Sammi Belle Strikes Again!
Today I had another lovely ish walk in Tremadog Nursery. The bluebells are still stunning, the whole place is awash with Spring colours, birds twittering and today the beautiful dulcet tone of me shouting "Sammi.... Sammi .... SAMMI!" But it was too late ... she was off and over the bridge....
I heard a man screaming ..No...No..NO. But I think he noticed quickly that Sammi was there to introduce herself and play with his dogs, she was not the "Alsatian" he had envisaged running to savage them. Still that didn't make me feel any better. I tried to run over rough ground to get there, but by that time, happy she had made new friends she was on her way back. Bless little Loki, he was so good and came back on the first call!
Like I've said before I know she's friendly, I know she is sociable, but she doesn't bloody listen. What if his dogs had been aggressive and attacked her? What if he carried a stick and belted her? In protection of his own could we blame him? Keeping her on the lead can't be the answer, that is not a solution, the solution is getting her to bloody listen!

I Use To Think ...
.... Loki Looked A Little Like A Young Louis
and at this age I guess there was a similarity - shorter muzzle, and fading mask.


But now, I don't see it at all!
I don't see his dad in his facial expression either. So who do I see? Shit, sometimes, just sometimes, a little bit of Kai! I guess it's the colour and the now longer muzzle which carries through that Bravos (Saber) line. (Nico has the same length of muzzle - but with a much darker mask) Otherwise Loki is nothing like Kai, no huge coat, no huge presence, and he still screams like Louis! Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm looking for something that's not there, doing exactly what I critisise others for doing. But if it gives me nothing else it gives me comfort that that slightly over long muzzle will indeed look fantastic when it matures!

The Places I Go With Work ...
From Pen Llyn to Pen Y Pass the beauty of North Wales never ceases to amaze me. With different lights and skies everyday is different. No I can't always stop to admire it, but some days it's less hectic and I can't help but stop and look at the amazing countryside around me.
Yes I love my new (ish) job!
Oh the pink house? ... What a waste, a semi derelict house with a view to die for. (the next photo)
