Quality time with mum

Hero loves working and playing and running in the fields, but when he comes home after a busy day, the absolutely best thing in the world is to lie on the sofa on mum's leg and hold her hand...

Quality time for Hero is to be so close to me that he has physical contact and it is extra special if he can hold my thumb in his mouth. He doesn't bite my thumb at all - it just has to be in his mouth.

Don't you just love all the strange little habits that our dogs have? It really is what makes each and every one of them so special.
