It may be 'vanity', it maybe 'misplaced pride' but that ounce of Silver, Our Clan Shield & Crest, means the World to Me.....I've never designed, & had made, any other piece of jewelry in My life!

It May be a mere 'detail' but that ounce of Silver means a lot to Me!

Bobs will get there, I'm sure 'time' is a great healer? Once He fully trust Us then He'll no longer need to be 'scared' of stuff, just look to our response & take it from there?

It's our job to keep Bobby safe from the world, & the world safe from Him!!!
November 20, 2024 at 10:18 AM
Bob is very jumpy but is strong enough to go back & check out what frightened Him? but at 32kg He's a little big to be such a wuz!!!

He's such a softee as well.....and I'm told quite handsome!

Well, We had our 1/2 hour of madness in 2cm of virgin snow.....

Bobs was well happy at it all!!!....

He's most possessive of his frisbee once He's got it/dug it outa the Snow!!!

Cold as it is He still came Home panting!!! (though He munched plenty of snowballs!)
November 19, 2024 at 12:33 AM
Winds getting up a bit & It's 'swirling the Snow' into cool patterns (to My eyes?)

My pooch is not used to Snow....He's so funny with it....gotta get Him out in it!
