Memories of the Summer

Here in England it's cold and grey. It's still September but it feels like the winter already. My mind goes back to Dog Day a couple of weeks ago and to my week at El Refugio in May. Such amazing memories - and such terrible weather! Unseasonable. Such a shame.

But the weather did nothing to spoil the pleasure and excitement of being at La Cala and in Holland with the beloved people and the beloved dogs. I took loads of photographs and haven't yet put them all up, so will add some more now. In the coming weeks I hope to do some more posts on our wonderful Bodequeros and Podenco's - those gorgeous, bright, happy, noble dogs who are so often passed over. And the big ones and the old ones and the black beauties.

So here, for now, are some of the photo's from May.

Let us in! There's always someone trying to get into the office!

Podenco puppies. Butter wouldn't melt ...

... you think! Just look what happens when no one's watching!

Partners in crime.

The arrival of the pooh lorry! The drains get clogged. Need I say more :)

Snug igloo for sheltering from the heat or cold. Does anyone know a good wholesaler?

My beloved little Jerzy ...

... just look at his little face. 

Such a sweet, affectionate little dog.
