& Sybil yes she can & will take off. Cats are a big deal. Like many dogs she loves her own cats but the terrier in her sees anything that's running and reasonably small as prey. That & the fact that her mother is really neurotic and worries too much about her. Oh in the olden days when I had two retrievers (Em & Jake) + Miss D there was lots and lots of off leash business - often tres nerve wracking I make myself sick thinking about it now ;-)
No we don't walk together, 2 completely different styles of strolling. I like to meander and take pictures. Doug's a point A to point B man.
Winnie will be 14 this coming Jan 10 and had just turned 1 when I adopted her 13 years ago (almost). I love her madly as you can imagine, not sure how I'll manage without her.
Love your photos Susan. I think my grandcat, residing permanently with us, would be classed as 'prey'. She loves to go for a walk with me everyday, trotting at my side like a dog, but we are always on the lookout for dogs off leads - I am terrified that one day she will indeed become prey, but she loves her walks so much ( a lead for her doesn't work - she takes off quickly with the lead attached!). I am always so appreciate of responsible dog owners, with their dog on a lead, while others couldn't care less.(If we see them in the distance we have to come home). On reading this, I sound like the district's crazy little old cat lady - would probably complete the picture well with a walking stick and bird on my shoulder!!
Winnie is such a dignified looking dog! Thank you for all the wonderful photos and thought provoking entries all through the year. It's been a delight! Merry Christmas and all the best in the new year!
The Gardener says I must tell you how much he loves your dog. And your house.....

I notice she's always on-leash. Does she take off ? Do you not walk your dogs together ?
ReplyDeleteHow old is Winnie ?
Gosh -- I'm full of questions today aren't I ? ;-)
