Goodbye Maggie

[stroller 341]

This a sad little obituary for my little lurcher Maggie, She was injured badly this morning during exercise after a lazy jump over barbed wire. The decision wasn't an easy one but it had to be made. Everyone who knew Maggie knows she wasn't a pleasant dog she was an adrenalin junky and ran at million miles an hour even when she was sleeping due to her Kelpie ancestors. She was a bully in kennels and a horror towards strangers (She actually instigated a fight between me and a local dick head).

She had a good life for all of that she worked and hunted with the best of them and earned her place. When I remember her I will wince and then smile.

Get on Mags, Get on lass..................

My pup had a close one with a fence yesterday. It was a sheep fence with 2 x barbed wire strands on top. She ran at it full speed and jumped between the 2 strands of barbed. Jesus my heart stopped for a second. I looked away. Looked back and there was clumps of fur on both strands. She was lucky this time. But it could easily of gone the other way.

worse than them gaz, is the wire they have for the cattle about 4 ft in to the field , the dog got to 1st jump the fence b/wire between the 2 fields , then whilst in mid air clear that fecker 4 ft in the field , it a nightmare , always light up the fence so the dogs have seen it deff, had some very close calls with my dogs over the years , and I am forever ripping me trousers on the twating stuff i hate b/wire fences
