He used to be fascinated by the waves and the sea foam.

We (and dogs) are never too old to play, chase a ball, take an interest. When, a couple of days ago, I suggested to my father it'd do him good to build a sandcastle, and see it washed away by the tide, I probably took it too far. Not only because he doesn't live anywhere close to a beach. Neither does he play ball.<br /><br />Chiming in with Jennifer above, so happy for Billy,<br />UUrsulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722046288685936851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-26660930108533276722021-11-05T11:02:43.656+00:002021-11-05T11:02:43.656+00:00He's surprisingly popular; it's non-stop p...He's surprisingly popular; it's non-stop petting when we're out.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-25901762032827630022021-11-05T11:00:29.601+00:002021-11-05T11:00:29.601+00:00It was our biggest worry.It was our biggest worry.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-80096245627881209342021-11-05T10:59:53.379+00:002021-11-05T10:59:53.379+00:00Whilst avoiding those pesky thieving Seagulls.Whilst avoiding those pesky thieving Seagulls.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-7521799314303530122021-11-05T10:58:50.350+00:002021-11-05T10:58:50.350+00:00My people had a cottage in Wales, and up there BC&...My people had a cottage in Wales, and up there BC's were the dog of choice.
