Murphy

Murphy has been on his hols with us this week whilst his folks are away ski-ing in France. He's a much more active Bernese than our dog Behr even though he's much older (he's also a wee bit smaller and lighter). In this case he is chasing a biscuit uphill. Behr (in the background) adopts a more laid back strategy and waits until the biscuit rolls back down the hill towards him - less energy for the same reward. They get on well together.

It's interesting to see the reaction from people when they see 2 Bernese being walked. 2 people this week thought they'd had too much alcohol to drink the night before as they thought they were seeing double.

Speaking of alcohol - a visit to the fang farrier this morning resulted in a clove-like flavour persisting all day. I can vouch that that flavour does not mix with the lager I had with dinner tonight. It's a sure fire way of ensuring no more alcohol until the clove-flavour disappears. Looks like a dry weekend then in more ways than the good weather we've been promised in the forecasts.

Enjoy the weekend blippers.
