9th Feb

I have brought the kids to the park today

Aunty Marion came too and we met lots of nice people and dogs

I wanted the pups to see that we can be friends with other dogs and not to be frightened

I think the other dogs were a bit frightened of me but I am a softy

They soon made friends with me

While I was busy sniffing out good marking spots, I got sneaked up on!

Where are you going dad?

Good that will keep him busy for a while

Oh no it won't!

7th Jan

Callender House in Falkirk is a favourite place to walk dogs

It is perfect for the puppies to explore

  The bigger one's stay on their leads so that they don't let the pups run around to much

and off they go to see what they can find

Indi has to go and fetch them all down the hill...he took them all up there and left them!

Come on puppies this way.

Spoilsport!

Then it's all back to Brian and Marion's house for a puppy play

Rainbow is such a cuddly girl, she loves her mummy

and Toby too but he loves Dad!

Briagh gets dried off after she fell in the pond!

Ailidh tells her she fell in last week!

Rainbow fell in too!! Brian is not getting to baby-sit us again!

7th Nov

Mum and Dad are taking us off on holiday to Arisaig, it is our duty to stick our heads out of the window in case we get lost.

Morgan heads straight for the fish tank in the hotel, her favourite food!!!

Next day we visit the village of Mallaig, the people here are so friendly and helpful.

Here we are at the harbour with dad, and we see someone coming to speak to us.

They told us about this fab. beach

Come on Morgie lets go

This is better than the last place, we ran in the water and both disappeared under it, it was deep!

Look out mum coming through!

I love my mum

but I love running with my sister, she is mad!

Hey Indi look what I found on the bed

It looks better than my bone

Thanks mum maybe now I can get the top off!

How did I get Morgan's bone?

She had a little to much to drink!!!

Lots more pictures to come!

11th Nov

Nothing it wasn't us

We got blown in by the wind mum honest! So did our dish.....

How on earth will I get you out of there now?

This way.....

Indi opened the door mum

Does anybody believe my sister? I don't think so!

Aug 23rd

Hi everybody... can't stop lots to do!

New smells to investigate

Trouble here I come!

Me and my shadow!

I follow her everywhere

Heading home again after a fabulous day out.

Morgan was second and Indi was third in Junior

July 22nd

Why is Morgan the tomboy in her prettiest dress!

Both Indi and Morgan all washed and polished for the Leeds show.

She can stand beautifully on her own.

She is such a pretty girl, but then I am such a proud dad

The two of them are usually always together

Unless Morgan is up to no good, Indi likes to steer clear of trouble..'When did we get more fish?'

Come to Morgan fishes!!!

Morgan is always in trouble....but she has to be the most spoiled, loved wolfie in the world.

Who me? ...Can anyone guess who chewed the arm of the new couch?

July 21st

Muddy Morgan!

Indi is always in her shadow, but he doesn't like to get dirty

Hey Indi come on in the water is lovely

7th May

Here we are arriving at Ann and Ian's (our brother Barney's mum and dad) house for the weekend.

Tara meets Harvey who has popped in to visit.

I make myself at home as usual.

Harvey is happy to see Brian again

Morgan is not sure where she is but it sure feels strange.

 What is this stuff?

Jenny says it is called sand and we are on a beach for a run!

Well come on then lets run!

Look out!! Miles of sand and we run into everybody!!!

and each other!

Come on Tara you are going the wrong way....

I like this sand stuff it feels good on my paws.

Robert you should take off your shoes and walk in the sand.

Look you can leave paw-prints too!

This is the North Sea...Mum told us...

we don't know what that is in the water...

and  we are not waiting to find out...We know loch Ness has a monster and that might be her on holiday!

Look you silly pups it was Jenny having a swim!

Where is everyone

They have found a cave.

Come on Indi lets explore it.

Wow this is cool....it sure makes your ears stand on end!

Hey wait for me Morgan.

Look Indi those paw-prints are HUGE! I wonder what made them?

Hang on it's a bit dark back there.

Yeh, lets get out off here.

This is great stuff to run in..Now we know Darcy and the boys feel in Guernsey.

Yes but they don't get rain like this....do they?

At least we have Brian the pack biscuit carrier with us.

and the sun is out now and again.

and we are all going to have a birthday party next week... Tara is two and we are all one!

Life is great when you are a wolfhound.......

March 29th

Dad told me he was taking me and Morgan away for Easter...hurray!

Morgan nearly never got because she pinched yet another toilet roll (her seventh this week!)

Give me it back dad!

You are a naughty girl

Here we go! ...........Where are we going Morgan?

We are off to Aunty Susan and Uncle Chris's

Max says hello to us

Then Gus the retriever

and Sammy the retriever

and Ralph our brother.

Morgan wants to play.

