Aug 25th

Hurry up we are getting left behind

It was all your fault Trudy

Cat and Mum took us out for our walk as usual

but when we got there we realised Trudy was not with us???

Cat walked on with 4 of us and mum went back to find Trudy

she was shut in the garage!!! and quite happily eating the duck food!

 and after a quick bath she was none the worse

everybody was relieved to find her safe

and Toby thought it was funny (he would)

She loves her run, but seemed happier locked up with all that food

Ebony swims in small circles and never leaves the edge

her and Jack are the only ones who have attempted swimming

Jack loves the water

Us boys are happy just to wade in

Pickle before her accident

she loves running with Ebony, but now she is on strict rest

Ebony chasing a stone

Gabby climbing out a ditch....this is a great place for us to play in

Mud, water, hills, trees just perfect we all love it

Pickle is a wonderful girl we all adore her

Lets jump the ditch

Megan waits for us all to catch up

follow Cat

I will wait for you mum

Toby (mums shadow) always walks behind her on the way back

Well behaved and obedient... always 

well usually

but then a treat now and again helps

Gabby says time to go home
