Honey would like to send happy "half-birthday" greetings to her lovely family of seven, six months old today.  So very best wishes go out to the four girls - Diva, Lola, Roxy and Smudge, and the three boys - Tully, Robbie and Myllo.  Some of them are on the verge of starting their showing careers, with first outings just around the corner - good luck to all!

After much soul-searching on all sides Smudge seems to have returned to us on a permanent basis, and as far as we can tell has settled well and turned over a new leaf behaviourwise. Her sister Roxy has gone to keep Christine's lap warm, and the two of them are bonding well.  We all miss Roxy's easy cheerful presence here but things have a way of working out and we hope we have made the right decision.  Those with observant natures will spot the exchange of KC names between the two pups, a simpler move at this stage than submitting two lots of transfers!
