By Hi Mo, Nicky and everyone.
This is what Ghilllie'
s been doing whilst you've all been so active. Celebrating his 7 month birthday [ Born14th August? i get confused with Brewies birth date.]
A bit tired, but he did encounter his first pair of hares over the weekend. Fortunately he was on the lead at the time. Gordon's arms are still hanging out of their sockets.
He also enjoyed a spot of television last night. Here he is watching the No1 Ladies Detective Agency. The bit with the lost dog in it. He also likes football on the box - he tries to eat the players. I approve of this.
Mo - he grew out of his tartan collar. If anyone knows a source of large tartan collars, please let us know.
And to prove that he has got legs and does move about, this morning he encountered his first deer. Again we were fortunate because we were in a small, fenced wood. He disappeared over the horizon, yipping wildly, whilst the deer made a quiet exit in the opposite direction. so, not great at hunting yet, but full marks for enthusiasm.
And here he is, with legs, on holiday in the Borders three weeks ago. He has grown since.
We are currently running 'puppy boot camp'. Recall is expected at regular intervals on walks, but obviously fails if he is down wind of something interesting. Walking on a loose lead is coming along, if we walk very quickly! And, if the blackbirds in the garden aren't being too interesting and the treats are good we can do sit, wait, down, up in rapid succession. off the evening stroll round the village, fast.......
