Hi Colette and Patsy, I had two rescue dogs, Parson Jack Russells, the only difference is a parsons has longer legs, but I was never able to let them off their leads which was a particular sadness for me. Even though we put a lot of effort into training, their instincts, especially with Daisy, who would chase cats, rabbits, anything that moved really, were too strong to ignore and we lost them both on a number of occasions. I wish you lots of luck with Patsys training and really hope that you will be able to let her run free eventually. She is a lovely little girl and is obviously very happy with you and her lovely home at Bealtaine Cottage. Bright blessings to you both. Debs x

[@kathrynriggs2489]

Hi Deb, we have 3 parson Jack's- my female is a rescue. She was a breeders dog and not used to having the ability to roam. After 3 years, she is still very timid. We have to use a electronic pet safe system to keep them on the property. My female will not leave unless the boys do or I do. Never without a lead when out of their area. They were bred for hunting, and that instinct is strong, lol

[@jhankri]

Patsy is a darling. Her forays through the woodland and cuddles with you are a joy to behold. This pairing of you two was meant to be. Pure contentment. Blessings to all who dwell at Bealtaine.

[@Buzzardgirl13]

I can’t help but smile when I see Patsy. She is such a delight ❤

[@LovesJESUS]

Patsy is so adorable. So happy you adopted her, she hit the doggie lottery

[@SusanFreeman]

We have all fallen in love with Patsy! You are giving her such a happy life. ♥️

[@guitargirl7452]

Awwww... that ending. Bless her. She just wanted to be close to her mum. Such a lovely wee soul. Thanks for sharing Colette. Xxx

[@seanjamescameron]

Well following your lead I've finally left London after 20 years and have moved back to the welsh mountains of the Rhondda Valleys in a little miners cottage and loving it. Hopefully I will get an allotment soon but I have a little back garden which can have a few flowers. All the best for 2024.

[@bealtainecottage]

I am delighted for you Sean and send you blessings for all good things to come!

[@christinagriffiths-smith1189]

Another Rhondda resident!😮🙂

[@maretgalbraith9105]

Sean you two are my inspiration and I watch your videos regularly as well. Never want to miss either one. Love to you as well.

[@roksannastephens4375]

What a beautiful place for Patsy to live out her life with you!!

[@kathleenroberts7972]

You are a good and responsible dog mother. Patsy has so much energy! Adorable.

[@elainerichards6406]

Hi Colette, So lovely seeing the mist rolling through the hills in your video! Little Patsy put a smile on my face running around so happy! Many blessings to you both ❤❤

[@bealtainecottage]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Gardenwitch1954]

Patsy is a real Russell! My boy Patches stayed close UNTIL there was prey to chase. Training them is a challenge, using treats of dried meat sticks really helped. I miss him still after 20 years😢

[@graceinthegarden9151]

I am quite certain you thoroughly enjoy her snuggling next to you on the sofa...😊 Most of us sarafice a bit to comfort to accommodate our fur babies. Your chuckle about her doing so was most definitely of joy. May you always have the peace and blessings in your life.

[@user-rx4bi1ic4z]

"I live on my own, so i have to eat that cake"...you're a girl after my own heart ;-D

[@Holly_at_gypsyhollergardens]

What a grand idea , pick 3 things a month to give focus to !!! I think I will give that a try myself ! Pasty is a little sweety 💙 Speaking of Jack , I had a dream a couple of weeks ago , that he was in ... In short , he came out of my woods ( Iowa/USA 😂) but i just knew it was him and the dream was all about trying to let you know he was here and had not passed ! And my husband made him gravy and toast 😂 such an odd thing to dream ! Blessings to you and Patsy 💙

[@bealtainecottage]

What a lovely dream xxx

[@KatWoodland]

I LOVE this!

[@henriettahenson]

That PASTY ALREADY RULING THE ROOST... SHE IS HILARIOUS WHAT A DIVA,,,, @OH Collette that nights sky was stunning... Blessings to you and that sweet doggie 🐶🙏💕

[@camilleschoonover4789]

Loved the night sky!! Patsy is such a love!! Your cottage and woodlands is such a fairytale!!!!🤗

[@stitchingbytheriver8666]

I like the little snippets of video posts you have been making. They are inspiring in their beauty and content. Much appreciated:)

[@bealtainecottage]

Glad you like them!

