Meeting up with Rio ...

We had a lovely long walk with Rio. He's a very gentle big boy and all three thoroughly enjoyed the same style of play with eachother which is totally different to most breeds. Lots of twisting and jumping at the same time, patting eachother on the back and bouncing everywhere. It was a joy to watch. Getting them to sit still for a photo shoot was not easy but patience prevailed.

... and Flo came too

For the first time since the pups left us, we had the pleasure of seeing Flo. She's slightly taller than Elsa and quieter. It was so good to see her with her loving family.

Boogie ... meets Billy

Boogie and Billy had a chance meeting in Dorset. They recognised each other and had a great time.

Billy on a holiday visit to Cornwall ...

With his smart "summer haircut" Billy came to see us while his family were on holiday. We had 3 walks with eachother in woodland, beech and moor. Billy witnessed Molly's first successful hunting mission when she got a rabbit (see main blog). Billy and Elsa are such good friends together...double trouble. A gorgeous boy.

Clever Murphy ...

... has got his Good Citizen Bronze Award and he is now working towards his Silver. Facially he looks very much like Molly...butter wouldn't melt.

Nice new haircut for the big event. Paddy looks a big boy. Apparently isn't keen on the hat.

Elsa in the snow

Even in thick snow, Elsa will always manage to find a stick and the bigger the better.
