I might have a bit of a trot with Megan
While rainbow and Morgan catch their breath
they don't hang about though!
Here they come again
Morgan is up to something!
Where can she have got too?
She has gone and hid herself in the trees
Megan has spotted her and gives chase
But the rustle of a bag brings them all back again
We all get a tasty biscuit
I hope yours was a low fat one Harry,
We can't all be skinny fat free models Morgan!
My dad is a wizard!
So is Morgan she has disappeared again!
Oh there you are we were looking for you!

Mud baths again!

well maybe not!
It works for me
and me
I am handsome enough thank you
Look mum I am in the water
ha ha just kidding!
See you all soon...in the meantime enjoy all the holiday snaps....love Harry xx
August 2007 in Northumberland
We had a very unpleasant experience on the beach when Indi and Toby who had happily been playing with any dog they met ( thankfully Paddy was safe at home with his mum and dad) they trotted over to say hello to a dog who had just arrived and the owner started screaming and kicking at them, he was shouting about aggressive dogs! People like this should not be allowed to own animals, he obviously does not understand that dogs are sociable animals and like to meet and greet their kind, yes of course we know our dogs are intimidating but he was way over the top and Toby was kicked three or four times before we reached him. If our boys were in any way aggressive then we as responsible owners would never take them out in public without leads on. Our dogs if they are snapped at will jump back and walk away from aggressive dogs, they never fight back, we know that, so we don't worry about them out in public places, however we never thought we would meet such an ignorant vicious idiot on our holiday.
2nd Aug
It is so quiet and peaceful in our garden today
The puppies are happy playing with Lesley and Emmy
They are getting more and more outgoing
Nothing frightens them
and those teddies are well thrown around
Teddy on the move!
McD is such a loveable little boy....how could mum let him go?
Megan doesn't want them to go she is a fabulous mother
(Emmy and Maggie) The puppies have super new homes to go to and they will be loved as much as
we are

how they can run and talk at the same time is beyond me
I am happy to just amble along
Look how fast I am going mum
Here come the girls they have been up the hill and back!
I have not been to well this week but I am much better now
Mum says I can have a walk if I take it easy
She couldn't believe it when I went in the pond
It was so nice and cool on my big paws
I just love to run but maybe a little slower this time
I can't keep up with Megan and Rainbow they are speed freaks!
dad and I go about the same speed
Mum is trying to get Rainbow to stop running long enough for a picture!
Hold on tight to those girls mum or they will be off again!
Yes I was right
Just us then mum
Rainbow is wondering where dad and I have gone.
we went back down the short road
but they went the long way with mum
and were still running around
in and out of the ditches they went
Till Megan spotted dad at the far end of the path
Off they went at top speed
Rainbow is fastest she has jet propelled ears!
and caught us up
then cooled her engines in the pond
Time to go
13th July
Come on Grandpa hurry up
puff puff here I come Rainbow
The day will be over by the time you catch up

Mustn't get my paws wet!
Not another bath Rainbow?
No just a drink this time
Time to go
18th June
Dear Daddy.....Mum has had a lazy day today....
She couldn't make the bed because...
Well would you move me?
She couldn't clean the dog room, not because Rainbow was still in bed
and Indi who is the laziest dog on planet earth apart from me of course
and not because Toby insisted on a half hour cuddle me session.
Look mum there is a big dirty paw-print on the window
There look!
What do you mean I did it, I should clean it.
I don't do housework
The ducks won't help
Megan has enough to do...so
It is up to Morgan to help out today
Wait and I will get my duster mum
Toby this is your fault...wait till I get you!
Best start with those windows
Come on Harry you are in the way again!
Now for the washing
Beds to change...it is all go here.
Thank goodness it was all just a bad dream
She wouldn't have a clue how to clean!
I would if I could mum
and as for Rainbow....
no don't go there....
Mum is too busy looking after the new Bribiba bunch to worry about housework
Aren't they so sweet.
Miss Piggy in the front weighs over three pounds and is only10 days old!
10th June
I got a visitor to 'Toby hug'!
It's Uncle Brian....
We will all hug him
I won't; I know why he is here!
Is he not up to visit the puppies?
Thanks for the warning Rainbow!
Ooh that tickles....
My turn now...
Don't take a picture mum my hair is a mess
That's better, who's turn is it now?
That will be Morgan then!
Don't laugh it might be you next!
This is so humiliating!
Can I be next mum?
Don't forget to do my tail now.
How did my dad get all wet?
Now we are going to brush you all!
I am handsome enough...you don't need to bother
See what did I tell you!
I won't brush you Morgan I promise
Thanks Uncle Brian
Double cuddles
Good he's gone!
Toby that is not nice

This is not part of the plan Morgan!
You should be a quiet gentle soul like me.
Yeh...right Harry!

