I spring out of bed in the morning after breakfast we’ll walk to the park My puppy darts off without warning he thinks hiding’s a bit of a lark I hope that we’ll get home before dark! I spy him by the tall climbing frame Benji’s crafty at this hiding game he knows I carry his doggy treats I call him, he responds to his name with tail wagging, puppy treats he eats!

Oh, the games our puppies play - examples of joyful living! Even at 10, Paddy is all about fun and puppy games! At 4 in the afternoon he casually saunters into my office hoping for a walk - which he usually gets! Congratulations on your win, Jan. Sending you warmest wishes! Paddy sends Benji a woof and a bow wow!
