I am very fortunate, I spend more time with the dogs, horses, sheep and pigs than I do with humans. The Alpacas are back again so life is perfect. The townies will be out at the weekend and the Alpacas seem to regard chasing ramblers as the pinnacle of entertainment.
Certain 'ramblers' deserve to be chased away by the Alpacas. We also have quad bikes, trail bikes, and push bikes, coming past the house at weekends. Nothing we can do about it other than to cross our fingers that we don't have too many.
I don't think there is any welcome as exuberant as a dog's welcome. No one could be in any doubt that those dogs were more than happy to see their person again.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!

ReplyDeleteMe too, I shall be going out very soon with Billie. We shall visit the woods to find the final few Cepes of the season.
DeleteLovely video. When you dream..Do you dream in English or French ?

DeleteThat's an awesome welcome home.
ReplyDeleteI think we'd all like to be welcomed like that!
DeleteI don't think there is any welcome as exuberant as a dog's welcome. No one could be in any doubt that those dogs were more than happy to see their person again.
ReplyDeleteAnd how nice to be greeted like that.
DeleteIt would take a very hard heart not to smile and love.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful sight.
DeleteRick will be all over my daughter like that when she gets home on leave tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteLucky her. Billy is always pleased to see me when I get back from shopping, but hardly in the same league.
DeleteMy Beano is a Jack Russel cross and he greets me like that even if I've just been gone a few minutes.
ReplyDeleteHow nice. My Billy usually ignores me, unless I arrive by car.
DeleteSo joyful as the pack leader returns.
ReplyDeleteYou couldn't have a better homecoming.
DeleteHere, if someone had dogs unleashed in a public space, there would be some hysterical person to squawk about it.
ReplyDeleteThere's always a misery-guts hiding in the undergrowth. Luckily not many would complain at this sight.
DeleteDoesn't Mrs Magnon greet you like that when you've been away?
ReplyDeleteNo, she just bites me!
DeleteLovely
ReplyDeleteWhat a greeting!
DeleteMy grandad had a Jack Russell and I think that's what kept him going.
ReplyDeleteThey're lovely dogs, I always wanted a 'Parson' variety.
