Your recent dog-ventures - let's see your pictures :D

Major ouch for you dislocating your knee cap, that is one of those injuries that makes me feel all funny inside! I hope you aren’t in too much pain and are recovering well with Roxie to look after you
 
What fab pics and congratulations on new arrivals! :) Had a gorgeous walk this morning and I was delighted to see Red enjoying the recall whistle so much!! :):) (read 'massive relief' in fact...) It was VERY blowy on the top too !! Just earlier the excitement of visiting the garden centre had resulted in a repeatedly levitating terrier....!! How I love this dog :):) ETA - sorry no idea why images are so big and repeated :( IMG_20200314_135200 (1).jpgIMG_20200314_134816.jpgIMG_20200314_133346.jpgIMG_20200314_135200 (1).jpg

Yes, it was soooo windy he had to close his eyes but still clearly enjoyed the wind in his hair!! He had to be on a lead at that point too as it is very, very steep either side of the path and I didn't want him taking flight (like an Irish fruit bat...) :)
 
The top pic is absolutely beautiful too, I think I saw on another thread you live near Hay on Wye so that explains the incredible scenery ? I could quite fancy an Irish terrier now.... ?

Yes, it is a lovely place to have a dog! We don't quite live in Hay but close'ish. The pics here are of the Black Hill (aka The Cat's Back) of Bruce Chatwin 'On the Black Hill' fame and it is a place that we all love and know very well. It was probably the longest walk Red has done and the only bit where he needed to be on a lead was over the very top as I feared for him. :) I don't think I will ever have the balls to try to take the horse over here with the dog as well but we spend a lot of time on the hill on the horses in the summer (and sometimes in winter too actually). This place means a huge amount to me and my OH and children. As for fancying an Irish terrier...I cannot quite put into words what a very special dog my little red friend is and I know that most people with these varmints feel the same. I adore my hound too and have always very much loved my sighthounds but this dog feels like my soulmate bless him. I am very new to this breed but I so wish I had known about them years ago; I could quite easily have always accommodated a little long legged red terrier along side any of my hounds!! And actually I find this terrier easier than any of the wonderful, sweet and utterly bloody minded hounds I have had!! :) :)
