Glensman Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I still think it's too warm for them to be here in any numbers... I'll probably wait on the first frost. Tryin to get the dog's fitness up between now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait to you see my dog- there'll be no getting that fatty fit. I've been away all year so she's been getting very little exercise and all the neighbours are feeding her. There's no way of telling what she's had in a day and dogs bein dogs she lets on she's hungry when she isn't at all! But if the rain keeps off I'll maybe get some of the weight off her...

Glensman Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I'll put it this way, my six pack is well buried too! She'd be grand only that I've been away most of the last 5 years and I'm the only one that walks and works her. She's mainly a pet now and as I say, the neighbours love her and leave out chicken and other food. They're givin her the best of stuff and she's 10 now so I doubt if there's any point in me bustin my balls tryin to get her back to how she should be or telling the neighbours to stop. I'll try to get a bit of weight off her for her own sake... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballymac Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Moneystaghan: 94ha. Situated halfway between Portglenone and Bellaghy. An area of lowland blanket bog planted in mid 1970s. Good habitat for game birds with a history of being managed for game shooting with rides and other open areas. Contains some exceptionally wide rides. The habitat is also suitable for migrating ducks which frequent it and woodcock. Marshy and moorland habitat in the vicinity which attract snipe Any of you boys from the Antrim area know of this place. Apparently the shooting rights are up for lease (currently vacant) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
