Default Was it me? :D

Weggie Bloo 75 wiv a lil white dog standing on the windowsill wearing a Red coat and a Red Santa hat with a white pom pom on it. Parked outside the café in Etherow Country park this afternoon.. .

It is amazing how many people, men wimmen and children's, faces light up when they see the lil dog.. Either myself, or Jean take him to the park most days, and we park in the area reserved for the Country Wardens right outside the café. (I got permission to do so from the head warden years ago due to a lack of disabled parking spaces).

I think he must be the most photographed dog on the planet! Everyone stops to take his picture at this time of year. And over the last 4 years (He's only four years old) I think he must have had his picture taken many thousands of times..

I took this pic of him last year at Christmas time.. I will try to get a better one asap..



MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE, FROM BUTTON...aka Muppet...

>>>Did he chase the Ducks like at Thrybergh..??<<<

Oddly enuff Dave, he has never even looked at a duck since??? I think the lil mugger chased all the wildfowl at Thrybergh just to embarrass me and get me banned!!!!

He still earns lots of ASBO's though, coz he steals things, tea towels are is fav. But he seems to want anything that people have just used and put down where he can reach them... shoes, scarfs, gloves, slippers, settee throws etc etc. He just runs off with them, Seems to be an attention seeking thing, he hates being ignored innit.......... He loves going out in a car though....

This was supposed to be a photo of Corfe Castle -----------------

Ellow Ian, I hope you both have a lovely Christmas, and the floods don't get too troublesome.

Complete wiv sticky out tongue Colin?

Re the photo. I only took the one of the castle that day, I pulled in to let a passenger grab something from the boot, and took the pic holding the camera near my waist, it wasn't till I got back off my holiday I saw what Muppet had done to my photo!!
