Growing up

Grey cocked his leg for the first time today. The event was all the less momentous for the fact that he'd first started to pee while in the basement of the house chatting to a friend. So quick rush to the outside after stopping him mid-flow and there it was, like the monolith in Kubrik's 2001. The leg was well and truly cocked. Thankfully, he's back to the girlie squat since then. While I'm happy for the boy to grow up, I was kind of hoping he might turn out to be one of those dogs that never gets the whole leg cocking business.

Noticed also yesterday that his adult lower canines are peeping through. Will have to keep an eye on them from now on to see how they come through in relation to his upper jaw. Fingers crossed.

Had a lovely walk with Nelly yesterday evening. Funny how different they are together when there are no other dogs around whipping it all up. Nelly swims a lot. So far, Grey hasn't caught on to the idea. He paddles out halfway and waits for her to come back with the ball.

So let's lighten the mood

Grey's fine. He had a nice relaxing time at home. Woofed (pardon the pun) down his lunch. So not down in the dumps. We were back in action for his evening walk on the beach with his new best friend, Nelly the springer spaniel. The two of them have a general love in going on. There's also Ivy the greyhound, Cassie the saluki mix and Bo the bouncy bodacious poodle. But it's 11 month old Nelly that's the apple of his eye at the moment and they're a lovely even match.

I'll try and get pictures soon. I've had a few camera malfunctions with a ruined new digital camera and a lost phone on the weekend. Boo!
