I have been asked for an update on Bea's puppies, so here are two new pictures of the 'twins', Brady and Bliss, who have decided to stay here with the rest of the Brambledale family.

Two of their litter-mates went to their new homes at the end of last month - a boy to Norfolk to be trained as a 'search and rescue' dog and a girl to Yorkshire to compete in agility ......

Which leaves little Teddy (so called because he is so cuddly)

below:

It would take a heart of stone to resist such a charmer - but I really mustn't keep him, so he is waiting for a really special loving home...........
