Just some random photos from when we have been out walking with the dogs. I'm a keen amateur photographer so I like to take my camera on a lot of the dog walks.

Hope proving that even champions can look goofy

summer 2006 at Muiravonside

We try and encourage the natural retrieve instinct whether it be game or just searching in the long grass for that tennis ball.

Faith

we even see some wildlife like this beautiful butterfly

The dogs love chasing the ball

They even bring it back!

and of course no walk for the Linirgor's is complete with out a dip in the water

Faith

And of course even when it is cold the dogs still need out for their walks

Below is a selection of photos from Gartmorn Dam and Country Park taken Sunday 3rd September '06

Gartmorn Dam Country Park is over 300 acres centered around the large dam which was constructed in the early eighteenth century by the 6th Earl of Mar. This is Scotland's oldest artificial reservoir.

Unfortunately I couldn't take too many dogs to the dam as the dogs are not allowed to swim in the water. So this time I only took the three girls - Hope, Joy and Breagh. (the ones that would listen to me when I told them that they weren't allowed to swim today)

However Joy was very tempted to go in especially when there are all those ducks just waiting to be chased

and swans

But she was a good girl and resisted temptation.

Breagh is an easy dog to take when they are told "no swimming" as she is the only Linirgor that doesn't actually swim.

Moooooo

The dam is enjoyed by lots of people cyclists, walker's and of course it is a popular area for fishing.

I think you will agree this is a beautiful part of Scotland.

Freya has discovered a liking for muddy puddles

They are good to have a cool down in after a walk

And good for dipping your nose in!

This is where the dogs get walked everyday

And this is the pond they swim in. Given the chance they will go for a swim even in the winter.

Breagh aged 10 but she still goes all the same walks as the younger dogs

Hope loves her walks she runs non stop usually in amongst the pine trees to see what she can find.

Freya is always carrying a stick but it is usually just to show off and make the other dogs want to chase her.

Stella is by far the grottiest and always makes a B line for some water or in this case stinky ditches.

Bailey coming through the tunnel

Breagh, is the only Linirgor that doesn't swim she prefers to sit and watch.
