He needs some youngsters to play with!!

This week we have had the company of our daughter's dog, a kind and gentle Staffy, with three older grandchildren around and about for the puppy to play with. They did come especially to see him, didn't they??

He has had a grand week playing chase, the chewing game, the jumping onto laps game and lots of other unidentifiable puppy made-up games that he wanted to play. Well they did come especially to see him, didn't they?

We went to the beach again and to my favourite dog walk place, a local hill fort, where lots of friendly adult dogs taught him how to behave and lots of friendly adult people said that they are looking forward to watching him grow!!

The training took a bit of a back seat this week what with all the excitement of having a house full of young people and dogs. Hey-ho, we all had a lot of fun.

The long car journey to the caravan at the weekend was a triumph however, achieved with the minimum of trouble as the puppy was on the back seat of the car. I hope that it didn't set a precedent. Back to the boot on our next car outing!

He had a lovely time in the caravan. The seats are low enough for puppy legs to be able to jump up onto. The windows are all round so he could see all the action from the comfort of a warm caravan. Best of all we were available to be jumped on in the middle of the night for a very comfortable, cosy, sleeping-bag berth. Aaah, doggy bliss.

A busy week for a little dog.
