"The snow's all gone at work too!"

Stella is on her long line as she's taken to sneaking through the fence when my back is turned and grabbing the end of this is much easier than clambering through it after her!

One of the neighbouring households to my parents have acquired a German Shepherd dog so she gets confused and thinks it's my friend's dog and therefore wants to visit...we've met this dog on walks a couple of times and his owner has turned the other way as he's even less fond of mixing with other four-legged friends than Stella. A shame when they're so near.
