Peace on Earth - maybe!

It is relatively quiet in our house at the moment. We have returned home from the wedding I had to play for at Tadcaster, and thankfully there was no adverse weather - In fact there was bright sunshine!

At the moment Hannah & Ben's three dogs are at Sarah's, having spent the day with her and Olivia, whilst I was playing the wedding at Hazlewood Castle, Tadcaster. They were going to go for a long walk, along with Sarah's dog Raffie, who is son to Macy. So they could be quite sleepy when they come back!

They will be arriving shortly, and in addition we have Mollie and Tom sleeping for the night, so things are bound to liven up when three dogs and two grandchildren arrive on the scene!

You've heard of the Stig, Well this is the Twig......

Hi there folks! It's Ruby here again. Just a quick blog to let you know that I had three visitors to see me this afternoon. Macy, Pixie and Twig. I promised you I'd get Twig's photos on the blog as soon as some were taken of her. Well here they are!

Pixie and Twig

Now that Twig has got to know me she plays with me just like Pixie. We had a great rough and tumble together this afternoon, whilst Macy was content to sit and watch what was going on!

Fun With Pixie

I mentioned a few blogs back that Hannah and Ben had got a miniature pincher, and on Thursday Hannah was round and brought Pixie (the miniature pincher) with her. The two dogs get on like a house on fire! so I took the opportunity to take a few photos of them, playing with what we call Ruby’s raggy.

Please can I have my "raggy" back?

On one or two of the photos it looks as thought they are about to tear the living daylights out of each other, but it is all play! Ruby is very gentle towards Pixie, and puts up with an awful lot of tugging and pulling from Pixie, who seems completely fearless where Ruby is concerned.

Despite the fact that Ruby can almost pull me along the hall when we are playing with her raggy, she has never yet dragged Pixie along the hall attached to the end of her raggy! This game usually finishes up with Pixie making a sudden dash and grabbing the raggy and running off with it and then secreting herself in some small space where Ruby can’t get to her! After a few minutes she will emerge dragging the raggy behind her just so that Ruby can join in the tug of war again!
