Meeting Max

We visited Oma last week and had a swim in the pool...then after awhile we heard somebody coming and soon we were to know our peace would be over.

Our new friend Max arrived to visit too. He was HUGE!!! Only eleven months old and still full of puppy playfulness.

Max loves to swim in the pool as well. He jumped right in and went for a swim.

Marley didn't quite know what to make of this BIG GIANT who suddenly appeared. With tail between his legs he ran to spend the rest of the day on Mummy's lap.

WATCH OUT JASPER!!!

Here he comes. Just look at the sheer terror in little Jaspers eyes. Max pounced on top of him like a little kitten....but with his weight he scared poor Jasper almost to death and almost knocked Jasper and Mummy into the pool with his playfulness. Max, we know you only wanted to play, but I don't think Marley and Jasper were quite ready for meeting such a BIG new friend.

PS. Max....next time bring your own ball. I don't think Jasper was very impressed with you taking his ball and biting it in half LOL!

Hello Spring

Hello you Great Big 9ft Hibiscus Bush

You Giant Purple Hollywood Pansy you!

Hello little lone yellow Jennifer Pansy...you're a bit slower in coming out to meet us, but one 'Little Sir' will be so delighted you've finally graced us with your presence. He was starting to envy his sisters pansy plantings.

Hello Mummy's parsley in two different varities. You're a bit much for us already....Mummy will have to bundle you up and give you away to the neighbours.
