The Minty One

Here he is, fair puggled, after an energetic game of ball in the garden this morning.

In the afternoon we had a long walk into the village, down to the home farm and round the viewpoint field. Of course we then had to walk back! At one point, as he looked up at me with pleading eyes, I thought I might have to carry him home, but instead we I sat on a bench and we had a rest for five minutes, which did the trick.

When we got back it was so warm I sat out on one of those red Adirondack chairs (with its red fitted cushion), while Minty preferred the coolness of the grass and Pookie sunbathed on the gravel.
