Meet Maya and Kali

Last summer our English Pointer, Molly, had three puppies at Les Trois Chenes, our Bed and Breakfast in Limousin, deep in the heart of rural France. Sadly, they had to find homes of their own, but as you can see our pups have certainly landed on their feet! Now they're called Maya and Kali, much more fitting than Cocoline and Naughty Susan, although I doubt if she's any less naughty for all that.

Our 'girls' went to live with Laura, in the countryside surrounding Paris. From one 'Good Life' to another. They certainly don't look as if they are going to the dogs.


Whatever happened to Spot?

Our male puppy, 'Spot' went off with his Dad's owner, our chimney sweep where apparently he wowed them in the hunting fields of LImousin. Sadly, though, we haven't seen him since and have had to find another sweep.

I wonder what happened to him.

Is she still naughty?

Naughty Susan was the first one to crawl out of the nest, to escape from the back of the car, to chase the geese and, generally to get up to all manner of mischief - hence the name. It was Susan who wriggled through the gate and got stuck, and it was Susan who swallowed a peach stone and needed emergency treatment from the vet. See The Puppy and the Peach.

Is she still naughty, Laura?

Their story through videos

I have to keep up with the life of our pups through Laura's Blog and YouTube and they look in fine fettle. There are so many funny clips from the life of the pups on YouTube and I've selected just a few, not necessarily the best - they are all so good. I hope you enjoy these videos and take a look at some of the others.

Hi Barbara, looks great! Just posted about A Day in the Slow Life, which happens to have a lot on the dogs :)

We definitely need to come visit, see the finished gite, etc. It might not be till after Christmas, however, but I'll keep in touch!
