LaraCroft 863 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Nice ! Got snow here, which is fine, but sheesh the wind is bitter. Mine played in the snow for a while, then all wanted to go home to warm up. They certainly wouldn't have wanted to swim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 1,927 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hi Jigsaw! That reminds me of one time about eight years ago when my wife and I were on holiday in Belstone (Dartmoor) with my two kelpies and Moss the kelpie/collie x greyhound that you have the photos of. It looked bright enough so we set off from the cottage, straight out onto the moor. However, knowing Dartmoor fairly well (as I used to live in the west country) I still took my barbour. Within five minutes it had started raining. Five minutes after that I was soaked to the skin. We stopped for a quick chat and decided these were stupid conditions and we should go back to the cottage...but there was no sign of the dogs. I then spotted them just a few yards away huddled together under a gorse bush and all three were wearing a "what the f*ck are you doing standing out there?" expression on their faces. This was despite the fact that their coats were so waterproof I used to tell people they were half teflon frying pan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jigsaw 11,902 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 neal,no fear of this mutt going under a bush,lol hes showing lately just how tough he is,nothing deters him from swiming,hes nuts for the water.bird the water was white from being whipped into a froth from the wind,it was really really cold yesterday morn but it didnt take a shake out of him.my kelpie x is a hardy individual in her own way but she was tucked into my legs and it was very evident they were not enjoying the experience so we turned around after walking for an hour.I never saw the 2 runing dogs to jump into the van so fast,but not the shepherd,he was still doing laps around the grassy verge.hes fekin mad as a hatter.
