We had to sit there, gripping the arms of the chair, looking up at his great hairy nostrils, watching the strings of the drill go round and slow as he pressed harder. It was fickung barbaric

Yeah, I remember those drills.

Just been on the coldest, wettest, windiest, miserable shoot I’ve ever been on. They called a halt on it halfway through. Soaked through to my pants and socks and tipped a cup of water out of each Wellington boot when I got home. Both me and Susie were frozen through. Got home, gave her a warm bath and then had a hot shower myself.

Did you have fun though?

Did you have fun though?

No, I didn’t. Susie did though and that’s the only reason I go. She's getting on now, 13 years old next May, this may be her last season for going on shoots. Doesn’t have the strength anymore to push through thick brambles, more so as the day goes on.

Me too!

Time you got her a stair-lift..

I used to work with an American guy who lived in a flat above a dental surgery. One day he noticed a chair outside so he asked the dentist why the chair was outside, throwing it out for a newer model, so he commandeered four blokes from next door and they carried it up to his flat. It was a little more streamlined that the one in the pic but not too dissimilar, when he went back to America I inherited it and it went in the lounge in our first house. Not many people had hydraulically operated recliners in them days so we were on the cutting edge of style.

Awww.

I so wanted her to have enjoyed it, primarily because working dogs usually do enjoy shoots.

But also so you could have said, "Me and Susie had so much fun...."

I see what you did there. Unfortunately, no hands were held and no stones were skimmed……

 

[securespark]

You would have held her paws when you got back and dried them off!

You got me on the stone skimming though ....

You got me on the stone skimming though ....

I remember when rock was young
Me and Susie had so much fun
Holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy, and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
Was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were rocking 'round the clock
We were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock, well
Crocodile rocking is something shocking
When your feet just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
Oh, lawdy mama those Friday nights
When Suzie wore her dresses tight
And the Crocodile rocking was out of sight
Laa, la-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-laa
But the years went by and the rock just died
Suzie went and left me for some foreign guy
Long nights crying by the record machine
Dreaming of my Chevy and old blue jeans
But they'll never kill the thrills we've got
Burning up to the Crocodile Rock
Learning fast as the weeks went past
We really thought the Crocodile Rock would last, well
Crocodile rocking is something shocking
When your feet just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time and I guess, I never will
Oh, lawdy mama those Friday nights
When Suzie wore her dresses tight
Crocodile rocking was out of sight
Laa, la-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-laa

La-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-laa

La-la-la-la-laa
La-la-la-la-laa

I doubt a dog could 'skim stones', although Harry could probably cobble together a device that would attach to the paw to enable it to.

 

[securespark]

I doubt a dog could 'SKIM STONES',

although Harry could probably "COBBLE"

Very good .......
