Say Ahh...

I spent most of the day out of town visiting good friends. They live on a farm at the end of a lovely valley.... The Omaka Valley.
Apart from his wife of well over 50 years, Michael's very best mate is Bronson the dog.
Bronson is a part wire- hair Jack Russell terrier and is an amazingly intelligent little dog. He has very distinctive if not pretty, colouring and a very cute expressive little face....except when he is saying "Ahh".
Bronson loves hunting and his third favourite person after Dawn and Michael is Robert, the farm hand, who takes him hunting. Robert is working off the farm at present doing 12 hour night shifts with the grape harvest. Bronson hears Robert arriving back at his cottage at all hours and kicks up a huge fuss. He wants to go rabbiting there and then.
I helped Dawn and Michael track Bronson down on TradeMe when they were looking for a puppy. This little mite of a dog arrived down from somewhere in the North Island in " The Pet Bus". This special bus provides a service moving all manners of pets all over the country. There were even pet rats on the bus the day Bronson arrived.
I was at the railway station with Dawn and Michael to photograph the arrival of this much anticipated puppy. Michael is a big man of around 6 feet 4 inches. It was so touching to see this huge man cuddling this tiny dog with Bronson's little tail wagging flat out. Bronson just knew he had finally come home!
