Old friends

The Two Bennies (and a spattering of Beagles)

Today we met up with some old friends for a lovely long walk on the beach. "Auntie Lynne" appears in the gallery pushing the girls in their buggy...........I think we've only met up once or twice since then and we used to walk together every day!

Ben and Soelta

She walks with her Collie X, Ben who is 6years old, a neighbour's ageing Springer Spaniel called Soelta (pronounced shoolter), she's not as quick as she used to be but she's still a game old bird.......and another neighbour's 5 year old Black Lab whose name is also Ben, he gets called Black Ben to avoid confusion and he's been Snoop's best bud since he was a nipper.

Handsome boy!

Black Ben and Snoop used to get into all sorts of bother, they used to take off chasing deer and when Alfie came along he'd join in, training was going nowhere so we knocked it on the head for a while until I could get my lot under control..........that's out the window now that Rosie & Gabbi are here though! When I said the "B" word to Snoop today he got so excited he almost burst a bloodvessel and cried all the way to the beach (he usually doesn't make a sound in the car).

Benny-boy

Well, we walked for ages, catching up and the dogs had a whale of a time, Black Ben likes to be chased and, well you know the rest........
