Friends, Mum's still got hold of Dad's camera! At least, Dad says it's his, Mum says it's OURS!
She used it to take this action shot of me and Dad having a tug of war with OCTOPUS. I don't know if you've met Octopus before,
but he has eight different legs to tug at and is great fun! Some of the legs make exciting squeaking noises when you bite them!
Would you like to take a turn playing tug of war with Octopus, friends??

Dad: Pooch is 12 next birthday, and although he still loves play-time he gets tired more easily than he used to.
One benefit of that is that the soft toys are lasting longer!
In case you're wondering, the pad of old carpet on the floor is to cushion him a bit... he will insist on leaping down off the sofa
onto the hard wood floor and we're anxious in case it gets too much for his bones and joints. Trying to train him out of the leaping, but in the meantime...
