Dog showing!

Sula went to the fun dog show at Muirfield Riding Therapy, winning the puppy class.  She did some serious socialising and we introduced her to Otto a fellow Bavarian.

 

Hibernating!

It’s been a wet start to the year and my step count has fizzled away to nearly nothing but I have occasionally, when the sun has shone, made it out.  Including one sit on Spider, many trips to the beach with an enthusiastic puppy, a visit to the Duddo standing stones and Jessica’s hen do.
