This old oak tree is a favourite place for the squirrels to chase round in and out of the holes in the trunk. I was watching them from the kitchen window ,whilst I was having my coffee . Hope you can see the squirrel it is just above the hole at the bottom of the the trunk.
What a wonderful old tree. These old oak trees support such an enormous amount of wildlife....includinig squirrels of course! Great view! Thought of you yesterday...we were up at the Festival Hall yesterday and in one of the shops was a large amount of souvenirs from the new Tintin film.....so many types of Snowys :-) I do hope you and Snowy get some in your Christmas stocking!
@Cherrill Sad to tell you Snowy has gone to a new home. A nearby farmer said they were pleased to have him as their 16 yr.Jack Russell had died . We felt it was difficult to keep him due to my ongoing knee problems etc.. It was a hard decision to make and we really miss him. But we can visit him any time, I rang up today to see if he was settling in and they said he was fine and had caught a rabbit, so it sounds like he is having fun.
@snowy Oh my goodness Diana!! I am so sorry.....what a terribly hard decision for you to make....wow I feel quite teary!! I won't go on becasue I'm sure it must be hard for you.....I hope he is having a wonderful time and sorry I had to even mention it!
Fabulous tree and I can spot that squirrel! Sounds like a good compromise with Snowy - still close enough to visit but without the jumping up problems. He must be full of himself actually catching a rabbit and that will keep the farmer happy!!
Yes I can see him ! The funny thing about squirrels is that i always understood them to be a hibernating animal but nowadays they seem to be about all winter raiding our bird tables! Perhaps there is no need now for them to hide their nuts for the winter when there is a constant food supply !
@snowy Just read about Snowy Diana, what a hard decision to be made !!! We will miss him on your 365 page !! I am sure you will have made sure he is a happy dog !!! A farm life for a dog is a very happy one !!!
@happypat Thank you for your comment Pat, I will still be able to put some pictures of Snowy on 365 we will be visiting him once he has time to settle in his new home, also they will most likely take up our offer to look after him when they go away
@judithg I think you have meet Snowy so you will know what a lively little dog he is wanting to get out for lots of long walks. but as I said it was a very hard decision, and of course we miss him.
Oh okay, I see you just mentioned it here. That sounds like a HUGE decision you made, and in Snowy's best interests too but oh my gosh, what a hard decision. I'm glad you get to see him--I think I'm going to miss him myself!
@clarissajohal It was really hard to part with Snowy he has been with us for about 6 years , he belonged to our son went to live in Thailand we took him on . He became part of the family and we loved having him . But he needs lots of exercise and it seemed best for him, but we are really missing him
I do see him Diana. Wonderful shot. You did the right thing for Snowy. A very hard decision, I'm sure, but you did what was best for him. Plus you can still see him. :-) Very unselfish of you.
