I'll strip this one down a bit when it gets warmer, but not too much, I like that trampy look....

On a scale that goes from rip-roaring fun, to deep depression. I think most people idle between 'not upset' and 'not too upset'...

Can't better that and totally agree. I find wolves far more interesting than say, big cats etc...

Calm With Horses Film4 I post here when a film has genuinely stirred me, and this one really did... The story of Arm, an ex boxer and now an enforcer, for a criminal family in rural Ireland. Trying to provide and be a father for his autistic son and with his ex still in his heart. A film about divided loyalty. It's stark, gritty, poignant and a compelling watch. With the lead played by Cosmo Jarvis, an American actor, who is superb in the part, though for me Barry Keoghan, who plays the menacing Dymphna, steals the show. It's the Director Nick Roland's debut film

The dealer dog,any if that blood still about
Bosun11 replied to fat man's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
The owner used to on here, putting pics up... 'The Dealer' dog always reminded me of the older 'The Real McCoy' dog. Both were very similar, big headed, well grafted and had a 'The' stuck in front of their name.... Wonder how much blood is left from both dogs... ? -
If I was digging to terriers I'd always go Fell Boots, though if I wanted something 'more comfortable' I'd go for Glockners or another heavy duty mountain boot. If it was just lurcherwork and general winter hunting then them Hiax are decent enough for the price, or half decent Karrimor from Sports Direct (loads to choose from). For summer hunting get yourself some of them Nike Air Max. Superb over hard ground and will see you skipping when your Bull cross is near crippled.... ?

Stung by the NHS today... Just over 12 months ago I was percribed blood pressure tablets by my GP. Went on the pre-payment scheme as it made cost effective sense. What I didn't realise is that it required renewal on the 10th of December last year. My local pharmacy know me well enough to know I'm on the scheme when collecting and on the 4th January this year, I went in to collect. Got the usual 'oh, your pre-pay' to which I, none the wiser, replied yes, was handed my prescription and off I went... Next prescription was in March, different girl behind the counter and she asked if

Top draw mate, gonna give that a whirl... What I didn't mention is that I did 'brine' that pork for 12 hours before cooking. Brining is a game changer on large joints imo. Cheers for those extras though..?

I seen it somewhere and googled the image. Think there's loads of stuff out there with that quote on it ?

Never easy mate, sorry for your loss

Cheers Borr ? They were some sort of new potato (can't remember!), sliced lengthways. I par boiled em as pork loin don't take too long. The pork I pierced it all over and pushed in garlic cloves and made a rub of salt, brown sugar, cumin, smoked paprika and lemon juice. It was really good. Slivers of soft garlic in almost every slice. Gonna try a leg of pork the same way next time. ?

No Ray, just the bitch now... My family has seen to her and my other dog, spending long times in the house, and though I never wanted it, like with Daniel's dogs, we all share the upkeep. For me, i've enjoyed it all, so far and the Lurcher has had me smiling much more than frowning, which is why I wrote the original post. Mine still live out, I'm still allergic and it's easier but when we're home they are in, they are clean too and as I said I'm enjoying the comedic antics of this lurcher no end. ?

Not always the case mate...

Looks like a plastic flooring, that'd make them spot on for hygiene. Propper yard to move em round in too ?

No mate she isn't my first either, but I did have them long enough ago not to appreciate their quirks. Though she lives outdoors, it's bringing one into a family environment that's made all the difference for me. Before, they were just working dogs. Don't get me wrong, some things have been emotional, she's no dream dog, but I can really appreciate her and it certainly is educational. ?
-
Cheers Phil, I recon your spot on with that. ? I, like you have come to appreciate great working dogs, down the line, when there's been enough time and action to appreciate what you do for each other... This little girl's had a different start, she's more of a family dog than I've ever owned before and my wife and daughter see that she lives that side to the hilt and it's from that, that I've got to see all her quirks. She has me in stitches most days. Thing is, in the field I'm equally impressed and so with both sides to her, I can enjoy her even more... ?

This dogs other job is a comedian. I've never owned a dog in 55 years that makes me laugh so much.... From her vocal yodelling when trying to 'talk' to us, to the pure stupidity and antics around the house and those daft looks we get... Mabel, you really have won me over...
