Thanks to Alyse for some lovely pictures of Ellie busy with her latest project.  Together with her friends Molly the Great Dane and Olly the Yorkie X she is fully employed as builders' assistant and supervisor with special reference to any digging which needs doing.

Here she is in action.  The ball has an important role to play as well.

In the meantime Ellie's sister Diva has been to visit a very handsome stud dog and is now safely mated, so fingers crossed for a happy outcome and the patter of tiny Beardie paws in nine weeks' time!
