Greetings Friends! Well of course we can smile! I heard the humans say if dogs could smile the Cloth Dog would be, duh well look at me.... I'm smiling!
Yippee, hooray, it's a Dartmoor doggy day! My favourite place in the world for a lovely winter walk. The sun was shining, the bushes were ripe for sniffing and peeing on and my naughty puppy was occupied with dashing and playing and chasing.
I always know when we're in luck and about to escort the humans on to the moor..... we head up this little track. The edges are great for sniffing and it's definitely a doggy racetrack, Milo might be fast but I make up for his speed with experience.

He is rather prone to prancing and dancing and forgetting which way he's supposed to be going...
I think he rather enjoys running around in the long moorland grass!
I have to keep my wits about me as he is prone to flybys at great speed. Oops this photo shows that even the inside of my ears are going grey, honestly folks if you had to bring up this pup and look after the humans your ears would be grey too!
There's always time for a quick look at the view in amongst running around. Sometimes we'll explore far and wide over those hills but today we made do with a bit of a meander, splash and soak up of the sun - it feels great on my back :-)
Just when I was enjoying the view it came from nowhere... beep, beep, zoom! Come back here rascal!
Have you ever seen such funny ears on a pup? Tehehe they rather make me smile just looking at them.....
One final thing before we head home. I've spied a little bit of a swimming spot, time for some peace and quiet in the chilly water - one place the puppy won't follow! Something about it being cold, he needs to grow a labrador coat, no worries here!
You know what folks? Us dogs definitely can smile.... I'm doing it right here, loving being a Dartmoor Dog.
Woofs and Wags everyone, have a lovely weekend. I'm looking forward to an afternoon snuggled with my mistress bonding with my next pup in the making, babysitter Murph at the ready.... I've heard that my ears will make the best baby comforter..... ah well guess I can cope ;-) I wonder if Human Foal will call me their Cloth Dog too? I sure hope so!
Wow, those hills are so beautiful and so sunny and warm and GREEN and warm...did I say that already? My brain is so frozen that I almost couldn't bear to look at all that green and sun and....Maybe I need to move to the other side of the pond.
ReplyDeleteStunning photos, it's so good to see big doggy smiles.:)
So glad you like the photos! The hills are still fairly green but not much goodness in them for the stock that are out all year round, they are also deceptive as much of the green is hoof sucking bog! Definitely warmer than you guys, about 5 C here at the moment with that wonderful thing to go with it - RAIN, again! Hope you get a respite from the cold soon!
DeleteOh you boys are as just beautiful as that lovely countryside.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful , we too would be very happy to be there !
Fantastic to see you all looking so happy now that it has stopped raining :)
We three dogs from WIllows' Farm (Jayda , Cricket and Gabby T. Terrier) wish you a happy weekend of tail wags and tasty treats ! BArk on :))
Hey Pup Friends! Glad you like our doggy playpark, it sure is pretty especially when the rain stops for just a little while. Sending you woofs, wags and licks for a happy weekend too xxx
DeleteLove the ears!!
ReplyDeleteThink Milo has been trying to pretend he's a mule LOL!
DeleteThose hills are so beautiful. I would love to see that for myself one day. Good thing Milo is so tall, Morris would get 'stuck' in that grass!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Have a great weekend too. It's a beautiful landscape, some find it a bit desolate but we love the different seasons and are lucky on this tiny, over populated island to find our little corner of peace :-)
DeleteThis was the best post... and the pictures of the dogs coursing... wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you liked it Mary Ann, it gives us such joy seeing the gang enjoy themselves so much, they can't hide their pleasure - animals remind us of the joy that is all around if we look :-)
DeleteWhat a lovely place for the pups to go play in. Very mule-like ears Milo xx
ReplyDeleteSweet smiles and speedy paws!. My dear Milo and darling Murph, ah, the joy of riding the wind. Love the action shots and ears a-flapping!. Milo shows the finest Sighthound flying style. We know well about that speeding up and forgetting the way :-). Murph, darling, you are so full of energy --and patience!. No doubt that all your velvety ears will make the cosiest of baby comforters.
ReplyDeleteKisses and on your pretty muzzles ♥
"kisses and scratches"
DeleteAh dearest Carmen, we knew you would understand the joy of riding the wind and feeling the breeze flapping our ears :-) The speeding pups is great at acceleration but not so good at slowing down.... good job I keep an eye on him!
DeleteCan't wait to offer my ears (and tail, and eyelids and soft jowls and wet nose :-) as baby comforter extraordinaire!
Woofs and Wags - Murph xxx
There's a lurcher here that definitely smiles, so yes dog do smile :) Love your pictures and the fun Milo is having.
ReplyDeleteWe can certainly confirm that William can smile :-) And what a smile it is too! Woofs and wags to all xxx
