lovely autumn morning

It is a lovely morning and I decided to take the boys to Beddington Park. I normally take them there during the summer months, so the boys can get wet in the very clear clean water but we haven't been this summer as we had a bit of trouble last summer. There were some children with untrained big dogs (a couple of Staffies, a Terrier X and a couple of other big dogs) and they had a go at Saturn and Titan last summer everytime we went there, so I thought I will not go there during the Summer holidays in future.

The boys like Beddington Park, it is a fairly big park with lots of trees, there are plenty of squirrels and they like to chase them. Also, it is one of Sing's favourite as he can get wet! Sing likes anywhere with water and Beddington Park has a lovely clean clear stream.

Here are the boys (minus Seagull) happily playing in the freezing cold water!!

When I first have Sizzle, he was very careful not to get dirty and he always sat there watching Sing and the other played in the pond/lake, never really dare to go near the bank but now I am very proud to say he is another swimming sheltie! He is not afraid of water and he actually enjoying being in the water other than the bath! Picture above: He gets dirty by chasing the crows and fell in the muddy ditch this morning!! Saturn, my handsomest boy with the softest look. Eventhough he is big but he is the most gentle and softest. We always call him Gentle Giant! He has a very strong sense for squirrels and rabbits and anything he would like to chase. He can spot/sense a squirrel/rabbit from a very far distance. He had caught a few rabbits so far but he is so gentle that he did not kill any of them. He always brought them back to me (drop the rabbit in front of me and put his paw on the rabbit) and I let him sniff for a few minutes and tell him to "let go" and he will release the rabbit and let him go, he has not draw any blood on them at all. What a gentle boy he is! Also, he likes to chase coot in the pond and the coot is normally the one that makes him swim in the open water!

All the boys minus Seagull.

Found this unusual looking duck, he has a different coloring and marking to the others, very pretty.
