Our Friends (2)

Sam here is pretty cute too. He used to have to stay on his lead a lot because he hadn't graduated from "school", but he is really good now. I do have a thing for fellows with a bit of spirit!

Golly is Sam's sibling. He is more of a cultivated gentleman type. Sometimes we touch noses and stuff. He is outrageously handsome!

Here we are having a little game. I do a little dance to attract Golly, then I run away and he "eventually" follows.

Sometimes Jangles thinks he is my chaperone and he pushes in to break up our games. Lots of times, just when I get interested in a guy, in comes Jangles, pretending he is just playing. I'm not fooled!!

NOT happy Jan!!!!!

This is little Annie. Jangles thinks she is a lot like his cyber-girlfriend, Missy. I hope she doesn't read this - she is very jealous of her Jangles!

With a tongue like that you never know what she could do! She is just a baby really and is definitely into any game, so long as it is boisterous.

Bronte is still a bit unruly too - she is a youngster and even tried to get me to play roughly. Well, I can tell you that I graciously declined! Jangles was all for it though!

I don't know how they keep it up for so long. They run around and chase each other, then they wrestle, then they run again etc etc. Far too energetic for a young lady trying to maintain her poise.

Harry is a lot of fun. He runs around but without being too rowdy. I think he likes me because he lets me smell and stuff.

I sometimes do a bit of chasings, so long as he doesn't run too fast or too far!

Ziggy really loves to play chasings with his ball. Sometimes Jangles tries to beat him to it - fat chance. Ziggy is pretty fast and VERY focussed!

There is nothing better than coming up with the ball and then getting it thrown again. He just doesn't seem to tire. Don't you just love athletes?

What more can I say than that this is the "little whirlwind". Her name is Millie. She is so fast and furious that mum said it was impossible to get anything but an "action shot". Here she is giving Jangles a hard time - and he just comes back for more. He is surely smitten!

Well, finally we managed to get her "resting". Pretty cute eh?

Maxine is also a "dynamic darling"! She is just a puppy but Jangles thinks she is absolutely fabulous. I have told him that she is just too young, but will he listen.....?

He has bitten off more than he can chew! But, there is no escape Jangler boy! No good trying to run away now - she is just too quick!

She will chase after anyone - the young ones are so fickle! Here she is offering herself to Bonnie.

This is Clyde. He is new to Balmain. He was recently rescued from the pound. He thinks he is in "heaven" now - and he hasn't even met Millie (AKA - "the little whirlwind") yet.

They look like they might be brother and sister - that would be a major disappointment eh!!

Clyde and Jangles had a great time playing on the beach. I don't like to get too dirty myself so I just "promenaded"!

Well! This is a turnup for the books. Jangles checking out someone else! Mostly it is Jangles who is always being checked out - by the boys!!!!

Conrad might have some competition! (and Golly, and Sam, and Ringo, and Buzz, and Coco, and Dougal, and ........!)

Jangles just loves to have fun and can play 'til the cows come home! Actually, we have never had any cows come to our house - I wonder where they go when they "come home"?

Phoebe is getting on in years now but that doesn't stop her setting the standard for elegance! She chases her ball and can find it no matter where it goes even if her eyes aren't what they used to be.

This is my friend Ling. We prefer to promenade and enjoy the view as we discuss life's little problems.

Miss Bonnie also prefers the gentle ramble to the scurrying rabble. But we both like a good roll in the grass! (If you know what I mean!!)

They have no shame! Blaze and Panda might be "first best friends" but such public displays are quite unseemly! Panda is such a little tart!

Now this is my kinda guy! Gorgeous Dougal. I haven't seen him much before - I will have to make sure mum takes us to the park more often.

Panda and Electra love to play tug-o-war with a stick. They are such tom-boys. I hope they grow out of it and learn to become a bit more ladylike. We do try to set standards but so far, they have failed to follow our example.

Panda about to pounce on an unsuspecting, but gentle, passer-by.

Panda and Electra just love to run on the harbour wall.

Guess what? Panda's sister has come to live with her for good! How exciting is that? Would you believe that Honey is a real, litter sister of Panda? Well, she IS!

Jangles thinks that she is just gorgeous. He is trying to behave himself and be a gentleman but I keep telling him to "remember Trixie". Sometimes you have to be more assertive if you want to win the lady when there is so much competition around. I can tell you that Blaze does have eyes for her too!

How much fun is too much fun? Blaze, Bonnie, Electra and Coco just having a ball.

Jangles and Blaze trying to get in on the game of Tug-o-War with Electra and Panda. They have no chance. The girls are just too fast for them.

Now, is this a little charmer to die for? Bud is so handsome and I try so hard not to be "forward" but sometimes a girl just has to go right up and have a sniff!

Chai is one of the tom-boy brigade. Sometimes Jangles can't take his eyes off her she is so gorgeous. I, personally, think she is too young for him - but you can't put an old head on young shoulders! She does play a bit hard to get and it drives him wild!
