France in Focus

I have been trying to get some action or at least outdoors pics of these two, but they keep moving too fast or are not in a good place for shooting. Orel, on the left, has just been shorn so he looks more poodle-like than 'normal'
Gershwin on the right has decided that retirement from being a guide dog is ok and has forgotten a lot of basics very quickly - his recall off leash is zero! I need 41kgs of dog to behave so I have some work to do. He's a tad on the porky side so I don't want to use too many tidbits in training, but if needs must I will and dinner rations will get even smaller than the diet he is on.
Your choice, Gershwin, and would you also please stop refusing to get into a car?

Lovely piccy Liz. Dogs always look so relaxed when they're asleep. Our two are both pretty deaf now so sleep much more soundly than they did though even a light touch will wake them.
I had to smile looking at the photo - we have exactly the same Vetbed and I recognise the Taunton Vale mats

Orel generally rucks up the vetbed, especially the older softer ones. Brilliant stuff, washes so easily.
The tablemats : we have plenty of more modern ones but these are in the everyday cupboard and get used all the time. Mum gave them to us donkeys years ago, and when we cleared her house I picked up hers too. Sentimental, but practical!

oh how lovely is that

The dogs don't find Strictly very interesting.....

Our Bob has his own snooze nose warmer.

Could the refusal to get into the car be caused by pain in the back legs?
