You should be keeping Jill dry, she is carrying a special bundle you know! I am beginning to get webbed feet with all this water around.

Jill is a hardy type isn't she, bless her. :wub:

I must be getting soft in my old age. I went to the park Sunday morning and stood under the canopy of a large beech tree whilst my two had a quick wander round , only darting out with the poo bags when necessary, and off we went back home.

There was a time I'd set off for a day's walk in the hills with Fred, no matter what the weather was. :- "

Im an outdoors type of person, go out in all weathers with my dog, day or night, many a night when ive logged off from this forum i go out with Jill, im fortunate to be able to do so cos ive retired, i dont neccasarily go out with the intentions of working her, but its the freedom i love, the wildlife i love to sit and watch, the rains and winds in my face at the moment jill is sat at the back door whimpering to go out, its pissing down, she dunna care, and as long as we keep on the move which we do, she's enjoys herself, and so do i just watching her, im just having a sarnie, then we are off out, life is for living i say, get out there if you can

:cheers:

There's no greater pleasure than going out for a long walk with your dog, no matter what the weather. I'm with you on that one Keith :thumbsup:

I'm kind of looking forward to having a younger whippet again one day, but wouldn't part with Fred for the world either. We managed a short hill walk on Saturday, but he was very tired by the end of it, a bit unsteady and he was limping again, so we obviously over did it. :unsure:

Sorry...I feel very frustrated at the moment. It's just not the same taking Stanley out on his own.

You’re correct Keith. I do have the two dogs. I’m just trying to accept the fact that Fred can no longer accompany me on my longer, country walks. Stan is quite happy to come along, but somehow it just doesn’t feel the same without Fred. I feel guilty leaving him on his own at home and I often don’t have the heart to go out for those long walks by myself (but with Stan) without him. Another puppy isn’t really an option just now.

Take no notice of me. I’m committing the cardinal sin of feeling sorry for myself and Fred. I’ll have to look into getting a doggie rucksack for him!

Lovely photos of Jill btw :thumbsup: .

I don't blame her, it is so wet, any self respecting whippet is tucked up under a blanket snoozing until the rain clears, if it ever does! :cheers: Mine are -_-
