PUPPY TIME AGAIN!

Merlin is seven months old this week. He is now a big oaf, with slobbery jowls and a predeliction for chewing various parts of your anatomy. So I thought I'd try to do some pics of him that give you an idea of how big he is now. Bearing in mind he won't be fully grown till he is two!





The timer went off just after a big slobbery lick in the face...





Of course, it all started to go downhill. He launches a pre-emptive strike on my hand...



Control is regained....for a moment...



But it all goes wrong again. The infamous shoulder lock is deployed...




...before pinning me to the ground, and chewing me mercilessly...



My hound!

AND, in other news! Oh, America! Shame on you!!! How could you bring the reputation of football (oh, I'm sorry, SOC-CER) into such disrepute? I am genuinely shocked!!! Elizabeth Lambert, you bad girl!!!



Some jostling off the ball?!? I counted three straight reds, and four yellow card offences, just in the incidents shown! That means she should have been sent off five times!

(mind you, I've heard these New Mexico girls are a rough bunch )

Made me laugh though. Of course, in the noble sport's birthplace, we never have behaviour like that.
