Thanks a lot guys, I have actually had to work today ( there is your proof for those that think I just hike all the time ! LOL !!!) Anyways thanks for all the kind words and a special thanks to Kirk who's generosity cannot be put into words !!!!

My wife purchased a knife from Kirk for my birthday and then to my amazement I found he had included another very special gift !!!!

Maisy always likes to help with the un-wrapping......

Nearly there.......

Here is my new baby in my favourite colour......

I couldn't believe it however when I found Kirk had included this......



You can be sure that when I eventually do manage to get out again that there will be plenty of pics of these two new puppies( sorry RATS ) in action !!!
