Survey says... NO! lol! <br /><br />You know, I recently looked at a real estate listing for a mini-farm on top of a mountain. I'm not in the market for a new home, but this one was brought to my attention, and it spoke to that part of me that would love to live out in the wilderness again. Then I stopped. I pictured it... "Laaaaddddddyyyy!!!" "Oh Laaaddddddy! Come!" Oh how they would all love to roam. If I lived out where they could run off leash, the ones I'd lose for 10 minutes or 3 hours would probably be Lucky and Katie. They're the ones that follow their noses. And that would drive Lady crazy, since her mission in life is to keep us all together and protected. Funny to think about. But yes, Murdoch came to mind as I imagined my peaceful mountaintop life with lots of land.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734831781770841734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1857834966842567237.post-5906130691489300632011-10-04T07:45:58.317-04:002011-10-04T07:45:58.317-04:00One can always hope :)One can always hope :)Heather Pedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00437608758801235095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1857834966842567237.post-57577898956880099182011-10-02T04:35:16.734-04:002011-10-02T04:35:16.734-04:00Dogs thinking about the effects on us of their act...Dogs thinking about the effects on us of their actions!

I know I do daily.<br /><br />I wonder if these dogs of ours have any inkling of the stress they cause us when they take off like that. I doubt it, but it would be nice if they felt some sort of remorse. :)<br /><br />At least your dog was exhausted when he returned. I have a feeling Murdoch just hung out in the woods for a few hours that day sniffing things and not off galavanting through the trees like I imagined.Heather Pedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00437608758801235095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1857834966842567237.post-71815143294260483612011-09-30T04:13:30.008-04:002011-09-30T04:13:30.008-04:00I love your blogs!

Usually they just return, as Murdoch did.<br /><br />Once my Pharoah Hound shot off after deer on our local heathland and I spent hours roaming round in the hope of finding him. Then suddenly there he was, half a mile away and looking exhausted. With Pharoahs, that's not a problem. I just whistled and his head immediately turned in my direction. They have fabulous hearing and excellent eyesight. When he staggered up to me, I picked him up and carried him to our car - I couldn't do that now.<br /><br />I commented on Pharoahs' ears and eyes; what I didn't mention is their complete lack of commonsense!Dunkeredhttp://aol.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1857834966842567237.post-14934633611926831692011-09-29T12:46:14.404-04:002011-09-29T12:46:14.404-04:00Yes, Murdoch is a piece of work.

He's really not THAT bad, but those are the pros and cons of living where we do: he gets to run off leash when we walk the trail, but sometimes he finds something really great to chase and then I become invisible. Usually he is only gone for ten minutes, not three hours, thank goodness.Heather Pedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00437608758801235095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1857834966842567237.post-28476208520304085992011-09-28T18:19:23.782-04:002011-09-28T18:19:23.782-04:00I wonder, do you find yourself calling "Murdo...I wonder, do you find yourself calling "Murdoch!! Murrrrrrrdoch!!!!" "Here Murds!" in your sleep? :) That dog sure loves to roam, doesn't he? Good thing you live in a place where that's possible - even if it does mean a bit of stress and searching from time to time!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734831781770841734noreply@blogger.com
