A walk

hope your dog dies

Starting with this comment by Sprinty, the thread is wildly off topic ..

Absolutely!

BTW sprint, this is the dog you want to die:


Somehow I think she has more spirituality and more brainpower than you do.

Awww such a lovely dog too Monk. Sooo cute!

Don't worry about stupid Sprint .. he's obviously nothing more than a disturbed nutter who needs a lot of help

I had hoped all the crap the usual bimbos had added to my thread here would be gone by now! Yes, sprint you are the bimbos’ bimbo! When I read blond jokes in my head I make them Sprint jokes, sometimes Lisa jokes

Anyway, another walk today. Skipped the Eagle on the Hill to Stirling and Stirling to Birdwood stretches of the Pioneer Women’s Trail and drove straight to Birdwood, parking in the shoppincentre carpark there.

As soon as I opened the door I knew we were higher than yesterday—quite a chill in the air despite today being less overcast and sunnier than yesterday. Walked over to the Birdwood Mill where the 110yo mill wheel was slowly turning with the usual lovely groaning-creaking-grumbling noises under the influence of water from Cox creek.

From there headed back down a bit, through the short tunnel under the interstate railway where a creek flows through as well, creating a marvellous rushing-water sound when it is really flowing. Today the creek was more sedate and not much noise, unfortunately. On to the tunnel under the freeway. Send the dog to the far side then call her. Because of the acoustics of the tunnel my little dog running back to me sounds like a squadron of cavalry

All this stretch of the Trail is bloody beautiful: everything is green except the imported trees which were showing vivid fall colors. Kookaburras were laughing all round and why not? I’d be laughing if I was living there rent free too! Back to the Mill.

From the Mill down to the last stretch of the Trail that is still possible to walk (the very last stage is not doable because an old wooden bridge has been declared unsafe by Dept Roads.

Nicest bit of this stretch is down behind the Bridgewater oval (the goal posts of which would puzzle Annie ,) along the creek into the creek onto an outcrop and up the other bank. After that it is more boring along streets including a cruel bit up a long, steeply sloping street

Was fucking glad to get back to the car again and between you me and the gatepost I think the dog was too!

Relaxing now with a Hoppinator double IPA—I consider it a pleasant Mild but too dark and not hoppy enough for even a single IPA

Good long walk today!

Oh poor monk, want me to massage your lovely legs?

Sprint was mean. i am unsure whether a dog counts as a family member under the PA guidelines, (under which family members of PA members should not be abused) but it would seem to me it would be pretty close.

I am not sure why there is so much enmity between Monk and Sprint- on ozpolitic- when i used to post there- Sprint seemed ok, although of different politics than me. I don't think eh ha sposted much politics since he came back though- nto that i have looekd much yet- been very busy today.

Sprint is such a minor nuisance I don’t take much notice of what he says as it is all repetitive shit like “biased leftard mod” etc. His wishing my dog dead IS a new low for the immature twit but I am not expecting or asking for any action to be taken.

I just wish all the bimbo rubbish could be removed from this thread.

Tomorrow is tracking practice—more walking, groan! But a tracking trial is on in a few weeks so don’t want to miss any practice sessions. Demi is good at tracking, less so, markedly less so in obedience. Two obedience trials this weekend, the reason I have made these long walks with Demi, satisfy her need for exercise.

Am reasonably confident she will pass at least one of these trials and so gain her Companion Dog title, after that we will go for Companion Dog Excellent!
