Lewis Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Apparently Slovakia has the highest number of castles per person in the world so (after 5 years of living here) we thought it only right that we visit a few 🏰 My housemates and I headed out for a family trip last Sunday and again this week so I thought I'd share some of the great photos my friend took... Obišovce Castle (š is pronounced shh so Obishovce) was our first visit, a decent walk with 4 of us and 5 dogs - all from the shelter including Nathan, a little ginger and white sighthound pup who is up for adoption Kolin, Henry and Céline posing on a castle wall and a couple of Céline just because A few photos we took of Nathan for the shelter to advertise him (I'm not looking at anyone in particular Clare ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Lovely photos! Yes, someone adopt him. He’s lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 That sounds really great fun. Are the castles private or can you visit round them or are they ruins? Beautiful dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I love how it says castles in the title and it only contains pictures of adorable pups! It’s like reversed clickbait! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 They're mostly ruins open to the public so you can visit for free but maintained so you can walk round, go up the tower etc. We visited another this weekend with more actual castle featured in the photos so will post those later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 He is very sweet @Lewis I have more hounds than is sensible at the moment though, and (with Prudence whispering in my ear) 2 mad saluki crosses keep me busy... and in game for the pot. He looks like a European version of a sighthound - shorter legs for a different quarry Try Lurcher Link - there's a section on there for advertising hounds which aren't associated with the charity itself. I do homechecks for them - let me know if you'd like me to post photos and a resume for him on there once he's in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 He's advertised on the Slovak shelter groups and is cute so I'm sure he'll find someone, a friend is just fostering him. Interesting about shorter legs, we don't have rabbits here 'cos the ground is too hard to burrow which is a pain for hawks but great for eagle falconry! Last weekend we visited Šariš Castle which is about 40 minutes away and where the beer is brewed if anyone's heard of it! Céline got a bit car sick but we're working on it before the road trip back to the UK. It was a 45minute walk up and we climbed up the castle (above is atop the tower) and you can kind of tell this is a castle Kolin and Henry with castle wall... ...and no castle but just 'cos they're cute, Winnie and Céline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Lovely pic, Lewis. That sky looks a bit dark though, hope you didn't get wet!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Lovely pics. Celine is a darling. Handsome Henry (if he's the darker of the two) - I'm a sucker for long haired cats and dogs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
