Tess was in her element this morning as she met up with one of her siblings at Derwent Water.  They have the same parents but are not from the same litter.  Guess what her sibling is called?  Tess and she's 4 years old!!  Tess1 is ball orientated and my Tess isn't interested as she just wants to play and is quite bouncy.  She did lots of paddling but no swimming yet. Tess1 is a good swimmer and reminds me of Misty in that she just glides along.   It was so good to see my Tess having so much fun both in and out of the water.  She even barked a few times in excitement which is a rarity.  I've now had her for five weeks and she's come a long way.  She's fast asleep at the moment.  We all had a  great time and it was good to do lots of chatting to Tess1's owners.  I'm sure we'll all meet up again.  More in extras of the two Tess's having fun.

Also worthy of a mention,  13 years today I posted my first blip!  How time flies.  Not an official blip milestone due to missed blips during my first year, but I always like to mention it.
