Rugby Sunday

Brilliant day at the local rugby ground- Dylan and I stumbled on a charity rugby tournament on our morning walk so off Kev went to collect us a big bag of beer, newspapers and snacks and we spent the rest of the day lazing in the sun. Dylan lived up to his 'Arthur Chilcott' pedigree name and charmed all the rugby players and spectators with his antics. All home very tired by 6pm. I just about had enough energy left to raise the camera - same couldn't be said for the other two men in my life!

Sunny Beach Days

A beautiful sunny day again so off we went to a quiet bit of the beach to let Dylan have a run around. The tide was right out and it was very beautiful. Dylan loved pottering around on the pebbles and wet sand - not so keen on the waves covering his little cat paws ! The jury is out on whether this little pup will be a 'sea dog' yet.

Rainy Wednesdays

I saw some beautiful pictures of Dylan's litter mate, Alfie yesterday. He is so fluffy and gorgeous and has an 'innocent' look about him. Beautiful puppy. I'll try and get a photo for the blog. As a result, I was inspired to take some 'portrait pictures' of Dylan this morning . What a contrast to his well groomed brother! He'd just woken up and as you can see is just a  scraggy little outlaw ...but hey, this is who he is and we love him !

Bank Holiday Play Fest

What a lovely Bank Holiday it has been. Apart from this morning when it poured down first thing, we've had sun, sun, sun and Dylan has had a fun packed weekend.

Damian and Steve came to stay this weekend for Festival jaunts in the spiegletent - Damian is a complete dog whisperer and Dylan thought he was completely fabulous and sprang all over him at every opportunity giving us a lovely break from ankle biting - Thanks Damien! You can see their emotional goodbyes above. 

We also took advantage of the nice weather and took Dylan up to the lilac park again today where he made lots of new dog friends. Dylan especially liked the lovely little Staffie pup who was exactly the right size to have wrestling matches with... unlike the standard poodle and Husky - he was outclassed by their long legs pretty quickly ! And here he is competing for Kev's attention with a little and very hot Westy-Scotty cross .....  guess who had chicken in his pocket?

Crocs and Crocodiles

After a few nights of wet feet in the garden Kev and I decided to throw away our fashion sense and buy in a couple of pairs of croc wellies for muddy days with Dylan. They look like giant moon boots and should raise a few eyebrows at the local park. How did we come to this ? We'll be wearing bum bags next. 

Dylan decided to customise my red pair even before I'd had the chance to wear them . Look closely and you'll see the unmistakeable pattern of puppy crocodile teeth.... there goes my waterproofing ! Must have felt nice on puppy gums though. Bless him.
