If you need something to make you smile...

If you've had anything like the weather we've had the last few days, you'll be in need of something to make you smile...(ok, I know none of you have, but humour me as I climb into my 3rd or 4th set of waterproofs...).
Those of you who are also on Facebook will have seen that - a few days after the Rehab Reunion - we got to the point where our fabulous hound puppies, Nelson, Nettle and Nutmeg had to go back to their grown-up home in kennels.  Nelson discovered he could scale all our gates at will and although he was an absolute sweetheart, it was time for him and his sisters to rejoin the big boys and girls.
But before they went home, we had a joint meet :-)

Our puppies, who had been angels about going out on foot and with horses had a joint escapade with Edward's hound puppies, Homer and Hopeful, who are from a younger litter but equally up for fun and games.  We took some footage of them being terribly grown up and behaving like proper hounds - sort of... It also stars Max the collie as whipper-in, and Felix as the hunt horse :-)  Hope you enjoy it!
...and to make us feel better - we have newbies - only 9 weeks old - who of course have Winston showing them the ropes...
Farmer...
...and Fiver...lots more about them soon!

Hmm, in that first picture they look suspiciously large for "puppies". They sure are cute, though!

Jen, they were only just over 5 months old in that photo - they are HUGE!!
