Neal 1,784 Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 It's definitely arrived because Ella ( my lovely wife) just showed me the back cover before wrapping it as she thought you'd borrowed one of my two for the photo! Is it Taz? Then again she still can't tell Noggin and Ned apart even though Nog's now getting on for six and Ned's been with me for a year and a half. I've tried to explain the main difference: Noggin keeps himself to himself and curls up in a ball on the dog sofa whereas Ned is the one who's so in your face that I'd swear she and the kids have rechristened him with a Welsh name: Gowaway! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Lloyd 10,736 Posted December 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 You are lucky not to have received, a rap on the knuckles,.. for slyly peeking,.. at your Xmas pressie Yes, the Kelpie is Taz,... a cracking animal that passed on his steady temperament and physical toughness, to his progeny.. Whenever I got one of my Kelpie moments, I would take a walk out with the dog and his owner; doing so, always seemed to sate my appetite, for owning a purebred animal.. Unfortunately,..that primitive urge is always with me, it never goes away, and I know that someday, I will probably succumb.... http://www.chalkwarren.co.uk/ 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Night Walker 591 Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 Just finished my copy excellent read from start to finish. Phil, John best first showed me how to long net and we caught a few pheasants in Eddie chapmans front field just for the crack. He's a good fella John always liked him also the zorro dog brought back memories, I collected the dog from Lincolnshire as a pup, he was a good little dog hopefully this won't be your last book as I'm sure you still got a lot to offer lads 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hope there will be more to come in the future, Atb best from the future 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
