Meteors, Snowtime, Sleeping Lazy Bones and Romance in the City

Wow! Super Snowy Sunday Surprise. Surprised that his garden was suddenly white, Hamish had to be carried out to pee this morning but once he got to the park he was super-excited and had a ball with all of his friends. He was sliding around and diving in and peeing on all the snowmen - not popular with the real mummies and daddies, but hey! it's a park and it's a vertical surface.
Luckily Maisie has spots. We haven't seen her in a while - she's been in season. Still giving off a strong signal to Hamish though and he was a bit on her case.Retrieving is much more fun with a white ball and snow. Hamish did really well to find it and loved the challenge. Really I think these were some of the most enthusiastic retrieves I've seen him do.
Photocall for humans too. We all had a really nice morning together; cold, but even more fun than usual in the winter wonderland.
I was away last week and Hamish stayed for 3 days with Ruby. I came back to find that they'd been getting very romantic together.
Sound asleep in the back of Joe's jeep coming back from a long walk on Hampstead Heath.
Mr. and Mrs. McKahn snuggling up after a hard day's work.
The day after..............today most of the snow had gone apart from these meteors (goalposts really) - still good enough to pee on.
Ermmm? Three's a crowd I think. Stop wrestling and get your paw out of my armpit. Steven is trying to sleep (pretending to I think). This is actually the first time Ruby's even seen a bed never mind get up on one. Sorry guys but she lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvved it.This is the cosy scene I found when I came out of the shower this morning (yes, I know it's a dog and he shouldn't be in the bed). Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...Two sound asleep lazy bones - both as bad as each other.

A natural at ring craft....?

We thought this might be a sign of things to come and that he'd take to standing still easily for the judges at shows...not so at all. Hamish just thought ringcraft class was wicked torture. How could we take him into a room filled with potential new best friends and not let him play with anyone? Well, he just wriggled, pulled and whined for the whole time and went home very frustrated. They say it takes time to get used to it but we still aren't convinced that there's any pleasure in it for the dogs...? I'm willing to see it differently if anyone with better experience can explain why people bother to show?

What is this white stuff? After a brief initial hesitation Hamish loved the snow, but not for long as he hates the cold.
