Don't like Peas, Mum

Thought for a minute we'd finally found something Merlin wouldn't eat, he ate everything else first then decided to finish them when it looked like I might take them away....

The pups have been really horrible the last couple of days! Merlin has barked at me constantly and Molly pulled me over. So I have black and blue knees again. Tonight they have been playing so madly that in the end after Merlin leaped across the room and landed on my throat I dragged them apart and after just 2 mins separation they settled down - now both asleep in the same room.

My motto is often "this too shall pass" - but I really wish this phase would hurry up!

A difficult week - and it ain't over yet!