[@TheEGA4421]

Patsy is so cute!!! She is staying next to the heat source. I had to laugh when you mentioned about eating the entire cake 🤭. Eat 🎂, drink 🍷 and be merry 🐕!!!

[@oceanluv88]

Patsy is a sweetheart, and a good companion for you. I still do miss your Jackie boy. Blessings.

[@barbaradobson9298]

Patsy is adorable. lol be her markings and color. I do miss Jack… what a fine fog he was❤️

[@marianfrances4959]

Simplicity is a great choice. Patsy is hilarious and yes, determined!😂 Lovely night sky. All that magic going on while we huddle in our warm homes! ✨ 👍🇨🇦😎❄

[@donnawaldron3261]

Beagles bolt as well. Love the way you panned the camera away when Pat's was doing her business. 😊

[@bealtainecottage]

😊 thank you

[@ArnieHensman]

What a lovely video. Simple and charming. Jack Russells are great.

[@TheStarcruiser]

Simplicity is always the best! Wishing You & Pasty (the little rascal) a Beautiful 2024! As always, looking forward to watching Bealtaine Cottage come into bloom. Lots of Love & Many Blessings Colette🌹🐝🐛🐞

[@bealtainecottage]

Same to you!

[@lulucly]

I could never let my JRT off lead. The prey drive is just too strong with him, and he is now 15yrs. That's not saying Patsy is the same. Good luck with her training. She's such a good girl!

[@patwhite2213]

Morning Colette. I have two Jack Russell's. My newest rescue is a seven year old, who does the whole 'bolting' thing. When he gets outside and something moves or flutters he turns into a completely different dog., stubborn, fixated and totally obsessed. Indoors he's loving and likes nothing better that a cuddle. Talk about Jeckell and Hyde!

[@bealtainecottage]

Gentle but firm training with big dollops of patience will, I hope, work!

[@MyEverydayGarden]

I can relate to that with my late dog a Jack Russell/Foxie. He was the same

[@FarmhouseWorthy]

The green color on the Tree trunks @ 20 seconds, is stunning. That sky is amazing.

[@LS-um3zq]

You and Patsy look so cozy together. The strong bond is forming!

[@leighwiseman8389]

Your homeland is so beautiful and colours so vibrant. Night sky amazing. Thank you Colette xxx

[@roksannastephens4375]

K.I.S.S. (keep it simple, sister)...good inspiration, ty.

[@bealtainecottage]

Always!

[@pillepalle8013]

Greetings from my two Doberman males to Patsy, they love it when we sit on the sofa together and watch you two! They watch her every move and love her just the way she is! Chico and Choci are also from the shelter, Choci already had 5 previous owners at the age of 2 years. Now they have been with me for seven and six years respectively. All the best for both of you! And yes, keep it simple is the best way to achieve goals, thank you for this strong slogan!

[@daggy1778]

dear Colette..........Patsy is a little............in germany we called it WIPP STEERT........little restles spirit and hunter....................a Jack Russel.....................but she is soooooooooooo cute..............think,that you will do the best for her and for your common life..............Jack was a shepard dog..................and he was cosy........................Blessings and Greetings from Daggy,Kiel,Germany☘☘☘look forward for your new book...........Patsy loves you and still in your near she feels save

[@itsmewende]

Love your 3 things a month to accomplish, wonderful idea. My son in law taught their jack russell to ring bells they had hanging on the door knob when he needed to go out. Their yard was fenced...Holling, he was a sweet boy, just passed before Christmas, 17 yrs old. If a bird flew by the living room window, he ran down the hall to the look out the bedroom.

[@bealtainecottage]

That is awesome!

