Right then...
... it began just as we entered Villa Lane and came face to face with a huge black (but fortunately dead) rat, causing lots of shuddering and pathetic mewling noises from me and great intrigue on the part of the pups who strained on their leads to get a better look while I dragged them past as fast as I could, only for...
... a huge bee to fly straight into my face, buzzing at my cheek, but fortunately deciding I wasn't worth stinging and as soon as that had flown off...
... an enormous articulated lorry decides to try and negotiate the extremely narrow lane, meaning that the pups and I had to dive into the nettles, buttercups and thistles, which stand about three feet high and completely obscured the girls for a while, until the moment the lorry squeezed past us at high speed and they decided to have a go at it so ran out of the undergrowth yapping and barking crazily. Fortunately they were on very short leads and I had hold of their collars too, but they were not going to let that lorry intimidate them one bit! After that we had to negotiate...
... all the broken bits of branches and twigs that the aforementioned lorry had broken off on it's manic journey up the lane.
Fortunately things settled down a bit after that and the rest of the walk was very pleasant. The pups are now sleeping off their exertions...
...and I'm going to do my nails!
LILY & ROSE
Here are some photos of Lily & Rose. There are a few from the first time we saw them when they were just 4 weeks old. They would fit on your hand at this age and didn't look much like westies!

When you say 'do your nails' did you mean glue the ends back on, or file them into shape again after chewing them all off? :o)
ReplyDeleteNeither actually - just a quick file and polish - then had to stay away from the pups till it was dry!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried "No more Nails"? The Romans pioneered it for crucifixions!
ReplyDeleteWell tried and tested then!
