    sorry, long post. Caused a bit of controversy on Skye Free Ads (ok as I got my mrs to post it). When I was out fishing high in the hills on tues, my dog started growling about 7:30pm and there was a bark and then this dog appeared, it was chasing / worrying a ewe and its lamb to run, the lamb then got separated didn’t see if anything happened to the ewe. Also at the same time we have a white tailed eagle circling us either checking us out or the lamb (I reckon they are a team, tbh...). This dog looked really unkempt, really shaggy and odd looking, it came quite close but never right up to us and I was a bit concerned about my wee dog so I picked her up (oh the indignity :laughing:). Anyway, posted online incase someone had lost a dog, turns out this poor thing has been living wild for over a year on the hill miles from the nearest houses and no one seems able to catch it. Y’see I could have assisted tourism and started the legend of The Beast of Trotternish Ridge or something - an escaped hyena genetic mutation gone rogue - but it was just an off grid, crofter’s dog gone wild :joy: not something you see every day, kind of right for The Hills Have Eyes country, though.

    yeah, pretty sad all round. I think that’s the controversy, people saying as much online, the owner is known they need to do something otherwise it’ll get shot unfortunately (surprised it hasn’t already though it has a vast area to roam). Plus, tbh I had no idea if it would go for my dog, you never know with these things, it’s a pretty big dog at the end of the day. It was funny how it showed up exactly at the same time as the eagle, either the dog has killed before and the eagle knows this, or separating the lamb the eagle can take the lamb. Pure speculation obviously. There’s not much out there except sheep, it’s not catching a deer though tbf for a huge shaggy thing, it looked to be running healthy enough.

    This is all very interesting, but what we really want to know is what fruit was in this mornings value jam.

    Sounds like a potential Hollywood film. We'll obviously add in the bit where you got lost, broke your leg, lived off wild heather and foraged berries for two weeks before the wee dog befriended you.

    Finally got a diagnosis for my painful arm. Calcific Tendinitis of the humeral head. So physio, ultra sound guided steroid injection which if it still doesn’t clear followed by surgery.

    At least I now know I’m not imagining it

    Nah, m8. Just another of his shaggy dog stories. Would make a decent children’s book though. “The Eagle, the Hound and the Wee Man”.

    There's also the risk it could turn on a human? I'm one of those that would try to coax it to safety and end up bitten.

    yeah, it’s possible. Hopefully something will get done.
