Spud and Joe walking home*
It was parents evening at Joes school recently, it went very well, which is great news because school hasn’t always been a happy place for Joe. Mr Uhdd was fair glowing with pride when he got home; for not only had Joe received a good report, the head stopped Mr Uhdd in the corridor to comment on what a well behave puppy Spud was (the head having seen Mr Uhdd and Spud out on their early morning walk to the paper shop as he drove into school.)
So a pat on the back for Joe and a pat on the head for Spud. Everyone’s a winner.
I’m sure this dog is double jointed.
*Yes it’s November and still Joe is wearing his beach shorts, he has upgraded from his Crocks, to wellingtons, what with the muddy tracks and paths.

Well done to all the UHDD family, which of course includes Spud! Terrific photos, especially the first one. xx

Well done all!
And as for the shorts, we have a family like that in our village. Dad and two little boys (aged 5 and 3) all wear shorts right through the winter and never show signs of being cold. Makes me cringe when I see the little one being pushed along in his buggy in the middle of December with his little nobbly knees on show!

They are very fine ears, a gust of wind can morph him from Dumbo to Gollum.
I like how when he shakes himself, they flap around like a football rattle. They do get in the way though when he is eating his kibble, pegging them back with a clothes peg would keep them tidy

Your Spud is developing the classic springer hairdo. I think I used to have a ‘shaggy perm’ just like that in the 80s.

We used to cut the toes out of a nylon stocking and put it over our springer Tilly’s ears when she had her Sunday dinner, hers ears remained clean, she knew whenever this contraption went on she was getting a yummy meal and she looked like she was at the hairdressers to boot !!!
