Warning: Dogs at play!

During the Christmas break, we looked after Jessie, one of Ruby’s puppies from 2014.

She and Simmie spent a long time

Chasing each other through frozen, silver grasses.

After a cold and invigorating swim,

The play continued.

(Can you see the water drops flying through the air?)

To an outsider, it might have looked

As if they were fighting —

But really it was more like love and frolicking

Between two really good friends.

  2. I am a dog lover who unfortunately cannot keep any dogs ( I live in a high rise apartment building and think it is absolutely criminal to keep animals locked in ) and love seeing your dogs having fun!

  4. What fun – we got our second dog after looking after her a couple of times, when her family couldn’t look after her any more.

  5. Oh Fiona, what a happy set of photographs! I love them all, but the first two of the frozen silver grass are amazing! It almost looks like a special effect. And yes, I could definitely see the water drops flying through the air. GREAT capture!

    Have a super-duper week, my friend!

  6. So cute! I love how excited they are to run around and play. It is like an energy they cannot contain to themselves.

  7. Oh, what fun, Fi…for the dogs, for you, for your camera, and then for us!
    I must admit Lindy got herself into my post for OWT this week. Don’t know how she does that!
    Hugs to the dogs from Lindy.

  10. It’s so good to see dogs playing. Our two love chasing round the fields and jumping up on their hind legs “boxing” with each other.
