We were also curious about the 'third species' and are relieved to find it is probably just goats and not large birds of prey that might snatch small, adventurous canines in the virtuous pursuit of their [the canines] forestry duties.

Your experience in the Torridon area is a matter of proud record. Your ability to distil and then focus on the things that will be of particular interest to this clients dogs: almost surreal. <br /><br />We are now probably in the unique position, as future foresters, of having consulted and received advise from 2 distinct species (a forestry consultant of the one species normally used for such consultation purposes did a first report, you did the second) - a point Id like to think sets us up in a league of our own in our ongoing dialogue with Argyll Council. And possibly a world first. <br /><br />Thank you. <br /><br />And a word of thanks to your agent and interlocutor, without whom we may not have been able to truely grasp the significant and nuance and depth of your report. <br /><br />Regards<br />The people down the road<br /><br />PS There is a matter regarding current denizens of the piece of land in question that we'd want to go over with you, before your proposed visit ... just a detail ... though suffice to say it involves a 3rd species not always noted for their natural welcoming charm ... a mere detailMike Mackayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09338042141085867489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030432357826707438.post-3313207547022136102012-09-30T20:56:11.290+01:002012-09-30T20:56:11.290+01:00hey Bertie,

Your unique canine perspective will provide Bonnie and Jack all they need to know to persuade their humans to proceed with forest planting. The photographs especially make the report, they are gorgeous! And they will give the humans, Mike and Kirsty, the visual information humans so depend on when making tough decisions. [Example: our furry adorable and stunning faces are what swayed our humans to adopt us in the first place, not a report on our personality.]<br /><br />I think a box of dog biscuits is a fair price for your hard work.
