Shopping For Harry Part 3

Camera Critters

Last year Harry turned ten years old and in the same year we discovered he had arthritis. He's on tablets to help him (which he thinks are a great treat) and his walks have grown shorter. Sometimes he takes a breather mid walk. Some neighbours seeing him sprawled out on the grass recently have rushed out to see if he is alright. "Has he collapsed?" they say. But he's only resting. There's still a lot of life left in this old chap. We decided to get him a dog coat during the winter - see the blog entries where we spent all week choosing; Shopping For Harry and then changed our mind: Shopping For Harry Part 2 ; and then bought something else at the last minute - the Sherlock Hound number he is wearing in these two pictures. He just wears it when it's wet really. Not that he minds getting wet. He's still an eager aqua-dog. He was swimming in the river Ribble today - sans coat thankfully.

Weekend Reflections

This is Engine Bridge on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal near Wheelton. Don't worry about our equine friends on the bridge. They aren't actually loose on a road. There isn't a road there at all. The bridge just links some stables to some pasture land. The canal here sometimes attracts anglers trying to snag Bream, Chub, Roach, Rudd or Tench. If you look closely you can see a couple of intrepid ducks cutting up the reflections with their wake.
