Just a quick update on Tansy's progress. Very lively but great fun. Had her first day at school which, after some initial reticence, quickly gained confidence and became quite disruptive! Now enroled for six week course. Having had such a lucky time when we had all the puppies the weather is certainly having its revenge - sloshing around everywhere you go. Tansy hates it and very reluctant to step out for a pee! As the smallest of the litter I would love to know if she is catching up with her siblings. I wonder too whether the others a re quite as vociferous as she is!! Still its early days and we enjoy the exuberance and playfulness of this puppy stage. I have received an email today from the USA to say that Cosmos is in great form too and they cannot wait to see how he will react to the coming of the snow which can be as much as 14".
