@KayRace2 It looks like a mighty fine gathering! Mum looked on Twitter for details about it and couldn't find any. We'll have to head up in the summer hols. Maybe have a Holy Island tweet up of our own!
@KayRace2 Hi Cody! How are the 'rents? How are you? Here I am with my sister Winifred Buttons (now 5 months). She's almost as big as me, but not quite as fast! Mum's back at school tomorrow but we are on the big summer holiday countdown. Love to you all! xxx
@KayRace2 Cody! Winifred's safe to go out now so I took her to see our favourite lighthouse and we chased the ball. She's not very fast yet, but mum says whippet speed combined with lab retrieval skills and terrier tenacity will mean she'll be a force to be reckoned with.
@KayRace2 She makes me feel old, Aunty Kay. But yap, she should be at Bamburgh. Parsley, as you know, loves puppers, so has been escorting her round the garden and snuggling with her.
@KayRace2 Cody! Cody! I appear to have acquired a little sister! This is Winifred. She is a whippet/ bedlington/ labrador cross. She is 9 weeks old and is, quite frankly, wearing me out.
@KayRace2 Oh - paperbacks are so toothsome, Cody. You're making me quite peckish. It's been a while since I got my gnashes around a good book.Mum's reading the latest Strike novel - 900 pages. Not just a meal, but a whole whippety banquet!
@KayRace2 Yap! We shall, Cody! I'll bring the mistletoe! Another four weeks until half-term, my bestie (if the old bird can make it that long. She's flagging already!)
@KayRace2 She's back, Aunty Kay. Back with the human pups already. BIG NEWS THOUGH!!! We're coming up to Craster for a week over Christmas. We have a little cottage booked (with my buddy Lincoln the lab)! Maybe we could meet up then!
@KayRace2 Cody! I'm good - currently watching mum make mince, dumplings and cheesy mash (yum). My buddy Lincoln is staying over this weekend. We went out for pizza yesterday at a dog-friendly place by the sea. Happy 5 month animalversary, my bestie! I hope we can meet in the fur one day.
