Hello Besoeker welcome…
Thank you all for the very kind welcome.
We have been rather preoccupied with family from USA visiting us. Including two grand children aged three and eleven.
The dog is a large breed collie, all 37kg of him and we were concerned that he might be a bit big around the little lad. But here he is “restraining” that beast.
Aww, love that pic.
Max is Max. We got him from a rescue centre about three years ago. Shy, nervous, and skinny. Picked up as a stray. He has come on in leaps and bounds - no pun intended. He is therapy in a black and white fur coat.
