the man who views the world at 50 the same as he viewed it at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.......  we all think different as we get older Phil, ?

Does it really matter wether Spud was a world beater or not. By the writings in the shooting news I think Gary was more than happy with the dog and that's what really matters to anyone who has hunted

I did not know him but enjoyed reading his articles and looking at the pictures of his dogs in Shooting News etc.

Bit of advice when feeling a little weathered by age after a death; get yourself a pup, takes the mind forward to the future rather than dwelling back on the past

 

 You're only are old as the dogs in your kennel.........................

I must admit I'd stagnated a bit for a year or two, lurchers now 11 and 14, should have got a pup 2 or 3 years back but got one ahead ago ?

Wouldn't say I'm bang at it ? but I'm doing a bit ? got the buzz again, never too old ?

Cheers, D.

Edited to say feck me I'm only 149

I have seen so many people give up the dogs for various reasons. In many cases it has been a good thing, some people should just not own dogs or God forbid try and work them.

But for some people who have given up I think it was a mistake. The things that replaced the life that they previously had is not always an improvement. But it's all objective of course.

I very much doubt that I will own another proper working terrier. The present one will be my last. Thank God. But cannot imagine a life without a terrier. Probably going down the fluffy Bedlington route next time. Easier to live with and going full circle as my family had them years ago.

?I think the phrase 'giving up on the dogs' is often a bit of a misnomer...

The act of moving on, to pastures new, is entirely a personal one...?

With that in mind,...I feel that I've taken more than enough hearts and souls,...indeed, I have been coming to this final conclusion, for the last ten years...

I've not gone, vegan or anything like that ?....I just feel that there has got to be more to my life than, 'dawgs and ferrets'...

 As my time on this earth nears its end,...I want to do some of the things that my manic obsession, has made me miss out on...

I will always have a dog of sorts,...that is one thing, that I cannot live without,...but, my mind set has changed dramatically...?

Onwards and upwards,...I've served my time, I've done my bit,....and some more....?

 Enjoy your lives Brothers, go careful and stay safe,....all the best, OldPhil.?
