Dougal out for a walk

This is Dougal, our new puppy of just over 3 months.  (See the extra for what he looked like then.)  He's grown at a huge rate and become quite confident and biddable; in the right place I have no problem leaving him off the lead.  Provided there are no distraction, he sits and waits if he gets too far away.
The morning dog walk is when I take most photographs so the last year, without a dog, has been rather sparse.
