Please tell me its not just my dog.
Discussion
For some reason dog has started being a bit nutty when out on his walk. He has suddenly taken to launching himself in to fields full of wheat and piling round them at full plet, head down in big circles. Funny to watch but I am begining to suspect that his constant head shaking is due to have wheat in his ears.

Yes actually, seeing as I know the farmer who owns the field out the back of our house and he gave me permission to walk my dogs on it and I have actually been chatting to him while one of them has done it.The damage they do is infinitesimal. So
back at you 
Mine is on a mission too for birds though
Really overdid the chasing about earlier in the week, she was panting so much and gulped lots of water only to bring it back again.She is fine but I am restricting her off lead time ATM She had a good old tussle with a crow at the weekend though - viscious thing.

Fair enough if you have permission, but let me tell you a little story. I'm lucky enough to live in the wilds of Wiltshire surrounded by farmland which is owned by a gentleman farmer, who incidentally, is a peer of the realm and talks a bit like Prince Charles, but that's another story! The damage they do is infinitesimal. So
back at you Some years ago, he sold me a 7 acre field, which owing to various obstacles, is not suitable for cultivation. I have left it to grow wild and it has become a haven for all sorts of wildlife including some quite rare butterflies; just trying to do my bit for conservation. It is all fenced off and there is a sign on the gate to say it is private land and a conservation area, but come every weekend we have Wayne and Waynetta Townie plus dogs turn up; park up blocking the gateway and then think it's ok to climb the gate, lift their dogs over and generally run riot on my f
king land.If they get bored with that, they then cross the road and trample through the various crops before heading home to their 2 up, 2 down having had a "lovely day out in the country" as they would put it.
So maybe now you'll understand the
when we have to put up with some of these idiots every weekend.Edited to add I have two springers, so don't hate dogs, just some of their owners.

And before i get accused of jealousy, I have a field and a stable too. 
If you were rude enough to walk up my clearly marked as private property driveway, through my front garden, push past my car and ignore the many other private property signs on the way you would then have easy access to 100's of acres of fields and forest. In the spring and summer it happens about once a week. I now have little time for any of these fkers, i have taken to just pointing at the Private Property signs until they bugger off.
Edit to admit a massively childish thing;
During a very heated argument with one group of utter sts i told them that they wouldn't like me standing in their front garden, the obviously witty younger gent replied with "I live at such and such, you're more than welcome to come and return the favour".
The house in question was round the corner from my old flat in Camberley I knew where it was instantly, through a strange and honestly accidental set of circumstances 3 days later i was walking to the pub with a few mates past this very road at about 7pm.
It turns out he wasn't half as accomodating as he first implied he would be.

You couldn't tell where he has done it so I can't see the problem. Also consider that I have a permission on the same land so I think I am alright. Been shooting on there for years and the land owner doesn't seem to complain when I bring round pidgeons/rabbits and clear his yard of rats.Gassing Station | All Creatures Great & Small | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