[@cynthiareimer2020]

So much color in your garden and woods for it being mid winter. It’s so softly beautiful. I enjoyed your ramble as much as Patsy appears to! 😊

[@parry3231]

You can see that Patsy is looking, smelling and constantly exploring the world with enthusiasm and the desire for checking out everything. It is her nature and she is certainly intelligent and committed to being with you and her new life with love and comfort, ❤ If anyone can do this process of getting her to remain in your woodland garden it certainly would be you with the energies that you exude and the clarity of what is needed for the best for you both. She is so ready to explore and to get out and check out everything.at every single moment. Thanks for your time given and for your comment about simply focusing on what is really important for you in the future activities that are for your well-being and happiness. ❤

[@irenetovar7756]

Patsy is so cute, and what a beautiful night sky. I need to get myself in gear and start some projects, like painting the inside of my house for starters. See you next time.

[@April-eg2rc]

❤hugs to you and Patsy❤

[@ClaireQuinn566]

Hello Collette. Greetings & best wishes to you from County Clare. I enjoy your videos very much & your lovely gentle voice. Regarding Patsy - I think it may help when she goes to run towards the sheep that you give her a correction by giving a quick sharp tug on the lead & make a sound - something like "ah ah" (like we do with babies when protecting them from something) or make a 'tsk' sound. The dog trainers do this. Dogs need a correction when doing something they shouldn't - just like children. 👍

[@femalism1715]

Patsy is certainly going to enjoy the "W" part of your plan for January!

[@jeannestauffer682]

Patsy is soooo cute…..please don’t lose her…..you’re lucky to have found each other!!!!😊😊😊❤

[@DottieStanley]

Hi Patsy! I am a chef. I went to culinary school and have cooked professionally since 1986. I have found that I can do a light KETO style baking using almond flour and other gluten free flours and sugar substitutes that have really helped me lose weight over the past 4 years. There are tons of recipes online for free. I started this lifestyle during the pandemic. I started out using Carb Manager. A free ap that helps you get to know what your caloric intake is. It's very helpful to let you see how the foods we are eating add up to really large number of calories and keep us from losing weight and getting healthy. Lots of things have sugar in them that people are not even aware of. increasing your water intake really helps too and helps melt the fat off our bodies. I love to bake too, but going this route has really helped me lose over 30 lbs. Best of luck to you in your journey. I am so enjoying your videos and your lifestyle.

[@christineosborne9789]

Hello lovely as always. I agree if you have cake you have to eat it. Love from Devon.

[@bealtainecottage]

Yes we do 🥮🍰🧁

[@denisecoviello5619]

Patsy reminds me of our Suzy Q we had when I was growing up. She had Patsy’s build and coloring, but she was a beagle mix and so had a little beagle face and ears. She was an affectionate and very stubborn little lady who always wanted the last word.

[@kathybrooks-uz2kv]

Beautiful morning great walk with patsy awesome Ideas 💡

[@franceswood3966]

When you call and Patsy stops give a small piece of sausage, that may help🎉🤞💕

[@amelia2656]

Thankyou Colette, three things is such a good idea. I cook a lot from scratch, but still eat far too much (good cheese and good bread are my weaknesses). I definitely need to move more, stretch more and do some strength lifting. My final one would be something to encourage positivity. When the world is going to hell in a hand basket, it’s easy to give in to the negative bias. But Patsy always makes me smile.

[@goldenfd475]

Wonderful night sky and great news about the book Colette; cant wait ; well obviouslyIi can!

[@heathermcelroy3303]

Hi. It just takes time and patience with any rescue. Patsy may never be an off leash pet but she will just love you more and more as the weeks, months and years go by. Great company and smart as a whip.

[@louisegolder3276]

I'm so glad you are so understanding of Patsy, I've known owners who have given up on jack Russell 😢 She's a very lucky girl ❤

[@mrsplumbridge4888]

I'm sure Patsy will get there Colette dogs are very clever aren't they, they sense a human with a good soul, especially if rescued. I had a Leonberger for 10 yrs (if ypu know how big they are) she was a bugger off lead but such a fabulous friend 😊 x

[@christinestockdale5768]

Beautiful crescent moon Patsy has a mind of her own she is lovely

[@Tmp130]

Patsy is precious with her floppy ear❤

[@annstubbs2256]

Still got my mouse Collette !! Had to empty the cupboard and the drawer got a bucket trap for this evening and if I catch him I’ll keep him safe possibly until spring ….if I catch him 😂 I’m sure he threw a cacti down at me 😂😂😂

[@annaeriksson5065]

She’s so busy! Headstrong like her mom she is! She knows what she wants, and she will go for it😂 You’ll get there❤️cuteness overload. Lots of love to the pair of you from a snowy Sweden.

