Running the Gaunlet

Always an interesting time - however today we managed to complete it with nary a bark or a lunge despite the distraction of Tinkerbell (damn stupid name for a dog, sorry, rat that barks, if you ask me).  The secret, ha, all will be told upon Sal's hupeeps return.

We did off-lead in Church's field; Sally and Kiva running along together Mylo, how seems to have had a personality transplant, happy to walk along beside me.

On the way home we managed to find and take home a lost dog - Sally being most agreeable and even enjoyed a quite, yes quite, chat with Lulu and her owner.

Not much else to report - Sally sleeps, Sally eats, Sally jumps up onto the sofa - Sally sleeps, Sally roots around in the toy basket, Sally chews on a bone, LOUDLY, Sally sleeps, Sally washes herself VERY LOUDLY.

Hope all is well in the land of far-far away.

Lappy days

Sal Latest Holiday

After getting over the after effects Kanto's "I want to hump Sal" episode (Mylo had to remind Kanto that Sal if anyone was going to hump Sal it would be him)  things quickly settled down and the rest of the evening passed calmly - in fact it's been pretty calm ever since.

Walking the 4 of them was a bit of an issue on Monday (Kanto liked it here so much he wanted to stay another day) however with me taking Sal and Mylo Louise was more than able to manager brother and sister Kiva and Kanto.  Kanto went home yesterday evening and since then Sal has rediscovered the toy box, the sofa and how to make the most of the dog-flap.

Pictures, maybe even a video, will be added later, but for now rest assured that Sal is as chilled as ever - now if I can just do something about her snoring .........

Hector Gets Wet

A beautiful day here meant for an enjoyable walk.  Out of the house for 11.00 and home for 1.00 - not all walking I hasten to add as we did stop off for coffee at Nina's on the way home (Nina being the Munsterlander with whom we have been walking).

The nice weather meant that the dogs could enjoy the garden:

And the pond:

 Especially the pond:

Fortunately a hose was at hand to give Hector a good wash down before coming home.  As I write the dogs are all sleeping, Kiva and Mylo in the shade, hector in the kitchen and, hopefully, drying off.

I Kind Of Like It Here

Dogs to play with, company at night and all day, access to the garden (though I can't suss the dog flap thing out), walks with other dogs, lots of things to chew (and ruin .... tee hee) and lots to eat.

This is one of those rare occasions when I am actually lying on my bed - most of the time I'm dragging it round the lounge or the garden with Kiva chasing me.

Hector has settled in well and is a wonderfully well behaved 10 month old boy - rumour has it that he might be back with us in August - if so it can't come soon enough.
