I haven’t figured out the knack of inserting photos into comments, ergo, Part 2. Many thanks to my friend (and Troughton’s friend) Sue in Canada for this picture of Troughton when he was 4 1/2 and in his prime.
Look at those muscles in his back legs! Compared to that picture, he looks postively frail these days. Also see how intently he is staring…probably has detected a mink in the rocks. Here in Tallahassee he had to give up minks for squirrels, but he can still scare the whiskers off a squirrel!

Great Pic. Your comments remind me of the new kiddies movie Up which I went to see with my grandson. They had talking dogs in the movie that would be going along doing human like activities and then all of sudden all heads would jerk and they would say SQUIRREL and return to whatever they were doing. It reminded me of my dog who will be in the middle of anything and when he sees a squirrel he will bolt to bark him down from the screen enclosure or birdfeeder. He knows the seeds are for the birds not the squirrels.

Thanks pt…in his prime, Troughton was truly a magnicifent example of his breed. You know how I love animated kid movies! I really want to see this one.
