Families and puppies

8:30pm and I am away from home. I'm down in England-shire visiting family on my Dad's side.

It's my Grandad's birthday tomorrow, but tonight we went to visit my Aunt and Uncle and their myriad of dogs. They've just had a litter of German Shepherd puppies, so at 8:30 we were playing with the pups.

This is my Aunt and one of the 4-week-old puppies.

20 years ago, I'd have run a mile, but I've learned to be much more confident and relaxed around dogs.

And they are very cute.
