Autumn Time

Living here in Caithness, I have learnt more about the seasons and what to expect in wildlife than I did while was in the Ballindalloch area. Maybe it is because I am older, no not wiser, and taking the dogs out every morning for their walk. Well Belle, our Cocker, does not so much walk as drags me along. As with all cocker's, life is so exciting and interesting. Each new step brings a new smell that just has to be followed. Louie, our Black Lab, is only interested in his ball and when can he play, with me with it. Given up buying Louie new footballs, they now get puncher in a couple of day with Belle's help. He look a sad sight carrying his totally deflated ball in his mouth but not in his eyes, Louie is in heaven.
