Hydrotherapy

As part of Murphy's on-going treatment for his hip dysplasia I take him swimming once a week. His muscle tone has really improved and over the weeks his stamina has improved so much that he now wears me out on our daily walks.

On a cold day like today it is lovely and warm in the water and he gets a good work out, especially now he doesn't have to wear a life jacket. He does get over enthusiastic sometimes and poor John the hydrotherapist has to make sure that he keeps his fingers tucked in when Murphy is chasing the toy. So far he hasn't managed to eat any of John's fingers - though it has been close - the poor man deserves danger money!!

The Dark Destroyer

I hope that nobody is looking for a Christmas card this year - the dogs ate my address book

Children in Need

I thought that it would be cute if I dressed the dogs up for Children in Need day in Pudsey neckerchiefs

They didn't!!

Bella took to her bed and sulked

Three Generations

While I was looking through boxes of old photos I came across this picture of Mum, Lesley and I.  I'm not sure who thought that it would be a good idea to take a picture of us in front of a drain pipe or why we all seem to be having a bad hair day but I still think that it's a lovely picture and I'm only sorry that we didn't get round to taking more of the three generations pictures when we had the chance. (sorry about the quality of the scan, that's probably more my fault than the scanner's)

Atlantic Sunset

What can I say - the sunsets were beautiful. What this picture doesn't show is the other 20 campers standing on the hill taking the same photo, we must have looked a right sight!

PS this is what happens when puppies don't finish their food - we were attracting so many crows and seagulls I kept expecting Billy Oddy to turn up with a film crew!

Traveling around Anglesea

Couldn't believe our luck with the weather, so we made the most of it and toured around a little before heading home.

First stop was at South Stack lighthouse for morning coffee (oh my god I'm beginning to sound so posh!)


Then we drove to to Newborough so that the dogs could have a good run on the beach before we had to set off for home




For a puppy's eye view of the trip and lots more doggy related stuff, check out the new pictures on the Puppy Tales blog

This is the last one -I promise

Makes you feel glad to be alive!!

Every minute the sky was different

I couldn't believe how beautiful a morning could be

Winter Sunrise

Look what you can see in the garden if you are up early enough
