Bottoms up!

Got up at 8am, and Archie was just waiting in his bed (in the hallway). He only peeks round the bedroom door now - he doesn't come in. He just fits in with new rules without complaint - what a good boy!

JR took him for a run in the Meadows later in the morning, where he met lots of familiar dogs, and JR is getting to know all the dog owners too.

I took a notion to mow the lawn, and managed to do it in between showers. Archie helped. I love this 'bums up' pose - I should have got it on his year one anniversary date, to match the puppy pose, but that day was so wet.

I gave him a wee whizz over with the clippers before his bath yesterday - it's a much better way to keep him looking smart. He's not keen to let me near his head/ears with the scissors/clippers, but last night he was so tired, I could snip away as much as I liked as he slept on my lap. His ears had about 1cm of spare hair along the edges.

Maybe I should have been a hairdresser...
