Christmas Day on Bodmin Moor

We had a lovely walk on the moor on Christmas morning. They love the snow.

Merry Christmas

It took ages to get this photo of our girls. Elsa was not keen on the hat at all.

Snow time in Bath

Having just bought a 2nd home in Bath, the dogs love the change of scene and being in a city, there are so many new friends to make in Victoria Park. They look like twins when they have their coats on.

Chinese vsitor!!

17 week old "Mei Lei" came to visit for the weekend. She's a chinese crested powder puff and I was a little concerned the dogs would be a bit strong for her but Molly played the matriach beautifully and kept Elsa under control. They got on really well.

Good Citizens ...

... a proud day for us as Molly went for Gold and passed with flying colours. Elsa was going for Bronze with a question mark about Silver as I was not confident she would do the 2 minute "stay" element of the test but she surprised everyone by just lying there until I said she could get up. Three weeks ago, I couldn't keep her still for over 30second. She did everything perfectly.

Just the two of us ...

Sharing a stick ...

Together... Molly and Elsa

Out on the moor ....

Elsa at 5 months old

With Molly back in season, towels are on our bed as the 2 dogs like to rest up there from time to time, during the day/evening. Elsa looked pretty as a picture so the camera came out for her 5 month photo shoot. She is so photogenic...butter wouldn't melt!!

It a lovely holiday ...

... with Molly and Elsa in the Isles of Scilly. Bryher is so dog friendly, free to roam although there was an incident with a chicken! It survived with reduced plumage. Molly was much better with boats this year, Elsa not sure and had to be carried on and off. We walked miles and the dogs were absolutely exhausted at the end of each day.

We do like to be beside the sea ..

   
... Elsa is confident and jumps the waves as they come in. They are having a lovely time.

On top of the world ...

... at Alex Tor on Bodmin Moor.

Molly and Elsa visit Rio ...

... not in Brazil! Molly and her pups recognised eachother immediately and played beautifully together. On arrival, both Rio and Elsa had lost 2 of their puppy teeth. By the end of the afternoon, they had each lost 2 more! It was so entertaining to watch them all interact and lovely for me to see Rio so happy in his new home.

Just the two of us ...

... enjoying the river and lovely weather on Bodmin Moor. Elsa's ears are still forward but as she has lost her first puppy tooth this week, things are progressing in the dental department so her ears should move back to the side when the second teeth come through. She's quite leggy but skinny, always on the move but like Molly, doesn't like too much sun and finds shade in the heat.

Not on the settee ...

... Billy's not allowed but just wanted somewhere comfortable to crash out, with his playmate Elsa, after a busy day

A romp in the grass ...

   
Billy returns for a short holiday and joins Molly and Elsa.
