Mission Accomplished....

Hello my friends....as you know, we have been having the most exciting Christmas with Miss Islay and the Colonel in residence at Border Terrier HQ....but all good things must come to an end......

....we have had our last walk at Headley Heath with William....terriers in strict single file....

....despite his best laid plans and superior cunning, Colonel Rocky never did quite conquer the stairs and gain access to the hallowed sunlit uplands that are "upstairs".....

.....but every sniff has been sniffed....

....and no trail has been unwalked......

....the Colonel has made sure that at least one terrier has been on guard at all times in case of intruders...we are expecting to receive a visit from the noise police thanks from the neighbours at any minute....

....of course, its not easy being a soldier and there were times when even the Colonel and Miss Islay were asleep most of the afternoon pinned down in their foxhole by naps enemy squirrels

...Miss Lola has been moaning about the lack of chews due to the Colone's strict dietary requirements kept terrifically busy......

....and has registered her displeasure at the end of operations.....accidentally put the bitey on the typist...during a play fight with Miss Islay ...

...."iz colder owt ere dan i fort....makes way...i iz comin back to i bed" ...says Miss Islay....

....Miss Lola wonders how she will keep all this territory under control on her own....

....the Colonel conducted one last master class in camouflage.....

....and has filed his last report about the UFO which landed here on Saturday.....

'Wot time be checkout?"
...we are very sad that our wonderful friends have had to go home...but we hope to see them both back with us again soon.

Woof....Clapton, Innkeeper....

  3. What a wonderful houseful you had. I bet it was great to have so many little terrorists for Xmas. It will be a quiet house again after they leave. Love your photos.

  7. Happy New Year from me too! What a busy time you have had. I think you need a son-of-the-Colonel there to help Miss Lola guard the territory... ;-)
