NEW YEAR, NEW WALKS.

Morris: Had some amazing runs recently. Ewen has found a new walk at the back of the castle and Pam tooks a different side of the river in Melrose. Brand new smells and news to read. Mabel does have a very good nose and is more inclined to try to follow the scent. I try and keep an eye on Ewen. It also means I conserve my energy for a good run if she finds something.

Mabel : True, we have had some different action. And I've been taking care of my teeth, which Pam says is very important. Apparently, chewing on sticks to keep her teeth healthy was something our relative, Mirren, and to an extent, Magnus, did. It really is rather fun giving a stick a REALLY good chew. There are some beauts on one of the new walks. The deer or rabbits have stripped the bark off so there are no icky bits. Morris got involved too.
