On Sunday Kirstine braved the snow and ice to come and collect her puppy Sona (Talraz Happiest Day) - definitely Mr Personality Plus this one and her other three dogs are going to be astonished by his attitude!  As Senior Dog here Meg has had a few "words" with Sona and he at least has polite manners with his elders, but his high energy levels and endless curiosity mean he is a dog of action - Kirstine will be kept busy with this boy, a lot of fun!  We wait eagerly for the progress reports.......

On Monday Honey had her birthday - it's hard to believe our lively little brown girl  is already five years old - where does the time go?

Her mum Ruby joins us in wishing a very happy birthday to Honey and her eight brothers Jake, Bruce, Cooper, Wilbur, Sam, Rudi, Santa and Harvey - four slate and four brown - and also sends special get well wishes to Honey's dad Murry (Ch Merrythorpe Mulberry), currently convalescing from surgery.

"Get well soon Murry" - from your happy Talraz family
