The puppies have started leaving us to embark upon their exciting new lives with their lovely new owners.

First to go this morning was P!nk who has joined one of Vesta’s sisters (Pink/Tonks/Onyx 2016) in Cirencester.  Clearly the pink collar is a winner!  P!nk will henceforth be known as Topaz.

Prince has started his new life near Newbury and is now called Murphy.  His family is however not new to us – they spent 10 years with Max (Blue/Berry/2009) who relocated with them from Newbury to Toronto and then on to Warsaw.  What a well travelled flatcoat!

Last to leave us this afternoon was Ringo, now called Jofra, who heads off to Harpenden for a life steeped in cricket.  Just as well he will be excellent at retrieving balls!

We always give the puppies a last play with their mother before they leave us.  Photos to follow …
