Pals at last - canine family members !

What joy to see Archie and :Elsa happy together at last.  Archie is  only 3 months old and has brought lively play into  daily activitiies with Elsa, who was  enjoying a very quiet  life at 6 yiears of age  before this cute little cocker spaniel arrivedon the scene. 

   Cheeky little Archie  has quickly becoime an integral part of the family and Elsa, who used to  resist my attempts  to fondle her - now seeks me out ...no doubt a result of some jealousy watching Archie getting a lot of attention.     I'm glad to be accepted at  last into Elsa's clan and it
looks as thoiugh Archie is "in" as well.

Some of you may recall a movie  called ODDBALL about a Mareema dog who guarded and protected a colony of island dwelling penguins ?
That dog is a Mareema breed, like Elsa.
