When you have clever friends

 Further to the pictures I posted last week, Mark Hicks has sent me a montage of photos/video from the day (which he does professionally too).  

Life goes on

 Whilst I am still very upset about the loss of Florins puppies the dogs live very much for the moment and their needs have to be met. We were lucky enough to be invited to walk with friends who have 2 Itzapromise poodles during their weeks holiday in Devon. What was meant to be a stroll along the beach ended up as a 12 mile walk :) 

Florin

 Today I should have been announcing the birth of Florins puppies, instead I find myself mourning 4 babies who made it all the way through pregnancy only to fall at the last hurdle. Florin is stressed but physically fine. Not only am I very upset for Florin and myself, I'm also upset for those families who have waited so long for these puppies. Florin was checked by the vet this morning and there is no reason to suspect that this will happen again, so assuming all is well on her next season, we will try again.
