    Thanks @Boogie, it looks just like a Meg Bed but half the price, will certainly look into buying one of those :)

    Mags I was wondering if that was wild garlic they were running through. We have loads of it and very oddly, whilst I was watching that clip, I got wafts of the wild garlic smell :D
    You have heard of muscle memory....this is smell memory LOL.
    LOVE the video. Looks green and idyllic and FUN!

    Yes, wild garlic :) Samson, especially, loved it. He's such a big bouncy boy that all dogs they meet are wary of him so he doesn't get to play a lot.

    Not Mollie!

    We've fixed up to meet once a month until they leave.

    We are on holiday on Lindisfarne and it's brrrrrrrrrrrrr cold! Lots of dog walks on beaches with full winter gear, followed by visits to castles and cafes, followed by evenings in the pub by the fire.

    We haven't brought Tatze, she's staying with friends. The pup can go everywhere with us and this holiday will be as much indoors as out.

    Puppy is being very well behaved.

    :)

    Mollie with ears flying having an excited jump at Daddy, I didn't laugh, nooo, not me!

    Heh, I loved the flappy lips. Crickey that's windy, though. You Brits have a strange idea of a holiday :rolleyes:

    Big smile!

    There are two Jack Russells next door and she's exhausted from chasing round with them :)

    Time for a Buster cube :)

    Mollie always gets antsy-pantsy when it's heading towards meal time. So a buster cube with a few tiny pieces of small dog kibble is ideal.

    Mollie has voted for the Monster Raving Puppy Party. Their manifesto included four meals a day for all Labradors.


    :D

    Mollie had her conformation and temperament tests today. She passed with flying colours, now the breeding centre will have a look at the report and decide if they want her to go forward for health testing to become a Brood Bitch.

    She has a very slight overbite on her teeth, but nothing to worry about. Also we could only find seven nipples, but all her lady bits are very immature at the moment so that's not unusual. They do accept them for breeding with seven but not if they have fewer.

    She's still got a long way to go - eye tests next month then x-rays at 11 months.


    :)
