All I Want For Christmas!

This is Noggin everyone! He's a beautiful tri-colour Border Collie and at the grand old age of 12 weeks he was making only his second ever outing on to a very snowy and cold Castle Walk this morning. Needless to say, I was captivated, but Archie paid him absolutely no attention and just wanted to keep playing in, eating, catching, and chasing the snow! There were quite a few out this morning which meant that we stayed out far longer than we intended and got very cold feet. It was interesting to see how Noggin and the others reacted to each other and this sort of behaviour always fascinates me. Noggin was understandably nervous, Lloyd's brain was a good fifteen minutes behind the rest of him (as usual - but he's still one of my favourites!) and he just bowled straight in there, and Lydia had a face on 'cos she was cold. Elsa, being Elsa, waded in after Lloyd, but it was all good clean fun in the end and great to welcome a new face.
