Billy has now been with us for a year - a magnificent dog who really enjoys running in the wide open spaces of the field behind where we live ... and equally enjoys laying on the heated tiles, or in one of the big chairs. Even better, he loves curling up next to us, or on our knees; we call this his "Chihuaha mode". Sharing here some pictures of Billy and Gypsy taken in the last couple of weeks - really this is Billy's day, but Gypsy's in fine fettle too .. with up to three runs in a day, the pair make a svelte pair chasing across the field.
