Never a dull moment over there;)

Poor Bootz looks less than enchanted with your visitor!!!
Sounds like you have your own circus act going on this weekend!
FUN FUN FUN!!!
Heidi looks a lot like the dog we had when I was growing up. Her name was Monko! She liked frogs too!;) :D
Can't wait to hear more reports from the weekend. I'm sure Heidi managed to keep ebberbuddie a bit more active... well at least Dad.
Maybe this hunting frogs isn't such a bad thing. I've heard that frog legs are supposed to be a delicacy.
Yes Phred, when you have rested after the weekend, we'd all love to hear more of what happened - and possibly see the pics. ;)
You must remember to warn us in good time, when you next have an exiting visitor who entice you to an outdoor pyjama party - we'll be there to get it on video!! :eek: :D
Hope you didn't catch a cold! :)
