Water baby - 1 year on

This is a portrait of a whimpering dog desperate for me to stop taking photos & throw something/anything into the water!

A obsessive madness seems to take over with water and balls; she is on such high alert.....I have to be careful - as she threw herself off the top of a 3-4 m high bridge into the water last week.

Much of today has been catching up with school paperwork, and counting the considerable cost (£) of us agreeing to fund the children on all the school trips and opportunities available to them.

We may have to cancel Christmas!
