If Lucky weren't such a proper boy-dog, one could accuse him of trying to imitate The Flying Nun.

Day Trippers
When we first adopted Lucky, I decided to start work later on a Thursday, to spend the day with him. I go in at 4, giving us plenty of time for 2 good walks. I like it, because it's my private time with him. Usually we're up Calton Hill in the morning and Arthur's Seat in the afternoon.
Today, we decided to venture further afield. We took the bus to Fairmilehead, and walked up in the Pentland Hills for a couple of hours. Lucky, as always, enjoyed the bus journey. He even made a friend!
The climb is a bit steep for me, a breeze for Lucky. There was almost no one else there at all, so it was incredibly peaceful. Once we hit the long grass, Lucky, as is his habit, charges around in huge circles at terrific high speed. It's a sight to behold, a powerful and fit young dog at peak strength running as fast as he can. This is why hill dog walks really are best for him.
The views, of course, are stunning.
You can just about make out the Forth Rail Bridge.
And it's always a bit incongruous to see people skiing in the warm air at the Snowsports dry ski slopes.
By the time we boarded our bus home, Lucky was tired. And when he's tired, comfort becomes paramount. He could not understand why he wasn't allowed to use the comfy bus furniture. I had to explain. But once we found our spot, he slept for the entire 1 hour journey back.

Autumn Leaves
I know that I'm biased, but isn't this happy boy a total looker?
He's on the hunt for squirrels; he will never get one, but he keeps his chin up.
