Because I can, and because they're so lovable

Why I will not throw sticks for them in the park ...this is their idea of a 'stick' ... (they pulled this out of the bush and between the two of them, carried it through the park and dragged it down to the stream. Other dog walkers we regularly meet say they always know we've been in the park by the random tree trunks left lying about!)

Caught! Red handed and brown pawed! Proof that the husband has gone completely soft (puppies are not allowed on couches)



And, if that wasn't enough, further proof that the husband has gone soft ...

Before the husband goes to work at night, he makes himself a coffee, me a hot chocolate and the dogs a fluffy!! (Puppies waiting to be released so they can have their fluffies (over their left-over bickies - yuck!) )



All three babies sharing the fire last winter (disgusting carpet eh?).

The husband decided to make Jess a 'proper' Border Collie and painted her a white stripe while we were doing the bathroom.

(I promise that no Border Collies were harmed in the making of this photo. The paint washed out. Eventually.)

Jess hiding. Probably as a result of incidents such as the painting one.

Puppies hanging out, being pals.
