More Blue Sky; Thanks Gordon.

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that ever since our unelected prime minister announced a general election that the weather has taken a turn for the better :-) So, at last, I have something to be grateful to the Labour (sic) party for.

Anyway, enough political satire - you came here to read about dogs and we have plenty of those, so many in fact that I can't escape from my desk. I would take a photo of them all but unfortunately to get my camera would mean disturbing them - and that would be cruel.

Wheeto woke us at 6.45 again, that dog is either smart (knowing Lou had to leave early today) or Obi isn't playing with him - let's see what happens tomorrow.

We have done the first walk of the day; Obi calmly walking alongside with Wheeto at the front eagerly hunting out sticks to pick up, carry, chew, discard. Home for breakfast, yup, you guessed it; 4 dogs = 4 different diets. Obi having his raw mince and kibble, Wheeto his "Fish for Dogs", Kiva and Mylo a mixture of kibble and, in Mylo's case Nature Diet and for Kiva 1/2 a pouch of Butchers tripe - fussy buggers.

They all enjoyed a treat last evening being allowed to lick clean the pot used to cook my speciality ham and mushrooms in creme fraiche served with pasta.

After dinner Kiva decided to make herself comfortable.

Last evening whilst updating the Dogs to Stay Facebook page I got into conversation with a fellow Lappy owner living in the Lake District (lucky for some eh?). She was keen to find out who "the big boy with the good coat" was, when told it was Obi and that he had been neutered Sara responded; "He does look lovely. Typical, every time you see one with a good coat it's always because they have been neutered." Obi; you have another fan.
