I see a brindle dog looking at me. (words "kind-of" reference a favourite children's book "I went walking")
Daily Dog Challenge: What do you see?
Sneaking some time up on the bed (tsk tsk), my Oliver spends the day offering what he can to his sick friend.

Hey, you're not the mail man! My poor boxer, Oliver, waits patiently for the mail man every single day so he can bark and growl and huff and puff and show him what he is made of. Sadly, on this day, it was just me coming up the walk, catching the look of disappointment on his face.
John Fishwick & Sons of Leyand, Lancashire took two Leyland Royal Tiger Doyen Silver Crown coaches (C48Ft) registered C752 MFR and C753 MFR (fleet numbers C8 and C12) in April 1986. Both Doyen coaches were leased rather than purchased, rather unusual for a small operator. They only remained in the fleet for two years, John Brindle Director of John Fishwick & Sons told me the Doyen coaches were awful, he went on to criticise Leyland's decision to use the front axle and suspension from the Olympian on the Doyen.
At the International Bus and Coach Exhibition held at Earls Court in late September 1985, Leyland Bus announced significant revisions for the 1986 season for their flagship luxury integral Royal Tiger coach, at the same time re-introducing the Doyen name which Leyland had quietly dropped in late 1984. Three off the self versions of the Doyen would be available: Standard, Silver Crown and Gold Crown, the differences between each version was the level of specification and price.
My view dating from 1987, shows C752 MFR (fleet number C8) frame number RTC86.05, the fifth Doyen built in the 1986 season. Note the traditional Leyland wheel trims an option from 1986, the near side mirror is none standard and a replacement.
John Fishwick, moved from Wales to Leyland in 1907 and lived at 124 Golden Hill Lane (Richmond House Farm) John started a business with a steam wagon which he purchased from The Lancashire Steam Motor Company, which later became Leyland Motors Ltd. John Fishwick purchased a second truck in 1911, which was used for haulage during the week and converted for passenger carrying at weekends. By 1930 John Fishwick was operating a network of stage carriage services between Leyland Preston. The haulage part of the business was sold in 1951, in 1963 John Fishwick took over J Singleton (Leyland) Ltd a local coach operator allowing John Fishwick to expand into running coaches. As the company expanded it became John Fishwick & Sons, and stayed loyal to local manufacter Leyland Motors. By the eighties John Brindle and James Hustler the great grandsons of John Fishwick were joint directors of company. By the mid eighties the long tradition of purchasing Leyland buses and coaches was broken when a Plaxton Paramount 3500 DAF MB200 joined the fleet. Further DAF MB and SB coaches would enter the fleet some purchased and some leased. Plaxton Leyland Tigers would continue to be purchased, when production of the Tiger ceased in 1991, Fishwicks took a small number of Plaxton Volvo B10M coaches which proved to be troublesome, so they switched back to the DAF SB, also DAF was chosen as the supplier of single-deck buses in the form of the SB120 and SB180. Sadly John Fishwick & Sons went out business in October 2015 due to financial reasons.

Ralph got to see his friend Suki at her house this week. She lives on a huge piece of land on the coast of Maine and Ralph is given the freedom to be off leash.
Suki is 9 months old and truly in love with Ralph. Melissa, Suki's hooman has tried to have playdates for Suki with other dogs, but they just don't play the way Ralph does. The other dogs either totally ignore her or are not into running.
Ralph is now 12 years old and is so good with this little wild child. When they are in the house she can be a bit to clingy for him, but he let's her know when it is too much and is teaching her good dog manners.
We hiked around the property through the woods and along the shore. I was surprised that Ralph had as much stamina as he did. His back legs were getting a bit shaky by the end and I asked Melissa to put Suki on leash so that Ralph wouldn't have her all over him the last 100 yards to the house.
It was a great day and I was really happy to capture Ralph flying over this brush as they ran through the woods.
There are several other photos of the hike in my photo stream including one of the two of them leaping over a log side by side. If you look closely you will see that Suki is constantly looking at Ralph as they run. She is truly smitten.
