Doggy motorway.

I think there must have been over fifty dogs walking past our doorway today!
It seems to be a short cut from the village over the main road to the footpaths over the fields.
This is Connie’s preferred walk, straight over the main road at the bottom of this lane & off her lead sniffing & snuffing!
These two massive St Bernard dogs walked past this morning, Connie happened to be visiting & said hello.

Three good things:
1. We visited the bungalow this morning & it was good to get ideas I hadn’t thought of from Cathy. They made sense.
2. A parcel from Amazon taken in by a neighbour!
3. Sitting out in the courtyard this afternoon reading...so many people to say hello as they pass by.

Great capture. We don't have a dog but everyday we see so many people out walking their dogs

[Alison Tomlin]

Good to know what everyone's up to! Friendly Lancashire folk.

[Sue Cooper]

I hope the owners always clear up after their dogs. Sorry, I’ve now removed my grumpy face, it’s just that there’s a lane near us which goes to the river and everyone with a dog seems to walk down this lane and it’s disgusting.

[Pat Knowles]

@susiemc Well they all seem to be in leads Sue & I haven’t seen anything I shouldn’t so far. I think most will save it for the proper dog walk across the road..there us a bin at the end of here.

[Pat Knowles]

@fueast Yes it’s very sociable I must say!

[carol white]

Obviously a popular spot for dog walking

[julia]

Reaĺly was a 'heavy traffic' area with those two beauties walking past.. Connie would of looked tiny compared .. Good to have some other eyes give you ideas that know you so well..

[Judith Greenwood]

Well I’m amazed that you don’t know everybody that walks past! And good on Connie for not being territorial!

[Joan Robillard]

Seems like you could sit out there, camera ready and get some good shots.

[Judith Johnson]

I don't think it was warm enough to sit out here today. Good to meet so many passers-by.

[Mave]

Lots of people to say Hello!

[Pat Knowles]

@judithg We are getting to know so many.....I hardly had time to read my book!

[Pat Knowles]

@busylady it’s a sheltered little courtyard in front of the house, will take a photo....this is just the through lane in front.

[Pat Knowles]

@joansmor @mave Lots to see that’s fir sure! I should have a clicker & count dogs as they go by!! @carolmw

[Pat Knowles]

@julzmaioro She did Julz, one if those dogs was only eight months old!

[Lesley]

How lovely to have friendly people stopping to have a chat.

[Dawn]

That is so nice if all well behaved

[Dianne]

A busy little spot! It’s nice you have somewhere handy that Connie can be off the lead.

[Judith Greenwood]

@happypat well that is a bit of a nuisance- you’re going to need a do not disturb sign!

[Bep]

Friendly people to have a chat with.

[Maggiemae]

Those two dogs wouldn't be racing down this lane - rather slow because of their size. Glad they don't leave anything though - that can be rather huge. I've gone off dogs because you have to clean up after them all the time!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae Not my favourite job I must say...we never had to do it before with our dogs as they pottered around the fields & farm themselves.

[Peter Dulis]

Nice

[Babs]

We have a lot of short cut paths here too from houses to the beach and luckily everyone with dogs always take their droppings home with them. We never see rubbish or litter on beaches either everyone is so well behaved.

[Phil Howcroft]

you can do dog spotting Pat, mark them off breed by breed ...any whippets yet

[Lynda McG]

Nice dogs - you are perfectly situated for a nice chatter with folks passing by the sound of it!

[Issi Bannerman]

I notice the owner is carrying a rather large black bag! A small dog is better from that point of view!

[Casablanca]

Clearly all drawn to your magnetic personality!!

[Pat Knowles]

@jamibann wow I never noticed that but you’re right....they must love those dogs! I’m not really a dog person but love our own of course...it took me a bit to get used to poo bags I must say!

[Pat Knowles]

@phil_howcroft I expect there have been some whippets Phil....seem to be lots of spaniels round here though.

[Dione Giorgio]

Lovely scene. The dogs are lucky there. My son's dogs and my daughter's dog have to be kept on a leash and walk on pavements in roads full of traffic.

[Cathy Donohoue]

I would love seeing 50 dogs walk by. I often prefer them to people. Hope they are all cleaned up after.

[Lou Ann]

Wow! I too would love to see the dog parade.

[Lois]

I’d love to sit and chat with new neighbors, especially those with dogs! I’m sure you’ll acquire several new friends!

[Barbara Paquette]

Having so many dogs go by would be such a challenge for Watson, he would expect every dog and its person to come and greet him and voices his invitations rather loudly and plaintively. I am sure my neighbors would not approve...heck, I don’t approve!
