Well Zebedee has made himself at home in the new vanView attachment 91679

Lucky pup. Hope he wipes his paws.

 

[Polomint]

For all you dog owners out in cali land, thought this would brighten your day

 

[The Merle]

He maybe 11 but handled snowdon Monday then weds took on the nantlle ridge (way tougher than striding edge!).

 

[The Merle]

We couldn’t leave wales without doing one of are fav walks (Friday).
The horse shoe loop with a quick exist off pen y fan to avoid the tourists.
Zeb was well and truly knackered!

 

[willwander]

Bless him. He’s in good shape for 11. All that exercise keeps him young.

That's an aussie shepherd, right? I read it takes some effort to knacker one of them, so good job! beautiful dog btw . In contrast my lab would often sit half way up a mountain hike and refuse to keep walking up, but happily trot on the way down wagging his tail. Lazy bugger

Close, he’s a blue Merle border collie. The aussie are a bit bigger but look very similar.
He’s 11 but if I said walk he would still go until he dropped dead that’s the breed they just want to work!

Back to some nice chilled out flat walks, just as stunning with all the bluebells out.

Spent bank holiday Monday spring cleaning the inside of the van, in reality, removing the evidence of more than 3 years occupation by our two chocolate labs, Chester and Benn(ington). Quite pleased with the results…


The reason being preparation for our first trip of the year next week to Dover to collect a new member of the family. Anyone familiar with my existing name theme might be able to guess the name…

Meet… Charlie

He’s a Swedish Vallhund

 

[The Merle]

New Forest?

Nope, think all the ponies and donkeys would munch on the bluebells.
It’s over near Salisbury plain, some nice quiet hidden woods good place to go on busy bank holidays.

looks very peaceful And tranquil. I’m down Maenporth not to far from the beach not very busy actually down this way. The campsite is quite basic but that’s fine, seems a good few that come here for the kayaking.

 

[The Merle]

Unfortunately the mini Zebedee look alike isn’t with us, but I did try pinching her

 

[The Merle]

Still managing to enjoy the mountains last week before heatwave

Is that the Black Mountains?

 

[The Merle]

Round the other side of Fan y big, nice loop walk.

 

[The Merle]

I’m not sure how many more summits he has left in him.
Knackered again after a quick dash up the rangers path (snowdon) yesterday.

Poor fella, how old is he now? he is living the life!

Just yesterday my neighbor forwarded me a pic of merle collies needing a home... I'm trying to resist...

 

[themagician]

Another tired merle!
Scout - almost 12 months old and loving the van

 

[The Merle]

Zebedee nose was just like that when he was younger, went all black when he got older.

I’m getting tempted to get another one, tough as Zeb has some great traits he could pass on (but some bad too!).
Great dogs for travelling and hiking, if you can’t cope with all the hair in that lovely cali give me a shout and I’ll come pinch him

He nearly 11 1/2 now has slowed down loads in the mountains, on the flat he’s still mental.
Go for it, great dogs.

 

[The Merle]

Another summit, sat up on Aran for over an hour with no one else about (yesterday).
You could hear the faint noises from the mental ness of snowdon!
