About Me

My photo
At the moment I am caring full time for a family member and when the time comes I will be selling up and living on a narrowboat.I enjoy reading,especially about those living on narrowboats and their daily lives.The tug Nb Resolute in the above picture is NOT mine but is owned by Dave Moore and is something I would aspire to own one day although I am going to look at many boats before I make a decision on the style and interior.Tugs are looking good at the moment but have yet to look around one. My interest in narrowboats started some 47 years ago. As a lad I cycled from Luton to bridge 111 on the G.U.by the Globe to fish and watch the Morton and Clayton boats go by,full of coal with a family on board and always wondered how they kept their balance on the planks that ran above the coal and why the the dogs didnt jump in the canal.That fascination has stayed with me so when I am able I will be there on my narrowboat joining in the great community of boat owners.

More Dogs at Appledown Rescue Centre.

Today was a good day to walk the dogs at Appledown http://www.appledown.co.uk/ not too hot with a slight breeze. I only had time to walk three dogs before having to return to do the weekly shopping. People give dogs some funny names  and I think I had three of them today. First on the list was ...

Grogan.


For the first fifteen minutes he pulled ahead but after half an hour he had settled down and gave me a look at the end of his walk to say thanks.


Next for a walk was...

Roseaide.


I hope I spelt her name correctly.
This dog barked for Britain and would not stop for 20 minutes, after this she calmed down and enjoyed the rest of her walk. If a dog has not had a walk for two days they are bound to be mad once let out but in the end they all calm down and most are very nice dogs.
Last for their walk today was...

Damalsa.


A beautiful dog who pulled away and just wanted to play with the other dogs on the training field.
I could control him but I don't know how owners of larger dogs who's dog is not trained can be safe when faced with a difficult situation.

This brings me to next weeks four hour release from my caring duties. After talking to the trainer today I plan to take some action pictures of dogs on the training circuit, so depending on the weather I will be getting my larger camera out to take some action shots or if the weather dictates it will be down to the canal to see who's about.
