we finally decided that grass was just not working out for us here, so a very good friend of ours was commissioned to re design our garden and I am delighted with the results....we do need to flourish the boarders with shrubs and I have ideas of trailing some lovely scented climbers around the pergola, but the ideas will come.
Helen Doyle's husband Pete did a wonderful job and I am very happy with the results..thank you Pete!
 

This boy is so very wonderful.
At just 6 1/2 weeks of age, he is confident, self assured, easy amongst the adult dogs, playful, clever and a pure joy.
He is KC registered
Argentcymru Farid
the name Farid  is an Arabic masculine personal name or last name, meaning "unique".

My beautiful Bertie is five weeks of age. 
Bertie is as bright as a button, enjoying the company of my teenage sons that play enthusiastically with him, and the long cuddles off myself.
All his poos are done outside on the restricted patio are outside our french doors, and to be fair, are most wees too.
Bertie is a beautiful golden red colour. He has a thick wavy coat and soulful eyes.
Bertie sleeps through the night and looks forward to his breakfast at 6am.
Bertie is on day 3 of his panacur which he has taken like a man...bless him!
I love this baby boy.

Bertie is now 3 weeks old and walking around the whelping pool.
He is weighing in at 3kg! A big boy!
Bertie is very observant, he follows me around the bedroom and walks towards me for attention which of course one cannot refuse to pick up my little bruiser and flourish him with love.
How I am going to be able to part with him I don't know.
Layla continues to be a wonderful mother. Attentive and caring.
The rest of the dogs are now allowed, under Laylas close supervision, to enter the bedroom where they have been banished from for the past three weeks having to spend their time in my childrens bedrooms. So very gently things are getting back to normal.
