Imagine what he could do inside with a Bissell...He is so photogenic TT

10 Nov, 2011

 

We need Conker here,Terra..my OH is fed up of a big Sycamore on his own !...He is a very tidy worker ,isn't he ? :o)

10 Nov, 2011

 

Hi Bloomer...
Please tell OH that Conker is heading North with his turquoise rake :o)

10 Nov, 2011

 

awwww bless ;)))))))))))))))))))))))

10 Nov, 2011

10 Nov, 2011

 

Thanks Paul and Sandra ..
Conker will head across to Blackpool via Yorkshire ;o) xxx

10 Nov, 2011

 

will have treats waiting :o)))

10 Nov, 2011

 

Wanted down in Kent, too, TT, please! I've done most of it but am fast running out of steam (and black plastic bags!). Lovely photo of a very clever Conker.

10 Nov, 2011

 

Thank you, Gee...
Conker has put Kent on his itinerary ;o)

10 Nov, 2011

 

Bless him, such a willing worker, give him a biscuit TT. x

10 Nov, 2011

 

That is so funny! I am obviously not training Tyler properly :o) Love It.

10 Nov, 2011

 

Thanks Grandmage and N3tyy ...
Conker has enjoyed some well-earned biscuits :o)

10 Nov, 2011

 

You are so lucky TT...having such a smart dog :)
Does Truffles help?

10 Nov, 2011

 

Hi Scottish ..
Truffle tries to help... he is rather over-enthusiastic ;o)

10 Nov, 2011

 

I guess he spreads them around for you.....just to keep Conker entertained!

10 Nov, 2011

 

Lol. Pam...
Truffle does try to eat a leaf, here and there :o)

10 Nov, 2011

 

More of a hinder then :)

10 Nov, 2011

 

He's such a good worker TT, I hope you're paying him a decent wage! lol

10 Nov, 2011

 

Lol. Sheila ..
Conker negotiated a good rate of Bonios per hour ;o)

10 Nov, 2011

 

... sounds like a good deal to me ... lol

10 Nov, 2011

 

Send Conker over to Mossley next, will save all the leaf clearing for him and have lots of treats waiting for him too! ;0))

10 Nov, 2011

 

I feel that Angus is too far for Conker. I have invested in a leaf hoover...it's only fair, poor doggie......he would be exhausted! :))

10 Nov, 2011

 

Conker is keen to help...
He has his "Sheltie-nav" set for Mossley .. thanks for the offers of treats, Carole ...
... and then, next stop ... Angus ..
...how could a Shetland Sheepdog refuse an invitation to Scotland, Karen ? xxx

10 Nov, 2011

 

lol! Sheltie-Nav!! lol!

10 Nov, 2011

 

Lol... ;o)

10 Nov, 2011

 

Conker is so amazing bless :)))

10 Nov, 2011

 

Thanks Sue.
Conker has been extra-lovely today... I gave him a thorough grooming and he enjoyed every minute of that ... he adores being brushed... and then he helped me with the gardening .. ;o)

10 Nov, 2011

 

He is sooooo lovely Terra. He seems to really like posing for the camera too. I hope Truffle got some biscuits too. I know you wouldnt leave him out! Licks and woofs from Indi and China x

10 Nov, 2011

 

Awwwwww :))))))))

10 Nov, 2011

 

Please send him over, we have loads of leaves this year.......will feed him well lol

10 Nov, 2011

 

Ha`ha nice pic terra,maybe when he`s got the leaves up he could clean your windows instead of me,great pic.

11 Nov, 2011

 

Aren't I a good boy Mum...!!

11 Nov, 2011

 

Has he got his own passport? If so, put me on the long list of needing his help. You may need to give him some extra TLC when he gets back though - the village dogs are tower blocks for all sorts of nasties living in their fur!

11 Nov, 2011

 

Hi Poppylover and Pixi .. Yes, Conker does loves the camera .. knows exactly how to pose ... Truffle had biscuits too ..Hugs to Indi and China.. x

Conker heading to Hampshire, Dotty ... please put the kettle on .. he likes skimmed milk with warm water ;o)

Hello Kev ... it seems you're not very keen to clean all my windows... maybe word has reached you how Truffle puts muddy paws all over the kitchen door... ha ha ..

