when roscoe met nev!

 

There's been a new arrival! Nev is a delightful little whippet puppy who has a new home with our eldest daughter and her family. A few days ago Nev met our Roscoe for the very first time. They seemed to get on fine, though Nev was a little overawed by the size of his rather bigger cousin.

 

Still, I'm sure it won't be too long before they're chasing each other round to their hearts' content!!!

 

encountering ellie

On a walk this morning in Cannock Chase our puppy met Ellie, another flat-coated retriever five years his senior. They tumbled and chased and licked and sniffed. It was such a delight to watch!

he's grown ...

a special time

We had such a fantastic time on Sunday.  Lucy and Mandy came round with their daughter, Martha. Guinea pigs were stroked, a puppy played endlessly on the lawn with a lovely young lady, cheese, bread and cake were consumed and conversation flowed effortlessly.

Have you ever met people you feel instinctively you've known all your life?  This was one such occasion and thank you for such wonderful, wonderful company!!

roscoe's return

Roscoe was back at church earlier this week to meet for a second time the ladies who run our Toddler Group. He's grown just a bit meanwhile as you will see from the final photo below, taken during his first visit three weeks ago.

 

And here's Roscoe three weeks ago on his first visit ...

 

mandy visits

Earlier this week legendary dog photographer and musician Mandy Burton visits. She's come to take some photographs of Roscoe, our flat-coated retriever puppy. Conversation, chocolate biscuits, coffee and tea flow endlessly in the morning sun and now it's time to take some pictures.

Never work with children or animals! Here are my photos - Mandy's will follow next.
