We finally have a female dog in our pack! Carla is a lovely gentle giant who loves a good game of stick and plays beautifully with the other dogs. She is fitting in fantastically well and is always a pleasure to walk.
Also, hello spring! Its finally drying out under foot and the muddier paths are now firm enough to walk on without fear of losing a welly. Horay!

On Wednesday I took the dogs for wander around Waggoners Wells. After a few minutes of standing on the side the ducks came over to have a look at us. This is Sanchez’s ‘looking at ducks’ face…
He was very good and didn’t dive straight in after them. He looked at me with a sideways glance as if to say “is it ok if I get in?”. I gave him the nod and off he went…
And then much to my surprise, Milo plucked up the courage to jump in too. Normally he won’t even step in a puddle!
… the obligatory shake… definitely more effective OUT of the water…
…followed by a manic run around to dry off…
