It has been a while since we have added anything to the blog - probably because we have not really done that much different lately and also it is easier to update our twitter.

Chewie has been making good progress and we are off to see Auntie Anne later just to see how well she has done. She seems much more active chasing cyrils at the ends of walks as well as the beginning so that is great. She also seems to want to swim more - in fact it was Chewie who was swimming for the stick in the new pond we found and not Vader. He just stood on the bank making funny noises. He seems to be OK once he goes in once but it can take him a while to pluck up the courage.

We met a lovely black and tan shepherd at our local park. He was about a year old and his name was Rieley. Not sure of the spelling but I'll give him the same spelling as our last shepherd as he was also called Rieley. Young Rieley was lovely as you can see (that him on the left) and so friendly and affectionate. We have added a picture of our Rieley as well.