Sammy and Gus are lovely boys they are happy to let us all share their home.

and Ralph is happy to see us too

Everyone is off to a 'Hat Party' do you think I will get to go?

Don't be silly Indi it's for people only...we can have a party here on our own!

You don't want to look as daft as mum and dad do you?

Or Aunty Susan and Uncle Chris!

everyone had a great time

Help me open the gate Morgan

I can't get it to open

Now what do we do?

My mum will open it for us

after I give her a big wolfie cuddle!

Move over and then and she will let us out

wait it's cookie time!

me first

  One bone and five dogs...who is going to have it

The goldens can have it.

Next day we are off to an Ice-cream farm!

I like Ice-cream..I think!

We have had a great run here, they have a huge fenced in dog run for us to play in

five Ice-creams please!

The ice-cream arrives

Ladies first dad

then me

The goldens wait patiently for theirs

Morgan has finished hers and now she wants mine!

but I like to take my time and she just ate hers all up

Look out dad she is going to get it

No she isn't!

Next day we all go out for a run

We had great fun playing at chase

the goldens were in the lead

and we lost them

we did look for them

but we were not in any hurry

then we spotted them on the way back down

so we chased them again

I found a daffodil patch

and Morgan squashed them!

Morgan had to go and find Ralph who had gone the wrong way!

All back safe and sound....ready to go to town

Here we are in Dumfries a pretty town on the Scotland/England borders

It was not to busy but we met lots of people

Ralph had to be dragged away from the kiddies roundabout

stopping for a biscuit break

mum and Susan go off shopping leaving us to look after the men!

Morgan loves a bargain so she wants to go too!

Till she discovers the benefits of staying where the goodies are.

Do you think we should phone Harry and tell him where we are?

No chance he is with his Uncle Brian and won't even notice we've gone!

Mum can we play with the baby? Yes if you ask the owners first

Hang on I smell food

Where?

More admirers

You forgot to take my picture!

Down by the river

This was all under water last month!

I dare you to jump in Indi!!!

No way it would be very silly

because Susan has biscuits.

Where is mum

She's not my mum

Here is my mum and dad

Thank you both very much for a great Easter weekend...and our chocolate eggs!

Me and my mum

Morgan and dad

Ralph and Susan

Chris and Ralph

We don't know who this is......but he does look familiar.

March 21st

The boys had a great walk without the girls today......

Me and my dad are going up the hill today for our run. He is going to teach me to hunt without the girls getting in the way.

Come on son the squirrels will all be hibernating before you get up there!

Ok dad lets go!!!

  I am not going without my mum!

Get up that hill you big woos!

Have a good sniff son, that is fox you smell, we are not allowed to chase them.

Come on dad you're so slow!

We will just see about that, now have a good look round here for those squirrels

Can't see any. Are you sure there are some up here?

Come on dad I will race you up the hill that's better than looking for silly squirrels.

come back here you cheeky devil!

Got you!

Who's the daddy?

Ha you won't catch me again!

Yuck it's all muddy here!! Wait for me Indi!

Ok dad.

Don't stop so quickly next time!

Hey dad I can see the pub from here!!

Watch for snakes in the heather Indi!

Help there's one!

Bet it can't run as fast as us!

Hey dad look at me I can run faster than the wind.

You still can't catch me.

You can stop running now I was only kidding about the snakes!

He is so stupid there are no snakes here.

dad look out the snakes beside you!

Nice one Indi

What will we do now dad?

We better head back the girls will be wondering where we are.

Indi watch the trees for the squirrels

and look down the ditches for them too.

Do they taste good dad?

Don't know son I have never caught one!

So tell me again, why are we looking for them?

because I said so!

Ok dad anything you say.

We will have to jump the stream Indi

Feb 10th

 Mum and dad took us up the hill for our run...

suddenly there was a loud splash!!!!

Morgan had ran right into the water at the deep end... and Megan was laughing at her.

Abbie made sure she was ok...we were all laughing at her.

She ran to mum

Mum said we had to run around to dry her off.

then we got a biscuit from dad.

I like to stay close to mum

Me and my daddy find a fallen tree

Then I'm off for another run with Morgan

She is planning her next move

I just follow on

Like a lamb to the slaughter

but I don't get out of my depth..she is the one always in trouble... not me!

Well I am not getting into anymore trouble because of her from now on I am going to be a good boy.

Feb 3rd

This is how well behaved Morgan is at classes...Bill has to sit on the floor and hold onto her. She is a pest!!!

Ok Bill, I am sorry she is your dog and you have her very well trained.....Yeh right!

Torin does his STAY!!!

Torin still does his stay!!! I think it runs in the family....

This is his brother Stygg!! he lives with Paul and Helen Clark in Scunthorpe North Yorkshire...Another lazy hound!!

Torin has such a lovely smile.

Jan 26th
