The Italian Connection - Harry the Spinone

Warm days with occasional rain has allowed the grass in my fields to suddenly grow, although one is more yellow than green due to being covered in buttercups.
Despite the height, the dogs still enjoy the chance to let off steam in the grass, even though they end up yellow !
Two little characters who do enjoy being outside are Betsy (l) and Boris(r), my residential training guests. These Bichon Frise have recently arrived and at the moment are always on the lead. Once they know what my recall means they'll be allowed to explore like every other dog. Despite being very close to each other, I'm training them seperately and am confident the leads won't feature in too many photographs !

Betsy & Boris

"Are you still looking at us ?"

One member of the gang who did miss out on a journey into the meadow was HRH, who, if you can't tell, is showing just how miffed a Chihuahua can look !

"I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll ........ please let me in !!!"

One dog who is off the lead and long line altogether is Tally. When she first arrived, this youngster would literally pull me out of the kitchen and then the utility room to get outside. But those days are long gone. Now, she sits at the doors until told to come through and from there on it's walking to the heel. Well done Tally !!

Tally enjoys playtime when school has finished for the day !

And finally Cash, Fran's 9wk old Cocker who is proving to be a lovely little dog, full of character, inquisitiveness and fun - though quite what he's looking at, only he knows !

Only Cash knows what he's looking at ---- or does he ??
