Dog Walking

A nice sunny afternoon, although the short rain in the morning was welcome for the garden.
We took our Terriers Poppy and Jessie for a run on their favourite Norland Moor this time to the paths where there a a number of seats we can rest on while they root around in the small stream running by.
There were lots of other dogs on walks and our managed to get into TWO scraps, first with a wire haired terrier and the owner had to jump into the stream to get his dog away from ours, they just did not like each other.And then we reached the last seat by the stream another dog, much bigger and very friendly, came rushing up and suddenly a fight started. We think Jessie, the Border type is the one that gets ' stuck in ' first. No damage done and Jessie put on the lead again.
Then 2 ladies with collies, and throwing balls for them - Poppy likes that game and was away chasing until they went some distance and she decided we were the best company.
We next encountered a Horse and Rider and the dogs decided it was too big to tackle and stayed quite.
We then went for a drink, wine for Roma and a Beer for me at the Spring Rock Pub near the Moor, a favourite place for the locals.
On the way home called at a Garden centre for a bag of compost.
