Reunited!!

 Fair to say it was quite early when yours truly got up as today was going to be a good day.

 Naturally I had observers while I toiled

 to turn this yard space into a convivial space for a clan gathering.

 Flags were raised

 tapestries hung

 and guest arrived with presents of fine Argentinian wine

 and dogs, lots of them. Pups from way back when and recent times gathered for a walk, food and celebration of the life and times of the Dolyhir Clan.

 Reuben was a fine host

 and the guests were many, here Elea a fab Great Swiss that we have known since puppyhood reacquainted herself to the Clan members.

 But the real stars (if you can single any of these amazing dogs out) were Harvey Puppy Dog and Fizz, both from the first litter between Rocky and Reba. Have to admit to getting quite emotional over seeing these two, the brother and sister of Spotty, Bliss, Mr Bear and WooZah who now race around over the rainbow bridge with their parents.

Their owners swapped stories

 and then we set off on a low level walk to the river and back to work up an appetite.

 The apprentice showed his gymnastic skills

 while the dogs showed their wading skills.

 The kids joined in

 and much

 fun was had by all

 until heading back

 to Rock HQ

 chatting

 while the dogs plodded on along the Clan trails

 with Fizz and Liz making sure

 everyone got back safely to the food!

 Of which there was quite a bit.

So many thanks to everyone, to Marshal and his lovely owners, to Lunar and her fab people, to so many friends who took the time to bring back their dogs to Rock HQ for another lively and lovely day. We are so lucky to have met you all and to have shared part of your lives. Thank you all.