Crissue... Thanks ..yes, Conker is a very good boy ... xxx

Hi Nariz ... oooer, lots of Spanish fleas it seems...
but we've added you to the list ;o)

11 Nov, 2011

 

:))) x

11 Nov, 2011

 

Does Conker ever visit Norfolk if so could he drop by and lend a paw?

What brilliant pets you have :)

11 Nov, 2011

 

Hi Sheilamj .. Thanks ..
Yes, Conker is happy to lend his paws in Norfolk ;o)

11 Nov, 2011

 

Tell Conker when he gets to Blackpool he can call here, but dont have any leaves to clean up but he can have a well deserved rest and a big hug.xx

11 Nov, 2011

 

Hi Clarice...
Thanks. I reckon by the time Conker reaches Blackpool, he'll be ready for a nap and a hug. xxx

11 Nov, 2011

 

I'm sure he will,give him a hug for me, on second thoughts give Truffles one aswell xx

11 Nov, 2011

 

Thanks Clarice..
...and I blew a kiss to Crocus budgie ..
I always do that when Conker and Truffle have hugs and kisses, so that he doesn't miss out... Lol... xxx

11 Nov, 2011

 

:o)))xxx

11 Nov, 2011

 

Well done Conker ! You've worked hard there :o)))

11 Nov, 2011

... especially if you have Welsh cookies ready ;o)

11 Nov, 2011

 

I'll make some straight away ;o))

11 Nov, 2011

Maybe Tiny could flap his wings like a leaf-blower....Lol.

12 Nov, 2011

12 Nov, 2011

 

Thank you, Surreylad ...
Conker is such a help in the garden ..
He does lots of raking and sweeping ...:o)

12 Nov, 2011

 

Conker just has the most appealing face ... he'll be kepy busy for some days yet ... leaves falling off rapidly down here on the coast ... :o(

12 Nov, 2011

 

Hi Shirley...
Thank you... Conker does smile for the camera ...

He has put West Sussex on his itinerary ...
His turquoise rake will be working overtime ;o)

12 Nov, 2011

 

I think you should send him round to me, I have loads of leaves!Doesn't he take a lovely picture.

12 Nov, 2011

 

Hi Rose...
Conker says thank you ...

Next stop South Humberside ...
... have turquoise rake, will travel ;o)

12 Nov, 2011

 

Glad Conker got a reward for helping out Terra. He's loving the stardom.

13 Nov, 2011

 

Hi Linda..
Great thing with Conker is that he just loves helping in the garden ...
doesn't expect treats... they are just a bonus..Lol.

13 Nov, 2011

 

Great TT, we could certainly do with his help a few places. Plenty of work for him and he's cheap too if he doesn't expect payment. LOL.

13 Nov, 2011

 

Hi Bob ... Thanks ..
Conker can certainly include Surrey in his route ... LOL.

13 Nov, 2011

 

Well done, Conker :o)

14 Nov, 2011

 

Hello Pip... Conker says hi and thanks :o)

14 Nov, 2011

 

Oh, Homebird ...
Seems like Miss Piggy needs help ! ;o)
Conker is holding his turquoise rake, and is on his way to the Notts/Derbyshire border ...
... and he's bringing along Truffle to help Miss Piggy eat the leaves :o)))

14 Nov, 2011

 

Great picture! Conker seems such a clever doggy. I wish i could train my budgies to chase the squirrels from my garden.

14 Nov, 2011

 

Thanks Bill..
Truffle the Terrier could chase squirrels for you ;o)

15 Nov, 2011

 

As always a smashing photo of Conker!!! He really is the most amazing of dogs! I hope you reward him well after all he does to help you! :-))

15 Nov, 2011

 

Hi Balcony ... Thank you...

Great pic , so cute .

18 Nov, 2011

 

Hi Mossy...
Thanks...
... Conker is sometimes almost too cute...Lol.

18 Nov, 2011

 

Kayleighs idea of helping in the garden is trying to eat the slugs...Yuk !!! and chasing cats out of the garden... :))

20 Nov, 2011

 

If only your Kayleigh could chase the slugs out of the garden ;o)

20 Nov, 2011
