Hello bloggy friends - I am back once more. Leigh's broken wrist took a long time healing and many things have happened here since my last post. One piece of exciting news - my affenpinscher sister Saoirse gave birth to two beautiful puppies at the end of June. They are called Danny and Moth - and Moth has decided that she would like to take up blogging herself now. So this will be my very last post ( number 333) and little Moth will take over keeping everyone up to date with her adventures...and I am sure us other doggies will get a mention too now and again BOL. Her blog can be visited here : </div>
