Life in the fast lane. Into our third week as a dog family. Training and socialization proceeding by leaps and bounds.
Bob and Sophie , in their own very different ways , proving to be delightful companions. Bob happy to start his day with a tickle under the chin, Sophie insistent on stretching out on her back for a full tummy rub. Lifes priorities . This morning when we set out there's a bee eater sitting on the courtyard gate. The first seen this year. Yellow, blue, red and russett. The bee eater chirrups with annoyance then flies off to the safety of a cherry tree.
To the lady with the polytunnels for our daily strawberries. We've decided to eat seasonally and locally as much a posible this year. It's healthier and we spend much less time in supermarket aisles . We get given an extra punnet of ' ugly ' strawberries for free. '' You can use them for a coulis " . Two teenage boys on unmuffled motorbikes rasp past at high speed . Bob moves to the safety of the back of the car only to find that Sophie is already there.
Home to flatten the flower beds and dig out some pots. Later this morning our first ' on lead ' visit to the inside of the cafe under the arcades.

Ahhh, both seem to be training you and 'the font' in their morning routines. Love the digging technique.
xXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
Those black flappy ears !
Bob and Sophie you are so lucky, Rupiec would love to join you to taste sample an 'ugly' strawberry.happy Sunday!
Look at Sophie go with the digging in the video! She's practically down to Australia. The strawberries looks wonderful.
Love the picture of explorer Sophie bursting through the undergrowth.
I hope the lead walk goes well. I see Bob's digging skills are catching up with Sophie's.
Have a great Sunday.

I think Sophie deserves her own sand pit, no sorry, I meant her own dirt pit.....she loves digging....probably feels good between her toes.
I just can't get my head wrapped around two unmuffled motorbikes in deepest France profonde....I imagined all quiet and laid back living. Where did those two teenagers come from?????
Loved the photo with Bob and Sophie's cute tongues hanging out.
Happy Sunday to you and the Font, and enjoy your strawberry dessert.
Perhaps "Plant Geraniums" has been taken
off this spring's To Do List?
what a totally clever idea! give them their own flower pots and dirt to dig in! like a puppy play pen!
can't wait til they go really public. you might create a scene in calm and occasionally noisy france profonde.
thank you SO much for the videos. just even hearing them gives me pleasure.
There are two flower beds I will be digging up as soon as the snow is gone, and only wish I had a little Sophie to lend her paws to it!
Jo in MN
Holy Smokes - little paws going like the clappers.
Could there be a market in hiring the two mini land miners out?
Perhaps they could be trained to detect the scent of truffles?
Trained ?
Oh, dear - how completely precious those faces are and how determined with joy they dig! I'm putting in a "dirt box" for my senior adoptable Weim/lab mix; like Sophie, I swear she tries to dig to the other side of the world.
It sounded as if all of that construction was probably excellent socialization for Bob and Sophie! How time flies for a puppy - they sound like they are delightful.
I hope the visit to the arcades went well! Those strawberries look delicious!
That first photo just tickles my funny bone. Sophie thrashing through the jungle, the photographer rewarded with a beautiful shot after waiting patiently for a sighting
