Love begins at home...

Amazing how dogs bring people together, broaden social networks, helping their owners make new friends in truly blessed ways: look at this beautiful picture Basil's mummy made to celebrate Luna's homecoming. Angels at work :)

All three are now dozing around the house (Luna at my feet under the kitchen table) after the morning walk and a good brekkie, and at last I have peace of mind to share some pictures of our holiday. We arrived in Nasu Sunday morning and spent some time lazing in the dog run at Pension Olive acclimatizing, only it was really hot there after 10am as well.

Fortunately they have a fantastic pool to splosh and cool down, Luna and Claire swim like pros...

 Nobunaga  needed rescuing when it got deeper...

And so began the wonderful holiday at Pension Olive, with delicious food, a giant dog run, a spacious pool and great spa-style bath, and the family all piling up to cuddle (I spread two double bed sheets over the bedspread to keep it clean) for a nap.
