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 :)
