Hedgehogs... that brings back memories!
When I was a young lad, my parents had this monstrously big Rottweiler. The village' softest dog. There was a meadow across the street with some low shrubs at the edge of the land. A 100m long stretch of perfect hedgehog territory. Every now and then our dog took home a hedgehog after the evening walk before going to sleep! We were (and I still am) puzzled how he did this: taking the spiky ball in his mouth and softly, gently dropping it on the tiles in the kitchen...
We had some funny moments chasing a hedgehog in the kitchen, with a dog going wild because WE were playing with his new best friend and HE wasn't invited!
After catching the hedgehog, we always put it back under the shrubs. In that pre-internet era, I didn't know that it's best to put a hedgehog back exactly where you found it and not somewhere else. Hedgehogs can get lost!

Found this photo today while looking for something else.
Our previous dog Barley, who loved people and always joined in!
He really is a sweetie. He loves all humans, and is well socialised to get along with most dogs, the exception being whole male dogs who challenge his top dog status. At 3 yo now he even tends to come back when you call him... unless there is something that resemble a quarry, which he invariably fails to catch anyway but loves to chase

Do you have more pics of Mimi? This 'box-pic' doesn't do her justice, I think!

George is a bu&&er for water.Any excuse and he's in. Staring at the water, I knew he was up to something. I thought he was going to do his usual trick of "accidentally" falling in but saw the fish rise on the right and jumps from a standing start.
