Great to meet at last! Sorry I had conflict this weekend. Would love to meet your dog, whom I've heard much about. Hope Stephen took pixs? Dudley is now happily playing with his treat 'game board.' I'm amazed that he's figured out how to remove the white 'bones' in the middle (mouth & paws) before sliding the side doors to access even more treats. Just imagine strangers  greet me in the park with, "What a beautiful breed, but so stupid"! What! Where did they get THAT idea? And why volunteer such a negative comment? Dudley is ready to take on treat board canine challengers any time. He can wipe the board clean in 2 minutes now!

Very sorry for your lost Christina, and somewhere envious too, as today it is the first anniversary of the departure of my beloved boy, but I did not have your chance to keep him as long. I am happy that you had all this time with your lovely Star and I am sure many many great memories. My thoughts are with you.
