Although the dogs love their holidays
they are just as happy at home, whether meeting up with friends, running free or
enjoying home comforts.
Golden Rugs
We've Golden rugs in our house,
That lie round the bed at night,
Their deep furry pile in the morning
Warms our feet in dawn's chilly light.
By breakfast they've moved to the kitchen,
Lie rumpled all over the floor,
Snaffling up crumbs from under the toaster
Then look pleadingly, hopeful for more.
Come mid-morning they are damp and dirty,
From the wet and the mud on the Downs
So they're spread out to dry in the back-porch,
In smelly, untidy mounds.
Then, once the sun's reached its zenith,
The rugs spread all over our home,
To warm sunny lounge or cool hallway
- quiet corners considered their own.
And later, during the evening
They lie quietly in front of the fire
With twitches and grunts of contentment
From their dreams of fun and desire.
So now the end of the day is upon us,
The Golden rugs have gone to bed for the night
And their deep furry pile in the morning,
Will warm our feet in dawn's chilly light.

their sofa.

Amber loves to carry things in her
mouth - even a hair brush will do.
Wiggy spent many happy hours playing
with Calem during his stay with us.
Calem enjoyed playing in the
garden..........and peeping at me through the flower pots.
The dogs in their garden enjoying a
raw meaty bone.
If you're going to be naughty it's
best to do it at home.............and Wiggy seems to think a smile may help!
If a smile does not work you can
always hide!
Harley and Wiggy enjoying a run on the
stubble field!
"The boys" are the best of friends!

13th February 2008
Today Wiggy and Amber enjoyed a walk
by the river - where they found some mud!
Things soon went from "bad to worse"!
Amber looked very pleased with
herself!
They waited patiently for permission
to jump in.
They had great fun swimming!
With the sun shining behind Wiggy it
was easy to see how much water came out of his coat!
From Amber's expression it was easy to
see how happy she was!
The dogs love to collect items on
their walks - Wiggy managed to find an odd glove!
He was happy to share with Amber.
The glove was carried by Wiggy and
Amber for the rest of the walk.
When he was not
carrying the glove Wiggy was having fun off lead.

along the way they managed to find their share of mud!

Thankfully we have a room where the
