Sure enough, as we approached the trees, a black and white Border Collie appeared. He was very friendly and said his name was Joe.

Despite our best efforts last night mum and dad insisted on staying up way past their bedtimes and saw in something they call the new year. In what has become an annual ritual dad gets his coat and shoes on and leaves the house just before midnight, clutching a small bag of salt, a cork [...]

Big excitement this morning as we ventured into the garden for our morning constitutional as all our sniffs had disappeared under a blanket of white stuff. Charlie chased the floaty flakes trying to grab them on his tongue whilst I tried to talk to it with a few well directed woofs. The flakes made no sound as [...]

Many leaves have fallen from the trees in recent days and the park staff have started to gather them ready for moving them to compost heaps. Buster spent many minutes inspecting these piles.
