Social whirl and other things

We have been quite sociable recently, partially due to the run up to Christmas I suppose. We went skiing with some friends and to yoga, some others came round to get some holly as we seem to have some of the only holly still with berries locally

We took the 'Don Anniversaire' beer round to Don - who's birthday we brewed it for. We hope it will have time to settle and clear in the next week before it is needed.

We have spent time - as always - walking and training Poppy. Mostly she is pretty good and only shows us up occasionally (attacking a goat skin rug at someones house and setting off to kill their Christmas turkey a little early). She is getting pretty big now.

We asked the vet about a few things when we were getting her worm medecine. We were a bit worried she is thinner than she should be, but the vet says she is fine and will fill out a bit when she stops growing in height in a couple of months time. She also says she should have her first heat any time now - which we are looking forward to (not). We will have her sterilised, apparently this should be a couple of months after her first heat.

The weather has been very warm after the cold snap that brought all the snow. The snow is disappearing at a concerning rate, but we have still had fun skiing and Poppy still loves the snow and loves running around the ski area making friends.
