Bennett's first Sunday meet

Last week was the first time Bennett was allowed free running with the Sunday pack. They all got on famously and Suki in particular took a shine to him. He ran around trying to keep up but did get easily distracted by muddy puddles!

Big dogs!

Looks interesting

Tasty

So you're Suki

Mortimer tries distraction

But Mortimer - it's just too big for me

He's always like this Bennett

Back to the puddle

Will you protect me?

Whoa! more friends

And not a cross word barked

Inevitable!

Fairweather friends

Sunday 4th March was a horrible day here in the Fens. Cold, grey and raining and in the afternoon wind driven wet snow. But we put on our foulies and off we went for our 10 a.m meet in the orchard. Mortimer was keen, he always seems to know that it's Sunday and he'll meet up with his friends but he was disappointed,nobody came.


Forward to Sunday 11th March and it was a glorious day, we were first in the orchard and Mortimer sat patiently.

Waiting patiently

First Zelda arrived.

In hot pursuit

And then Suki.

Nothing like a good scrummage

We did question as to why nobody had come out the previous Sunday and apparently neither Zelda nor Suki like the rain. Zelda (remember she is a guide dog) wouldn't leave the  shelter of the car port but Suki wouldn't even leave the house! Both big girls blouses!


But the beautiful weather brought lots of dogs out including this chap who is 15, deaf and partially blind,

Game old chap

his kennel mate wasn't quite sure of all the attention.

Mmmm you're a bit bigger than me

All the running around tired Zelda out but Mortimer was keen for more,

C'mon then guys!

but when he did stop it was only to see who might give him a biscuit.

Patricia's usually good for a treat

Friends reunited

The last couple of Sundays have been without Zelda, the guide dog, as the weather has been just too nasty for Jim to venture out much. But today was glorious, chilly but sunny.

Gang of three

The only problem was that as Zelda hadn't been in the orchard for a while she did keep stopping to have a bite or two of apple, leaving Mortimer and Suki to charge about.

Come on Zelda!

Just us then Suki
