Dogs in the mist

Nice to wake up here, knowing that we don’t have to go down to Rio till Wednesday - and it was a lovely morning, with the sun already pushing the mist away by the time we emerged. The dogs were happy to have us here too I have to laugh out loud every time I watch Chacha rocket down the garden to fetch a ball. Kayla doesn’t get the message at all. She must be more sheep dog than retriever – she doesn’t know what to do with the ball if she gets there first (which isn’t often), and canters back alongside Chacha, barking. Trying to persuade her to play, or herding her?
