Em sleeping off a big meal , she caught and ate a pidgin while we were on a walk.

The world is a better place with one fewer pigeon in it.

Tell Em that I have some mockingbirds that taste even better than pigeons.

She'd be game , loves her meaty treats on walks , rabbit, squirrel or pidgen , think her next bush tucker trial should be a fish just to get the set , underground , up trees , in the air so she needs under water .

I have to say pigeons don't put their crap in bags and hang it in trees and it's easier to wipe off shoes.....I like dogs but some owners are the ones needing training. This should be in what irritates I guess. Pigeons clean up discarded take-away and when Armageddon comes you'll be gratefull for a bit of BBQ pigeon...

Everybody should be able to enjoy the countryside and that means being responsible with the dog poo .
As a dog owner the thing that bugs me most is mountain bikers , my male collie hates them so I have to grab him if I see one , the problem is they are by far the fastest of all users of rural paths and if they see you trying to grab your dog they don't slow down one bit and you get virtually no time to react , if your the fastest moving traffic it comes with its own responsibilitys but they just see it as a right to use the countryside as a race track , he hates horses as well but they I can always see in plenty of time and are responsible enough not to be galloping on a public path .

I used to have more respect for dog walkers but so many these days seem so irresponsible with the poo cleanup. I clean up after my own dogs I don't need to do everyone else's too.

The pigeons around town seem to swarm when the see anything on the ground. I know that means they learned it but I wouldn't miss a few less pigeons.

The mockingbirds though, there were a few in the neighborhood that thought my home was theirs. They'd come from across the street to attack me at the front door, attack me in the garage. For a while I had to keep a racketball racket handy for personal defense. One day they came when I was washing the car. They got the message after I chased them away with the hose spray nozzle. Master of pressurized water wins again! So yes Em, mockingbirds are delicious...

You think you can take this from me old man? Go ahead, give it a try. You will fail. Repeatedly. I revel in your failure.

Luckily I'm a mechanic by trade and I know a place that can put new belt into the inertia reel cartridge for £40 a pop , better than £100 for a new one from a dealership but still money I did not need to spend .

I know another dog (friends) that has chewed many a seatbelt, I think the last count was about 12 in total over the past few years. I'm always nervous about unplugging and plugging in the airbag sensors....

Em watches as I take a picture of the mist so thick across the valley it looks like I could walk across it . She's Batman

Baxter, our 1.5 year old Boxer. Such a good boy. Love him to death, but also one of the single biggest pains in my @ss!

Beautiful boxer! We are working on getting our third and also taking more boxer rescues this winter.
