Hope You're All Enjoying The May Bank Holiday!

First of all an apology!  I had said that not a lot had been happening in recent weeks.  What I did forget to mention was that Ziggy came to visit a few weeks ago.  Ziggy is Trio's sister and although we've been in contact since she left all that time ago, we hadn't actually seen her and her owners since she left as a eight week old pup!

We had a lovely time, lots of kisses and then a good romp on the beach with sister Trio, and mum Maddie.  She is so much like her mum! in looks and personality.  We'd arranged a latter meet as the girls were keen to come along too and see them all again.  I had hoped to meet up again later in the week but what had originally been a quiet week turned out to be exceptionally busy so this was difficult to fit in.

Will have to wait for the pics off Tasha's camera - and the reason I didn't remember (I use the pics on the phone to remind me what we've been up to!)

The bank holiday started with a beautiful day on Saturday, and with the children away for a few days we made the most of it.  We took Eve out to town and the car boot sale, where she took meeting some rather strange young people in the form of the YFC (Young Farmers Club) who were dressed up in some amazing costumes in her stride.  Lots of people and dogs to meet, so quite a pleasant morning.

They couldn't wait to go and have a dip!

Having a break on the way around

We had planned on taking the dogs out in the afternoon but were surprised at how hot it had become so decided to wait until later in the day.  We had been talking about going around Llysyfran reservoir for some time, but it's a long walk, and we knew that the children would want to go too.  Anyway we decided to go ahead anyway!  The dogs had a fantastic time, taking the opportunity to cool down in the reservoir or streams along the way.  The whole walk is six and a half miles, and we have commented on the need to fix the GPS on the phone on to the dogs collars just to see how far they go.  They certainly do at least twice as much as we walk and at a much faster pace.  They only slowed down for a short period about half way round and were still running at the end.  Not bad considering Maddie is nearly nine, she certainly keeps up with the younger dogs.
