Excellent post! And really great dogs you've got there - From their looks I can tell that they are very happy getting their picture taken.
Excellent shots of your garden and pets Philip. You live in a beautiful part of the world. Your dogs look as though they're enjoying the water to the full. More please.
S-H,..and Eileen,..i was pleased to get such nice responses!,..yes i live within 100 yards of the River Shannon,..and upriver its only a few minutes by boat to Lough Ree,..the two dogs certainly enjoy the location,..and myself of course!,..me having being born in the City of Dublin really appreciate the wilderness.
Video====Hudson. Hudson,..she is now aged 16 years,..i have had her from two months old,..a tad deaf and diminished eyesight,..but still going strong. ( photo / image / picture from Philip Nulty's Garden )
Gosh Philip she doesn't look like a 16 year old. As long as she continues to enjoy life then that's the main thing isn't it? :-D
Eileen,..that picture is a recent one,..taken about a month ago!,..the old girl is doing well,..no real problems at all,..so knock on wood,..the other dog,..Molly is only 5 years old,..she is a Tri Colored Springer,..where as Hudson is a Jack Russell/Beagle Mix.
Both Jack Russell's and Beagles are long-lived dogs (on average) so, hopefully, you'll have Hudson for a long while yet. The oldest dog we had at our veterinary practice was 25 years old and a Border Collie.
What a very lovely area you live in. I enjoyed the tour of your gardens and the music enhances the beauty. I also enjoyed seeing the scenery where you walk the dogs, they are very lucky. I will have to come back to finish viewing the others as I have chores to tackle. Thanks for sharing and welcome to the Stew. I love seeing all the gardens from around the world.
