Now a common sight - Ben and Beauty eating their meals alongside each other, in this case, it's breakfast.
Although Ben always finishes first - well, he IS a Labrador, after all - he has not attempted to filch her food at mealtimes. Even when she runs off before finishing - usually because she's still very nervous.
.
Partly because he's quite elderly, Ben's dish sits on a little "table" - actually a small step / stool. The extra height helps his swallowing / digestion.

See the wave top just by Ben's ears ? The small stick he's chasing after splashed down just the far side of the peak.

No-one suggested to Ben that he hopped onto the footplate, although he had seen me having a close look. I think that dog had a sense of humour ! it looks as if he is joining in the laughter at his actions.

Being rather cheeky here, as I'm a bit short of time - I have revisited this image ...

Compliments of the Season to everyone.

Taken last winter (2012), Ben was not impressed with the wet snow - and came back in very quickly, but the tail was wagging all the time (just not as fast as usual!)

Whilst you are here, please have a paddle in my photostream ...

Previous caption :-
First attempt at captioning an image....I'll post the plain image shortly in exchange ...
~~~~ so please excuse the lateness of this ~~~~

However, I'll still wish you a very Happy New Year!

Hope your seasonal break is going well.

Having claimed it - Ben was determined to play with this log, he dragged it quite some way along the beach. It was soaking wet and therefore almost too heavy to float, never mind carry (assuming his gape would have been big enough).

Ben diving into the burn, chasing after his ball - which has just splashed down near the bank. I tried to get the rainbow effect when he shook himself afterwards, eventually succeeded and that image will be here soon !

BDD - catch

Ben jumping to catch the ball, something he does - a lot ! He was a good five feet in the air just before the shutter clicked. Usually, his jump is at an odd angle, distance or speed that makes capturing an image difficult, this was the best of many attempts to capture him doing the jump ...