Wait I have had enough!
That was fun Morgan
Lets go back in the ditch I need a drink
It's not often we see you with paws in the water Harry!
Wow! What happened ? You are all wet.

Look at her, she is no Lady.
You can't help love her
Just be thankful you can't smell her!

Megan don't get dirty please
oh well another bath day soon!
Spin dry you two and lets get on with our run
You won't see me wet and muddy.
Rainbow, now she just loves to be mucky
We have no idea why...maybe it is her mother Megan who started it all!
the muckier the better...
but me, I know how to get a drink without getting as much as a whisker wet.
and while the girls run about playing
I can pose on the hills in my best suit.
You only have one Harry!
And it is size xxxx large!
Wait till I catch you.. cheeky young pup!
That was fun, but I am a bit puffed out running
Who's who?
You can tell Rainbow she is always way out in front of us.

What are they waiting on?
This is an ambush!

Sorry dad!
Do we have to bring them?
Let me go dad squirrels to chase...
Ok Morgan off you go then
There must be some around here somewhere
Leads on time for a walk in the park
18th Jan
Megan, Rainbow and me out in the sunshine
It is a lovely day, cold but sunny
Megan is running around as usual
and we almost collided when I had a little run
but all Megan got was a bent tail!
The girls love a game of chase
these days I prefer to watch
Though I do a little bit of a run now and again
Megan stops only for a minute
We love having our pictures taken
but as Rainbow runs past
they are off again!
Rainbow has taken it upon herself to make sure all the frozen puddles are
broken!
That's usually Megan's job so she supervises
Rainbow( at the front) is so like her mother not only in looks
but in all she does...especially if it involves hunting squirrels
I am just happy plodding along.
Avoiding puddles
Those two are soaked!
Yes Harry but we are happy!
Megan even your head is all wet! How do you do it?
This is how to take a drink and keep dry
Those girls don't care
See how dry I am
and Megan is still dripping wet!
she is still a beautiful girl though
17th Jan
this is the funny face competition, Toby first
Now Morgan, who is fed up getting squished!
and Indi
My turn
Megan you are to pretty to pull a silly face.
Toby wins
Ask me why I am not surprised!
Briagh is a lovely girl, but as mad as Morgan was as a youngster
She adores Indi her dad
14th Jan
What do you get a Siamese cat for Christmas...a tree of course! Dennis is so fat
he has bent it!
Quick while the rain has stopped lets have a run
Here I am 5 years old already!
Still bright eyed and bushy tailed though!
and I have all my own teeth look!
I can still hear a pin drop a mile away!
I heard that! Who said I was fat?
I am just a big happy Harry
Harry and his harem!
No wonder he is a happy boy!
The rain is pouring down and the winds are gale force but mum makes us pose for
pictures!
Megan says... Hurry up mum I am soaked through.
But we always have a Rainbow in our storms...she is so like her mum
Me and Megan are going home now mum and poor dad looks cold
Right everybody that's it lets go
Well maybe one more with mum this time!
You don't want us to go out there in that rain do you?
I don't want to get wet
Come
on Toby it is not that bad
Nobody told me Torin was here
and Max Briagh and Penny
The weather got worse from here so not many pictures
You can see how wet we were
We still stopped for our biscuits though
So Toby was happy he came
5th Jan
Torin and Morgan are at the hospital to donate blood
Torin
has positive blood needed to save a flat coat retriever who was very ill
He was such a good boy and lay very still while the vets took his blood
He trusted his mum and knew he would be safe
Come on Morgan your turn
Morgan's blood is negative Torin not green!
All over and Morgan is very pleased with herself
Torin is a hero and such a laidback boy
The wolfies were so good and this is such a wonderful and easy thing to do
contact your vet and get your dog on the list to donate blood, one day it may be yours who needs help.
