Max and Min


Looking at this picture today, which was taken shortly after Minnie came to our house in France, reminded me of how gentle and patient Max was with her when she was little (there's about two years in age between them).
Despite her own bed being right next to his (you can just see it to the right) she used to climb into his bed and he then found it difficult to settle down. Quite often he climbed out and slept on the floor, leaving her to it.
Not much has changed really. She still gets her own way. She still adores him and he pretty much lets her do what she wants.
Now what else does this remind me off?

  2. Yes he is. One of the reasons we got that breed was that they 'look the business' but are in fact good natured. They are also known as 'the gentlemen of the countryside). Unfortunately the French use them mostly for guarding so they have a bit of a reputation. We couldn't be more pleased.

  3. Is this a case of the dogs resembling their masters? If so, big brownie points there for you Mr Hampshire!
    (and, good on you, Jan!) ;o)
