    Running the Mutts in the city

    Not a lot of fun running the dogs in the city but I am lucky to have a native forest at the bottom of my section next to the harbour bridge .I also have a big grass area on the old Takapuna rubbish dump site where this old house I managed once that sat on Takapuna beach .... Nice shot of the young dog having a leg stretch Name:  IMG_1590.jpg

    That's part of the Rosmini playing fields isn't it? I used to live on the other side of that field, down behind Barry's Point in an industrial complex (great for making tons of noise at night, no-one hears so no-one complains)

    yes , I used to shoot my blank gun down there in the old days with no hassles but now I think it would be the armed defenders visiting lol--I used to have 200 people plus party's in that house and hose it out with the fire hose --Hello Sailor played in the lounge !!

    My neighbour got raided. Knew he was a fruit loop, but wasn't expecting : clan lab, 2 stolen supercharged f150s, stolen r32 gtrs x 2, r33 gtr x 1, a v12 merc, drugs, scanners, aaaaand a porn studio! Police took a week to cataloge everything, so I had a cop with an ar15 guarding my car on the shared driveway for a week.

    Taka is a colourful place

    You better pick up after your dog El B, we use to play soccer after work there, would make things interesting to run into some English brownies.

    That native forest you talk about, should have a covey of calis in there. Came across a flock of 10 maybe just at the The Warehouse head-office on the parking just over a year ago.
    Saw a bloody male cali in Takapuna Grammar School about a month ago. Got the dog all fired up for a minute, left me stunned.

    i wish it had coveys of quail but no such luck !!! I have a pair -or what was a pair living near the house .I believe a cat has killed the female and the poor male is all alone calling .I used my quail call the other day to call him in and did he come in at speed thinking he had found his true love once again ...only to find me hahahaha I am going to buy another few and let them loose near home as the sound of quail calling in the city is nice ! Ar you playing on Rosmini grounds or up on the old tip site next to the golf driving range --years ago i could train on pheasants there but those days are gone
    A good dog person always picks up their pooooooo hahahaha except the watery stuff

    Top idea releasing them, can you have an aviary and breed them for release where you are ?

    Is that young dog out of Devine's breeding? It has that look about it.
