Oh they do love their mud

Poppy is a beautiful girl even covered in mud!!

Congratulations on having 2 pairs of matching shoes - we only ever have 1 of a pair and then we have to play "hunt the shoe"

She is really lovely.

And it's amazing how quickly they clean up too, once dry, the mud's gone.

She could be a possible candidate for Lynda's (Cobi & Ginnies MUM)
"muddy dogs calender"

Lovely photos. Had to smile at Carolyns comment about the shoes

When I first saw the photo'. I thought lucky you, shoes intact

It must be a first with a Goldie

We've had more odd shoes, than I care to admit to. Then again, it goes with the odd socks

As for the garden, well, I must have the best pruned plot in the Northern Union!! Willow's taken on the role of chief pruner, not with mums blessing though.

Have fun.

I know what you mean about the socks Lynn.

I thought I had everybody training to put a pair of socks in the wash basket but couldn't understand why there was only 1 in the wash - then ....... I found Amber headfirst in the basket looking for them

She is such a character - if only she could tell me where she has put them, the list of missing items is growing!!

Hi

I am so glad we are not the only ones with odd socks.missing shoes and
bushes that have not been pruned for years until we got jasper. Thought
we were doing something wrong you have all set my mind at rest. He
leaps up 6' to get bridget@s underwear off the washing line you can see
him looking to which one to take off. Also loves to try get in the leiier bin under the kitchen unit can bang the door so it pops open They are characters dont we have some fun

I had forgotten about the pruning of bushes Russell

When my daughter was born 17 years ago - her grandma bought a pink bush thingy (not green-fingered) - it has thrived over the years and covered about 2ft of borders. Amber has pruned it to a twig!!

Sorry Chris, we have hi-jacked your thread!

Hi All,
Not a problem, laughing a lot at the comments about pruning and socks! Funny Poppy has never really bothered with shoes but socks are another matter!!!!! As for holes and pruning I can't help laughing when she attaks the same bush as she is sitting next to covered in mud. It was a lovel spikey bush and now it is a mere stump!!!! Our house is currently up for sale and every evening we run round put soil in holes and try to make the garden look presentable.... loosing battle!!!

I know I shouldn't but she is so damn cute I cannot help but giggle to myself when she is up to no good and I catch her and she gives me the look which says... "what I did nothing wrong!!"

Thanks again for making me welcome...

Lucy is my first girl and before this didnt think girls would dig...how wrong I was, found out today just how good Lucy is at it,just wished I had my camera at hand,all I could see was fluffy knickers in the air and soil being thrown upwards...

I love the description of the fluffy knickers Kathryn - describes them perfectly!!

I remember Ian planting a new flower bed and Toby brought every one of the plants back into the house as a pressie for him
