This is Widget. He's the Durlston Country Park resident dog, belonging to head ranger Katie. I've not got much to say this post, but these pictures were too sweet not to use!
Widget generally comes out on wednesday work parties with the volunteers at the country park, if it's safe to do so. Obviously, if we're working along the road or cutting down things that are likely to fall, he's not around. Ragwort pulling I think perhaps is one of Widget's favourite work party activities, as there are lots of people always walking round a big field, and plenty of opportunities to run around, chase deer if there are any (once he absolutely belted it after a roe deer that was in one of the lower fields, and it took a good five minutes for him to come back, unsuccessful of course).
He loves fetching sticks and generally messing about, although he's fairly old now, so doesn't have quite the same energy levels as a younger dog! He'll still put up a fight if you try and take away his stick though. His favourite thing is eating leftover icecream from visitors to the castle, and he can get quite fat during the summer months...
