Walking with Welly

We went for a “McCormack Sunday walk” on the local fire trail just at the top of our road (it’s on the edge of the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park and it’s where the fireman gain access for bush fires  … dogs allowed!).  Miranda couldn’t stop herself smiling at all the dancing light through the trees and Wellington tried to convince us the ball kept going in the puddles (yeah right Welly!).  After an hour of chatting (and throwing the ball for a soggy dog) we all arrived home and sat on our porch to catch our breath back !!!

Wellington

We’ve been thinking about getting a dog for some time, but it never quite seems to be right. But, then again when would be? On our way back from a fantastic morning dive at Shelley Beach, Manly we passed a pet shop that was advertising puppies for sale. We stopped to have a look on the understanding that we definitely would not get one. Imagine our surprise when we actually did leave with an adorable new puppy! Wellington is an 8-week old black Mini Labradoodle – a cross between a Labrador and a Poodle. He’s actually second generation Labradoodle as his parents were first generation crosses. Photos of him are available here.
