Time flies when having fun.

It's been 10 days since Sadie moved in and Bing and her are loving life. Every morning we are down on the beach making the most of the good and not so good weather. Sadie seems to have a calming effect on Bing and on 2 occasions we have left them home alone for a couple of hours, returning home to a quiet kitchen - with no damage or signs of any nibbling.

Bing continues to develop and grow into a very lovely natured dog - so proud of the little chap!

 

 

 

Taken after lunch!

 



Timing,chance or destiny.

We knew we would have to start the long process of a new sister for Bing as he's never been on his own.....we expected it to take a while to find just the right one......so I rang Val Seymour of East Pastures Boarding Kennels....who happens... to breed German Shepherds.......and guess what!

 

Sadie, 3 years old - adores Bing and Bing adores her!  She is wonderful and the house is back to normal! (Hmmmm well normal by the Nesbitt standards!) Bing has been fantastic - he is such a lovely boy and it is all down to our lovely devoted Elsie and Freida, RIP you lovely girls.

 

 

Small world......very very small world!

Today (Sunday) we went for our afternoon doggie walk on the beach. This is Bing's second walk of the day and we chose Redcar again - it ties in with our visit to B&Q.

Today Jon needed a new axe!

We usually park up by the Stray Café - but due to the sunshine and drop of windy conditions there was nowhere to park - so we drove on for a couple of minutes and parked at the next carpark.

A white german shepherd trotted over to Bing. I heard his owner shout "Ghost, come here!"
I remembered from our contacts on facebook that one of Bing's brothers was named Ghost. I asked the owner a few questions.......low and behold Bing and Ghost are brothers.

 

 

 

 

Roxie is Bing's sister (here on lead) trotting along with Elsie, Bing and Ghost!

Small world eh?

A very different beach outing.

For a change from Skinningrove we ventured a few miles along the coast to Redcar. Whilst it was a windy dry day, the beach was quite deserted and Elsie and Bing had an enjoyable run about. Freida was resting at home as she twisted a muscle last week when out with Bing and whilst she protests loudly at being left at home, we know she needs to rest for a while.

The blot on the landscape - well one of them, has to be the wind farm just off the coast, it can be seen in all its glory as you approach Redcar promenade, so fortunately whilst we knew it was in the background, we still had some lovely scenes to soak up.

The other eyesore has to be the vertical pier - again we deliberately parked where we would not see it. But for the record it looks like this....

It was built to replace this :-

This building has caused an outcry in the borough, especially when it was runner up in the country's ugliest building pole.
Here is the press account.

Modern times eh? I think not, however we enjoyed our afternoon before driving home.

V is for...Vacation.

Bing and Elsie spent a vacation together at Cliff Top Kennels, just outside Scarborough.

We watched as they were taken to their kennel.

 

 

 

 

They had a great time and Elsie showed Bing the ropes.  Ella also stayed in the cattery here whilst Freida spent the time with her favourite neighbour, Joyce. Whilst we were away we often wondered how Bing would be getting on with his first holiday away but we assured ourselves that Elsie would be talking to him in doggy speak telling him that we would be back and we would be back to normal.

Well we are back and things are back to normal - well as normal as things go in the Nesbitt household!
