Tess!

I visited the Lost Dogs Home yesterday for work. I had to get a photo of the place and of course took the opportunity to check out the merchandise. Who was I to find but this little JRT cross named Tess!



I couldn't stop thinking about her and this morning, we went and picked her up! She was so happy to get out of that place.



She still hasn't barked once, and she occasionally strikes these strange freeze poses when she runs to you.



But she seems to be a lovely, affectionate character.



Rosie and her get along just fine.



Scottie may look apprehensive here, but he's fallen for Tess' charms too, in a big way.



Tess loves the couch. She's sleeping there right now.



Look forward to plenty more from Tess!

Walking

We took Scout for a walk on the weekend:



I wanted to climb over here and have a look.



Such a pretty stretch



Scout loved it!



Quite the contrast to the skate competition they had at Fed Square on Saturday.

Penny and the rat

Penny presented me with a special gift the other day.



She was very happy with herself. I congratulated her and she writhed around in fits of ecstasy.





As I walked inside, I heard a loud crunch and she was biting off the head. Ah, the natural world.
