More of a tribute to Freinds I've dug with over the years that were true terrierman by any measure . That are sadly no longer with us . My digging buddy was a scouser ,Tilly. Told me he lived on a "Farm". Some farm!!!! Some of you might recognise him in the middle..

LOL, when I seen you said Paccy put you in the hospital with a bar I laughed.

Paccy played rugby and got a bad shoulder injury once. He was just over the injury when he came over to me for a dig.

He was leaning over the dig, looking in, while I was digging and I hit a rock and hit his shoulder with the handle of the shovel.

He rolled around on the ground in agony.

God love him. He didn't give a shit about anything , except for the time his dogs were stolen. He put the word out and his dogs were left back.

You didn't mess with Paccy .

Did you ever dig with NM fat man, some of the best terrier work I've had was in Meath . Paccy was no , one quarry hunter and neither were his dogs , Though he might have had a preference.

Tilly's dog "Black"......."Farm" bred , do you remember the dog A.T. The lurcher is one of the better foxing bitches I've seen.

Here's one with all of us, Paccy on the banjo . Pat, with his back to the camera come from the other side of the bog from NM,s He was a farmer who sourced most of the ground off the estate.. Fatman, NM was the keeper from mountains town. It brought a lump in my throat when Niel C told me he died , as we lost contact . Meta good few others but Paccy was always around, and stood out in the crowd.
