Bailielands Bruce himself

Haven't too many pictures of Brucey around the website, somehow he's always running around doing something when I think of it. But today I tied him up ( poor divil) and got a few snaps, he's in fairly rough winter coat but it won't be coming off until next year, he'll be needing it from now on. Bruce was five last month.

Saturday Walk

Saturday Peter, Bruce the hound mix, Cara ( December Dawn ) and I went to Sligo for a day out. These pics were taken along the riverside walk near Cleveragh Retail Park, a lovely little walk along side birch and oak plantings standing in swamp-like ground, very unusual :)

We felt like we should keep an eye out for alligators, we did meet some swans though.

later on we went to Strandhill, had a picnic and a walk just as the sun was setting and the moon rising over Knocknarea, not enough light for fotos but it was a memorable sight on halloween :)

On The Miners Way

Here is Peter and new arrival Bruce at Scardan Waterfall outside Drumkeeran County Leitrim.









These pictures were taken on the Arigna Miners Way a hiking trail outside Carrick On Shannon in County Leitrim. The track we are walking on was taken by coal miners and now in this day and age is flanked by massive wind turbines, kind of fitting isn't it :)








New arrival to kennels Bruce came yesterday from Clonsilla Dublin. He is a hound mix i would guess at a harrier/jack russell mix and is not working out in an urban life style.

He is to be trained for barking in cover and if he is good at it he will do very well.

So Peter and I took him out hill climbing with us to get to know him. He is a great dog quite well behaved and a lovely lovely nature. His last owner has done very well with him but accepts he could do better in a working environment.

During our walk he was tracking sheep that had run up the road ahead of us and in every way was using his nose to check out the world. Don't worry we had him on an extending lead :)

He was very good last night we kept him in the house it seemed mean to put him into kennels and he was clean and quiet. Great dog.

We introduced him to Muttwee this morning and they got on quite well. Maybe they will make a good team :)

Cast A Cold Eye On Life On Death Horseman Pass By

Sunday morning we were up early to take 2 of cailin's daughters to Boyle to begin their journey home to america with their new mums:)

After this Peter, Cailin and myself headed for Sligo to make a day of it.

We visited Drumcliffe the burial place of WB Yeats, walked Tullan Strand at bundoran, Co. Donegal and climbed Knocknarea mountain to the tomb of Queen Maedbh of Connaught. Excellent day out.
