My Mum has been shocking of late, she seems to think that she is Superwoman and can turn her hand to everything and as a result she hasnt been keeping the blog as up to date as I would like. I therefore send apologies on her behalf and will be looking for a more regular contribution from her from now on! Its simply not on.

Its been a really busy summer at The Vines, this year, if not busier than last year and as a result my head is spinning, dogs, dogs and more dogs. Some really cute girls I must say and then some rather butch boys which is a little intimidating for me, they have even been into my part of the house while their Mum and Dad have breakfast, but we are all so laid back that it went quite well.

We have even had a famous dog come to stay, Reggie a resuced Staffie came to stay with us back in June , just as the article appeared in the July issue of Dogs Monthly. His new owners had spent a lot of time on him and it really shows. He was Battersea dog and they think he had been used as a 'bait dog' by dog baiting rings, sounds pretty horrible to me..

We have some lovely pics of Reggie as he looks now which is lovely. He seems to like the water just like me...

PS. Getting a little nervous now as I heard my Mum say to a neighbour that we have a Great Dane coming to stay next week, he is only 18 months old, and enormous, oh my gosh...will let you know how it goes!

Bye, bye for now!
