Glen --- Dad's working boy who herded the cattle as well as he did
the sheep
A young Elizabeth in the Brook garden with Bonzo who was by then a
retired working dog
The first dog that was all my own, purchased with my 11th birthday money
in 1956 --- just enough to cover stud fee!
NB tail was NEVER docked
Raffy was so named as it was RAF day when we collected him --- amusingly
the GIRL comic used the name a few months later

Trudy, a special guest on a special day
Trudy had done some hospital / care home visits in Carshalton before we
moved north in Dec. 1983
'PAT dog' had not then reached Bradford, so being well insured by Pet
Plan we continued at a friend's Care/Nursing home. Here Trudy was a
special guest on a very special day.
