Visit to Hartlepool

Yesterday we all travelled north to Hartlepool to visit Pat's house. This was where Kaska was born and his younger sister Teasel still lives there with Tulle and Harris (all mini schnauzers). They didn't know what to make of Aoife leaping about like a black furry jumping bean. Alfie Crybbe was very happy to go though because when he first visited he fell in love with Teasel and he loves to go and see her. She's not bothered with him at all though - poor Alfie:

Here she is pretending not to know he's there.
Here are some other pictures of the Hartlepool schnauzers:

Another picture of Teasel. Can you see she looks a bit like our Kaska. Here's Kaska at the back door - he couldn't get up the step with his weak legs:

 This is Tulle - she's looking a bit grumpy. I don't think she was too happy when we all turned up to play in their back garden:

And this is Harris who is a handsome boy and was very interested in meeting me - I had to climb on Leigh's lap when he got too friendly!

And this is me trying to stop everyone from coming in the patio door:

We had a fun day in Hartlepool and were very tired when we got back but we enjoyed meeting our schnauzer friends there - and playing with their toys!
