Welcome Skipper

 Meet Skipper .....
He is beautifully bred: he is.....
 - Gunner's Grandson
 - Gunner's daughter Nell is his mother
 - Nell is Bugler'ssister
 - So Bugler is his Uncle
 - and Jaunty is his dad
 ...................................

 Needless to say we greeted him with mixed emotions.
But I believe he knows that.
He is more his grandad than he realises....
Already he chews the furniture his grandad chewed.....
and chews rug corners like his grandad did.
But: weight of expectations or no - he is definitely his own person......

That said, having had a role in his selection, I think Gunner approves.
This was the sunset on Monday night after we brought Skipper home.
Fanciful or not..... the spirits speak on......
Let's all watch how he grows ......
