanted out, so put my feelings aside , and off out we went for an hr, she misses Nell, having run with her since I got her, and on two occasions, just stood there whining, I have the pics, she also came into season yesterday , thought perhaps I could put a bunny up in front of her, but nowt doing, my heart wasn't really into it, she enjoyed herself,thats the main thing

to much protein flowing through her entire body, even her back legs where beginning to fill up with fluids, I couldn't let her suffer any more, even the pup new summat was wrong the times ive had with Nell are unbeleavable, my escape now, will be tonight, I need to be on my own for a while and reflect back on times in and out the field with her, get it out my system which will take some time for me, RIP Nell hope ive done right by you -

no cure just treatment, and expensive at that, shes back to see the vet tomorrow, shes wheezing -
I will be 73 shortly, so at my time of life, I shall be doing what ive been doing for years, and putting work in front of my dogs, the amount I take wont make much difference , ive a pup to bring on, and besides that, I seek adventure not dementia