[@lisabradley7292]

Thank you for this wonderful video Colette. I love your books! Looking forward to the next one! ☘️ 💚

[@mikeinportland30]

Very excited for new book! Patsy is so funny when she randomly hops on three legs at times with a hind leg up. She's in such a rush for the wonders ahead she can't wait to put all four feet down. Cute!!

[@katherineb6102]

Border Collies like Jack are bred to listen, even at great distance and Jack Russells are more independent and have been bred to seek out and chase down prey. She's a happy pup and that's what matters.

[@lm9753]

Patsy's little legs are SO cute! So funny to see from behind., as she walks. Colette!

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Such a lovely video Colette. Thank you so much. Hugs and love ❤

[@angelagentry562]

Hi Collette, it seems like I keep getting unsubscribed from your channel. 😢 this is the second time in the last 6 months I’ve had to resubscribe. But I’ll keep doing it no matter how often it happens. Love to you and Patsy.

[@bealtainecottage]

This is happening to so many that I am beginning to be rather suspicious 🤨

[@pyewaket1]

Three things is such a good idea I'm definitely going to try it. Thank you. X😊

[@bealtainecottage]

You’re welcome 😊

[@natashab2304]

Very inspiring Colette - thank you! And thanks to Patsy for making me laugh! She's an awesome little being 💖🐕💖🐕

[@jmck6320]

Cant wait for the next book!

[@janetwalker1383]

Gosh Colette. I look forward to reading your new book. Might I/we pre-order? You inspired me and gave me ideas for the next 3 months and beyond. Thank you.

[@patgentry7268]

Terriers, especially the girls, have Focus! Beside you is the only spot to be…I raise Cairns and recommend a fenced yard, especially near the house…so you have peace of mind about the bolting.

[@juliaminastirith14]

Greetings from Holland my Celtic Sister

[@nicola4789]

I would also keep her on a lead. It is the most responsible thing to do. Good exercise for both of you.

[@maxinedefty9390]

Lovely video Colette, thank you. We had some snow today in the north. A few beautiful foxes have been around ours today, I think they start mating and “ calling” to each other this month. We always had jack Russell’s , even when I was a child. They all would of faced a lion 😂. Beautiful wee dogs xx

[@elizabethmcmeens1436]

Good morning, Colette and Patsy!! Best advice ever, Colette; keep it simple. Patsy is so happy lead or no. She is so obviously content. So precious, she is!♥️ You have given her the very best life. 🕊️🧚🏽‍♀️🏡 Thank you for the morning stroll. I love touching Ireland through you. So many blessings to your personal acronym, BBW! Loads and tons of love and hugs to you, Patsy and all. ♥️🪶🕯️🕊️❄️🧚🏽‍♀️🏡🐦‍⬛🌙⭐️

[@9FatraBbits]

Wonderful walk and visit. You and Patsy are the intrepid pair! Your witch Hazel is gorgeous and I’m envious as mine does not flower. (Might be in too much shade?) I have a “daily task” list. They’re all quick things, habits done early on so that the Walk is the reward. 🐇💜

[@mrstiggywinkle]

If you take a ball with you, you can throw that to keep her attention. I had a Jack Russell for 15 years! Don’t get me wrong i loved her but i wouldn’t have another one! She was a killer! Xx

[@prchocolate80]

Love seeing the two of you walking in the food forest. Just a warning some types of sheep if chased drop dead. Then the farmer would have to be compensated for the loss. Not sure if all sheep are like that. I had friends who’s dog chases sheep and that happened.

[@christinestockdale5768]

Hello Collette and Patsy love your garden its fabulous

[@suginami123]

My sister had a Patterdale and once she had the scent of a rat or mouse she was in another realm. To calm her my sister used a water spray which broke the crazy mode. She calmed down. Very strong and loved icy cold water for a swim. I suspect P is hearing the cars, smelling the sheep like you said. She is so perky and heppy.

