The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

2 and a half gees, which is on the high side of average but I'm really fussy about the lineage and pedigree.

We met Bruce's Mum and Grandma, which was nice. Bruce's Dad is a very popular stud dog brought in for a romantic candlelit dinner with Mum, himself a field trials champion and much in demand.

Even out of a litter of well bred, quality animals, Bruce was outstanding. Within 2 minutes he'd identified me as the person he needed to impress and was making a big fuss of me. Im a bit worried about him licking my beard though - hes not had his jabs yet so he could catch something

This is the only pic I have on the ipad of Millie. Not a great one.

So he picked you then?

There are 2 labs called Millie in our village.

Is he of show or working heritage?

Working, field heritage. Less chance of health issues (although sadly Lemmy barely made 8 before cancer got him), and I personally think they make better companions and pets.

They can be higher energy than show stock, but give them their 4 or 5 miles a day and they're fine.

I've often wondered, you as far west as possible, Shaun as far east as possible. Is it possible?

In Yorkshire - near enough, I reckon, although I don't know exactly where Shaun lives.

On the East Coast.

Just to report we saw the Goldwing parade. I counted 85 of them, Goldwings and three wheelers as well. Riders were dressed in all sorts of costumes , ranging from Starwars, Batman, Spiderman etc.... Quite a fair crowd of people but we watched from a quieter part of the prom which was less busy. Molly was also very popular with dog lovers.
Goodnight all.

I have a bitnof a soft spot for the old Lead Wing.

Morning. Took for ever to get to sleep so only just up. Nice enough morning but still not feeling the urge to cycle so it’ll be more walking today I think. Coffee and a browse first.

Good night of tv with Countryfile, Vera and Vigil.

Lazy girl.

Morning all
Decent sleep and up at 0600.
Lazy day today as all washing was done and bedding changed yesterday.
Lunch (I think) is jacket potato with cheese and beans......no idea about breakfast as my stomach refuses to work early on.

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Good morning folks,
A wonderful evening with friends last night, can’t remember the last time we were out that late. Champagne, wine, brandy and excellent food. I chose the “ signature “ chocolate bombe which is a globe of dark chocolate containing ice cream and ginger. I took the photo before the waitress came with a gravy boat of rich, dark hot chocolate which melted the bombe. Diet starts Monday…
