We All Walk

My turn yesterday to take the dogs for a walk, so I thought I would pop over to Clothie to check out the grass situation.  Snow is forecast and I want to know my options.

There was a loud wailing and I turned around to see Monster following.  I couldn’t really miss him in the hill. He is the only animal I have that stands out.  Everyone else blends in nicely to almost total invisibility.

Clothie is a lovely field – exactly five acres and very useful.  It is situated a short walk across the scattald (open hill).

There is an old croft house which was once used as a Free Church School, possibly around the 19th century. It is mentioned in our Parish Records.

Anyway, the cat, two dogs and I all walked the perimeter fence with made a nice walk.

As Daisy would say (and I bet she does when she reads this) “aww, look at him go!”

 

Ted and Pepper had a fine time too.

There was hunting.

And even some sitting and thinking.

Probably best not to ask what Monster was thinking about.  He never stopped shouting, though.

    WOW Monster is really getting his steps in. Actually all of you are !!
    Hope the snow doesn’t come with biting winds.
    We are expecting snow and cold weather for the next four days, but we never pass up water.
    stay safe.

    Inspiring to see Monster running around and on the go! My cat, Skiptamalou, has spent pretty much this entire winter day worshiping the wood stove!

    I just can’t believe that Monster comes along with you on your walks. He may be part dog! So fun to see your pics. Glad you had a nice walk!

    Being able to walk around an old Croft like that seems like such a wonderful way to spend some time. Imagine the stories within those walls. Thanks for inviting us along.
