What an exciting life Tess leads.
Only just back from her holidays in Norfolk and her brother, Wilby, comes to visit. Wilbys owners, who have become our good friends, were on their way to Norfolk house hunting and dropped him off en route.
We will never know if dogs sense they are siblings but our two instantly recognise each other and do not pause for breath all day. They went completely mad this time when they met and play never stopped. Wilby, being the male and bigger of the two is definitely the dominant animal but Tess holds her own. Like children they both want the same toy at the same time, want each others food and equal amounts of petting so looking after them on my own was exhausting (but fun!). As Welsh Springer Spaniels they both have the same characteristics which is interesting to watch. By the time the adults sat down to eat in the evening they were contented but exhausted pups.
In the main they were boisterous but well behaved, although Tess’s puppy toy lost an ear and snowman lost his squeak. A small price to pay to keep them entertained.
On Sunday we had a long walk then took them to our local pub for lunch. This is the first time Tess has sat inside a pub while we ate and she coped admirably. This probably had a little to do with both dogs being pooped!
Come Monday Tess was hunting for her brother so she must have had a great time but I certainly think one dog, especially a Welsh Springer Spaniel, is quite enough!
A fun but challenging weekend!!!!!
