A dog's life: Kelso

We were asked to go dog sitting for some close family friends in Kelso, something Pippa was more than enthusiastic about. I was not. As it turned out though even I warmed to them. It was an unseasonably warm few day's spent almost exclusively in shorts.

Stressed?

These are the two dogs, Lucy and Megan. Lucy is Megan's mother. Lucy is relatively relaxed and Megan, though this photo doesn't suggest it, is usually madly active. She can spend, quite literally, 3 hours chasing bird shadows.

They're the friendliest dogs, pop anywhere out of sight for 5 minutes and they're wildly pleased to see you on your return. This, I must admit, I found mildly irritating at first, since their pleasure is most frequently manifested by copious drooling over your trousers. Hey, it's a dog thing! But I either got used to it or better at dodging because soon I was pleased to see them too.

The active one

Of course during her active phases I didn't have the camera to hand.
