Tug of War ...

This is Ted E (Bear) & Pand A (Bear) & they are both Newfoundland puppies under 1 year old. The Newfoundland was bred as a working dog for fishermen and are probably best known because of their prowess in the water and for life saving. They are big muscular dogs & have a double coat as well as webbed feet to enable them to power through the water.

We were invited over to meet them as they are new to the family.

Good old Wikipedia tells us that "an unnamed Newfoundland is credited for saving Napoleon Bonaparte in 1815. During his famous escape from exile on the island of Elba, rough seas knocked Napoleon overboard. A fisherman's dog jumped into the sea, and kept Napoleon afloat until he could reach safety"

Sunny day but cooler 

A spitfire & a Hurricane flew over tonight ...I read later that the H had Mayday-ed prior to getting home because of a serious oil leak. Both planes landed safely at home base - RAF Coningsby.
