Strangest thing seen while walking your cocker?

[Rats and Dogs]

OH was out with Sam today and saw a deer on his walk.  You may not think that's strange, but we live in Glasgow in a very busy residential area 

Unfortunately, it's not so strange now to see deer and foxes in Glasgow, they have been driven out of their natural habitat and have to survive in towns and cities.

There is a fox that hangs around behind my garden and we often see deer just up at Hoggenfield Loch and also at Drumpellier Loch. I also helped with one who had been knocked over in the East End on a main road.

A bull terrier on a skateboard. We see him regularly in Greenwich park and he's the most mellow bull terrier ever (even Bella quite likes him). His owner just gives the skateboard a shove now and then and he just rides along looking as happy as anything

Also once saw a squirrel fall out of a tree, quite a thud and then it scampered off.

A 3ft snake once slithered across the path we were walking on last year then a mink just sat in front of us as if he had all the time in the world (different walk)

You do wonder about some owners though as I often see people who walk their dogs and are permanently on the phone - so barely even notice their own dogs let alone other strange things They do say that more dead bodies are found by dog walkers than anything - thank goodness I haven't.

It's certainly true here; it is one of my fears    A year ago, there was a body found in the river where I walked every morning; I'm convinced I would have found it if it hadn't been for the dedication of one of the police dog handlers who waded the length of river the evening before

It's one of my fears too. When I had my first 2 Cockers and lived in a different part of the New Forest my early morning walks often used to start with a short drive to one of the most popular car parks in the New Forest. Some mornings I'd be the first person there. Twice during the years when I was using that car park regularly it was used by poor souls committing suicide.

We see lots of foxes round here.

I see them under my bedroom window in the early hours sometimes plus when I lived in Oxford one used to look through our glass door at us in the sitting room - both houses are in the city

That really gave me shivers. But when you think about it, its probs true. I mean how many stories do you hear where it says the body was found by someone walking their dog. Scary stuff.

It's the dogs, not the dog walkers who find the bodies, so you may not even know you have found one if your dog doesn't tell you...

Gari would only find a body if it had food in their pocket, so here's hoping they don't!

I used to walk dill round Drumpellier Loch........he drove out an amorous couple from the bushes there one time    Apparently there is the remains of an iron age settlement in the middle of the Loch that you can see with the water is low......does that count as a strange thing?

You'd think that would be odd to me but no - another falconner (in training lol) here!

Someone walking along the road with two ferrets on a lead,not unheard of but bizarre to see

Us too.  Billy was quite astonished to see them.

Also, once we found a whole roast chicken on the grass at the side of the path we were on.  Was quite hard to contain the doglets in their quest to get it.  Funny thing is, a few weeks later I was walking the same way with the dogs and my hubby.  I was telling him that this was where the chicken was, when to my amazement there was another roast chicken   We call that bit of the walk the 'chicken run' now.
