All settled into the new surroundings really quickly, though the first 5 days it rained quite heavily the majority of the time.  Luckily we had our waterproofs with us, plus plenty of towels to dry off the mutts, so our spirits were not dampened.  The sun came out in the second week, though not enough to have a bbq.

Still to upload the photos but will put a link on soon.

Joe was very laid back, watching everything, looking as though he had no speed at all, but actually was going quite fast.  He is still wary of tight crosses so the dog following him has to hang back a bit, but he is getting there.

Jess - well where's the superglue.  She still drops the ball on the line coming back, more especially if a dog is coming towards her.  If it's Joe, well he tries to pick it up, plus his own - hilarious to watch but not very good for the team!

However, she is now out of intensive care and starting to make a recovery.

Brock has settled in really well, he and Joe play fight and tug all the time.  We are hoping to take Brock to some flyball training as he is definitely ball orientated.

Meg and Zak continue to be office dogs.  The rest are slumped all over the downstairs of the house when we are upstairs working.