[@margolovesflowers]

Truly Colette, You are such a hard worker and keep both your cottage and your grounds immaculate and beautiful; I can’t imagine that you are ever idol. Your BBW plan sounds wonderful. Greatly looking forward to your new book! What’s it about?

[@bealtainecottage]

Thank you so much! Imbolc.

[@jsaysyay]

such a pleasant video to watch i ended up watching it twice lol, can scarcely imagine just how much Patsy is seeing for the first time every day as well. i definitely want to get outside more now myself, especially after how hard the last month, or last year in general was, especially since my family lost one of our cats a couple days ago

[@gracev2335]

The sky shots were stunning!!

[@veronicasmith1147]

Good tip😂

[@carolwhite6979]

your wee Patsy is very quick. So maybe you could set up a big securely fenced area for her where she could safely be out on her own while you are working. A shelter, some toys, a good fence she cannot climb or dig under. It would give you some piece of mind when you have to focus on the task at hand. I do like your monthly focus ideas... BBW! I may adapt Mine would be; Clean out, Sort, Donate! I sill save the Walks for warmer weather.... -40C here on the 🇨🇦 prairies!

[@clionamm]

Wow I'd totally forgotten about the 100 days of walking. I did it in 2018 and took a photo for insta each day (a way of making myself accountable/do it!) and now that you've reminded me I need to do it again, as I'm not motivated enough...yet! If could just make myself read one of the many books I have waiting to be read, whatever about writing one, I'd be doing well! The phone is such a distraction...Patsy is a sweetie.

[@celticlassie]

Hi Colette (we share the same name 😊) what a beautiful part of the world you live. Just came across your channel and so happy I did.

[@theherbalsanctuary811]

Beautiful walk...we had terriers growing up and that nose is just too tempting not to chase and explore. We couldn't get them to be off lead, I wish you best of luck. SHe is such a cutie.

[@gill8779]

I have two rescue Borzois & I am very lucky that they are very close to my husband & me. They only half heartedly chase rabbits & come back when called. For sight hounds this is rare as they are known for chasing small animals. I have always had this breed as they are so easy to look after & mine don't even bark!.

ITS A DOGS LIFE AND FANTASTIC TO SEE

[@bealtainecottage]

Haha!

[@NubbinLubbin]

I love your energy. I have recently purchased an acre of neglected woodland in United States. I have to do some clearing as much of the land is brush and weed trees (brittle and invasive). I am an older lady starting this project. How did you plan out in the early years your woodland? Did you have long term visions, take sections of land and work then go to another section, plant certain things first?? Any advice would be appreciated.😊

[@nancykelly9393]

Good for you! I'm in the USA too and have thought if doing the same thing. I know there are areas where the woods are in sad sad shape cause of honeysuckle, ivy, etc. It almost doesn't matter how you organize the work, every little thing you do will be an improvement!

[@mysticmimi3924]

Beautiful

[@judyrice3883]

I have had three and living out they can never be trusted. City jacks are totally different they don’t have as much to chase. I have always had to leash them. It’s fine at least I know they can’t take off and I lose them

[@pascale6560]

Hello Colette et Patty. Little Patsy is adorable. I would like to know how you feed her if it’s not indiscreet. I'm having trouble finding the right food for my 3 female dogs. That I love your garden.💕

[@pamelakincaid7489]

Love the dragon breath. And love Patsy she is so cute. I am going to try and work on not getting things done. I can't let it set anymore. Been out in the yard when I can. Texas is a strange place. HA!! We have a lab and call him Trapper. He is so sweet. He loves to out in the yard with me just to walk around. What would we do with out our dogs.

[@Swanwillow]

Patsy is cute! ❤

[@inchw0rm]

haha i know what you mean about the cakes in winter😅 my partner and i now have an apple pie and pistachio pudding pie that we made last night and its too snowy to get out and share any of it hahah

[@lisabradley7292]

Thank you Colette. I find your channel very inspiring. I would love to learn more about your transition from big city to country living, lifestyle changes, priority changes.. are you partly on the grid, partly off? I'm thinking that might be easier to do.. I'm in my late 50s
