Party boy!

Not only did Ted enjoy his first walk in the outside world yesterday, but he attended his first social engagement.  A puppy party, held at the vet's.  And engage he did!  There were just four puppies. Three boys and a girl.  The boys - a black Labrador, a Border Collie, and Ted.  The young lady, a long haired dachshund, so sweet and pretty, who hid under a chair for the duration, looking out with soulful big brown eyes, too timid to join in.  

 The boys dived straight in.  They had a whale of a time, mostly spent underneath a desk, in a tumble of fur, wagging tails and good-natured teeth!  Ted was completely undeterred by the two bigger boys - twice his size.  He had an absolute blast, and is now counting the hours until next Wednesday evening's puppy party!

    What fun! But on the serious side - I wish every new puppy owner would take their dog to a puppy party or a puppy training class so that they could socialize with other dogs. It's essential if you want a dog that isn't aggressive when it meets other dogs later in life.

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

Coastal walk from Gullane to North Berwick

By the time I have walked about four miles, my toes are screaming at me - it's the arthritis, you see.  One of the joys of being that little bit older than I was.  However, for a long time, I have been keen to walk along the beaches, and follow the coastal path, between Gullane and North Berwick. So, having worked out the tide times, I decided today was the day, and off we went. Below is our starting point, the bay at Gullane.  It's a lovely beach, very popular with dog walkers. This is looking east, the direction Tilly and I were going to take. Looking back, up the Forth, the unmistakable bulk of Arthur's Seat, and Edinburgh's skyline, just clear enough to see. For most of the walk, there is the choice between wandering along a series of beaches, or following a path along the top of each. There's no denying it, at heart I am a shell-seeker.  I have loads of shells at home.  We lived on one of the out islands in the Bahamas for a just over a year, ...

Possibly the last post and a sizzlingly hot vase on Monday

The border in our tiny garden is in an in-between phase at the moment and not very colourful, but elsewhere there are pops of high summer colour and I have brought them together in my vase today. The running wave uses Blogger as it's vehicle and they are changing the way a post is created but unfortunately I cannot make the new format work. I can't progress beyond the title! I cannot navigate to the main body of the post to create text. The new template has no prompts for adding photos, weblinks, to format the text, change font etc. It may be my old MacBook that's as fault but I can't do anything about that!! Are any other IAVOM bloggers who use Blogger having the same problems? I have tried, three times, to contact Blogger through their 'Help' prompt and received no feedback or contact whatsoever. This post is using the old 'Legacy' format, which no longer permits any kind of formatting of text, and so after four attempts I have finally manage...
