Arvo sits in the grass, mud on his paws and wind in his beard, looking pleased Arvo stands in a mucky field, wind on his legs and backside, looking delighted

#TerrierTuesday theme #Earography
Alfie at a breezy Corbridge Roman Town (Coria c. AD85), Northumberland.
"What are they saying about me disrespecting these Roman ruins?"
"Don't worry Alfie it's just 'Earsay!"😀🐾

Close up of a Border Terrier dog standing on the remains of a stone building at Corbridge Roman Town (Coria - see below for more info), Northumberland, England. He is facing the camera on a very breezy day. His left ear has been blown completely upright, while his right ear is down close to his face. He has a calm expression. His face is brown, with black nose and ears, brown legs and a black body with flecks of grey. In the background is grass and more stone remains of the Roman garrison town. The sky is full of white clouds with some patches of blue. Before Hadrian's Wall, the Roman garrison town of Coria at the western edge of Corbridge, built circa AD85, was an important settlement at the junction of two major Roman roads: Dere Street and the Stanegate. It also held a strategic position at a crossing of the River Tyne and later acted as a supply town for Hadrian's Wall.

Pic #2 for the #terriertuesday theme of "Earography", I will flashback to Mischief learning that ears and the Cone of Shame are not good friends. At least she hasn't scratched the side of her face bloody since this coning. #dogsofbluesky
An Airedale Terrier wears a protective cone. The right side of the face is bloody, which necessitated the cone. Her ears are curled up in front of her, and she's feeling sorry for herself.

Who else here was in the Woodcraft Folk? Fond memories of a long argument about whether we should eat a tin of south african peaches that somehow found its way to camp during Apartheid. My first introduction to leftist discourse.

The theme for #terriertuesday is "Earography". I'm going back into the Archives for a picture of Airedale #2, Hogan. His one ear never quite flopped quite right, but I still loved and still miss him. #dogsofbluesky
A Polaroid photo of an Airedale Terrier seated in front of a wooden CD stand and an upholstered chair. The Airedale has a right ear that sticks up, and a white blaze on his chest.

For this weeks #TerrierTuesday here’s a blast from the past when I had floppy down ears and a more recent photo where I’ve got me grown up sticky up ears. M says my ears are like radars always twizzling round #earology #Cairnterrier

#terriertuesday and an old photo that shows Hallelujah's ear tassels well. Bedlington ears are shaved apart from the tassel - I believe it's do that more retaliatory prey grab the tassel rather than bite the ear leather.
A proud Bedlington terrier sits on a distressed red garden chair wearing a red bandana in front of red roses . His breed trim ear tassels are clearly visable
