Bird watching and Beagles

 While we enjoy this wonderful spell of sunshine (well most of us are, I have heard talk from militia wanting rain) and take advantage of being able to sit out side on the helipad, thus using it properly for the first time since we built it, some of our dogs have been engaged in strange behaviour. Case in point, Bear, pictured above, who, despite only having one fully functional back leg, felt he need to stand with his front paws in the herb garden and watch the birds in the aviary.

 And then there is Preston our incredibly old beagle who for some insane reason ignored the shade and the cool stone of the helipad and

spent a fair proportion of his afternoon playing statues in the sunshine.
