Speak Softly And….

Last week, I learned that installation of the new roof at Bacon’s Castle had begun. Since I was in the neighborhood Saturday, I stopped by with plans to take some pics of the work in progress.

But, once I drove down the lane, I discovered that the work was being done on the back side of the house. Since it was cold and windy, and I didn’t have a good photo shot from the comfort of my car, I decided to just make a circle and leave via the other drive.

I spotted a couple of visitors walking across the property, and then saw this:

 

The couple saw me taking the picture of their pooch and smiled, so I stopped to chat. They had just finished a tour of the house. Of course, I shared a little of my family history at Bacon’s Castle with them. And I learned that this is”Browser”.  Browser was looking mighty proud.

And, obviously, he subscribes to the theory: “Go big or go home”.

  2. How CUTE!!! We noticed, as we drove from Surry towards Smithfield, that they were in the process of doing roof work. Glad to know that it’s proactive replacement. Such a beautiful place.

  3. Yes, I’d say Browser thinks big! Such a cutie.

  4. Love the photo of Bowser. He has important work to do.

  5. This made me smile. Simple things…

  6. Browser is like Houdini – carry a big stick and carry on my friend. Love this pic. Snorts and oinks. XOXO – Bacon

  7. I wonder if he took it home ?!

  8. How sweet of the “helper” dog. Browser must be descended from a proud line of “Clean Up” dogs. And how nice the couple got to share your local family history.

    I am sure Browser enjoyed roaming around the grounds. He just wanted a
    souvenir.

  10. That is so sweet! Such a happy day Browser had there.

  11. Browser is a mighty handsome fellow. 🙂

  12. We could use Handsome Browser on the Tiny Ten… we have lots of sticks available in all sizes.

  13. Bowser reminds mes of my hairy slobbery sister Bob! Mes wonders if she goes for the “Big Sticks” over the bridge!
