Such happy dogs

You have no snow! Lucky you. We have so much it's difficult to navigate beyond the walkway and driveway.

I wish i had an area like that to let mine run. I have areas for squirt if there are no other dogs around, but not in winter. I dont trust spider to not take off or get scared and bolt and then get lost.

Thank you! @amymeme, we did have snow a few weeks back but like 2 inches the next day it was gone.

I am lucky my garden back right into national trust so I have a whole woods that is pretty much untouched, and then the woods leads to a foot path that opens up onto that field. My 2 are pretty good Storms recall is 100% I have to say her name once and she’s back at me feet but Apollo is 90% he won’t come back to my feet he’ll come back to about a 10 foot circle, he hates the lead and they are both so friendly with every one and every dog! The only time I’ve found they have been stand-off ish with any one was about 2 months ago I was out walking and these 2 boys was on bikes and sort of following me, and Apollo and Storm started howling but not there “oh look that’s go play excited howl” it was more of a aggressive protective howl.

Im only .5 miles from the national forest. But i have to go through the neighborhood to get there and thats where id worry. And we have things that can hurt my dogs. You would be amazed at the damage a bighorn sheep can do. Then there are mountain lions, lynx, bears, coyote and supposedly bigfoot type things and skinwalkers. Im not sure where i believe when it comes to bigfoot but skinwalkers could be real. Weird shit happens here.

Wtf is a skin walker??????? I’ve heard of big foot but never a skin walker!! The worst thing i got to worry about is dog stealers atm! People are going round just taking dogs, we have no predictory animals here only stags in the rutting season they will charge are you, but apparently we have a panther that got lose from the zoo a while ago and every now and then there is the odd sighting, it was spotted 15 miles from me about a year ago and no one has seen it since.
