Vile people who have bought dogs as a Christmas present and now no longer want them! Apparently the local rescue centres are over flowing and have no more room.

It's very tempting to go and get one but a new dog and Mum just wouldn't work. I miss the walks and the welcome when I get in.

Xmas

 

I don't know why people do that. Surely they know looking after a young animal is hard work. It's like looking after a baby.

I can never believe that they don't expect hard work when bringing up puppies - chewing and messing is all part of it.

 

yellow flowers - I don't know the plant name but it's always flowering in December. woody stem and yellow flowers. Lovely to see.
