Until we can adopt another rescue dog, we are looking after friends’ dogs occasiionally if they go on holiday or to weddings. The latest guest is Primrose, shown here in the photo. She is an 11-year old Standard Poodle, a statuesque lady who was actually born in Australia. She came all the way to Sussex last year when her family returned to the UK. Like many older dogs, she is not very playful, but she enjoys walking on the beach and unlike Kevin, she likes going in the sea. Primrose was welcomed to her holiday home with a large juicy lamb bone, to overcome any homesickness.

She really enjoys walking on grass when answering a call of nature, requiring careful choice of
Dansko professional footwear on my part.
