CDP Theme Day - Young at Heart

Fergus is my "young at heart" candidate.  He is a 15 year old Westie.  We took care of him while his mother was traveling abroad.  These photos were taken when he was 13, still an old age for a dog.  He is a bundle of energy and still going strong.  Everyone he meets loves this little man.

 Here he is it at his favorite beach, Fintra in Killybegs.  Gotta get the feel of this place before I play.

 Fetching the ball

 I see you, do you see me?

 Gotta look nice for the camera

I have to stop by Dave the butcher to see if my bones are in.  A dog has to have his bones, ya know.

 I love getting cards from friends and family

 How do I look?  Fabulous I presume

Even I need to get my beauty sleep.  It's been another glorious day!

Linking up with City Daily Photo for the monthly theme, "Young at Heart"

fintra beach

Fintra beach is a beautiful sandy beach just a couple of kilometers outside of Killybegs.  We haven't walked there yet but will do it as soon as the weather allows.  We usually catch a ride with one of our neighbors and it is a great place to hang out for an afternoon, take a walk or just sit and stare at the scenery.


Fintra beach, along with 12 other Donegal beaches, has been awarded a Blue Flag. ("Beaches are awarded the Blue Flag based on compliance with 32 criteria covering the following:
1) Environmental Education and Information 2) Water Quality 3) Environmental Management 4) Safety and Services All Blue Flags are awarded for one season at a time. If the criteria are not fulfilled during the season or the conditions change, the Blue Flag may be withdrawn."
