Hi Pauline ...yes he's a dear old soul..
Hope all is well with you and your family ..I am enjoying this weather !

We are all fine ...thanks. Came home to a flooded cellar after our hols...c'est la vie!! Been clearing up so hence not had as much time for puzzles...back on track now.
Its great being out in the garden in this, isn't it?
The animals do suffer though. Our dog is so daft, she will just lie in it despite all our efforts to shade her! The cat as well..and the rabbits!!! It's like a zoo here...all from the rescue centres!!! I get roped in something terrible!!!
Hope all your family are well.
Take care

Hi again Pauline
He's a crossbreed ,GS/Lab..but he's got more GS in him than Lab.He's about 11 now.
When we lived in Wimbledon we had not long lost our previous dog at the grand old age of 17 when my neighbour asked me if I would take him in.He had been dumped at the builders yard where my neighbour worked.
I said I would have a look at him and when Tony brought him round he came in,settled down and has been with us ever since ! He was about 18 months old when we got him.
