In-Betweeny

Family time has been first and foremost lately, as mentioned before reeling from Lynn leaving has brought us closer together and we have cherished every moment together doing as much as we can. So much so in fact we're heading off for a much deserved break to the South Island shortly.

Our doggy member of the Dawes family Denver is just adorable. His character is the sweetest, so gentle and genuinely caring. We have also noticed a physical change and people often comment on how good looking he is and ask what breed he is, it's actually difficult to give them a straight answer, normally answering with 'an SPCA lucky dip'.

And lucky we were too, we cannot imagine our lives without him now. Doing some research online we now think Denver could be Great Dane/Labrador/Staffy...just Googleing 'Black Great Dane' brings up many dogs that look just like him, the only thing he doesn't have is the height....so that mix is something else.

Denver likes nothing more than the river, running, splashing and swimming. Then coming over for a good old shake right next to you. We have had some lovely nights down by the river in the late evening sunshine.

Today was another lovely day here in Wellington, Bethany and I spent the day with Rachel and Myles, heading to the Zoo for a gorgeous walk. Later Sarah, Charlotte and Sophie joined us too and it was so nice to see all the children play together and for us mummies to have a nice chat too.

All together now 'we're all going on a summer holiday...'

Tomorrow we head off to Nelson for 5 nights. We are so lucky once again to have our house sitters come and stay here again as they did when we went away over New Year. It's nice to have someone to water your plants and clean your house for when you return!

Nelson here we come!
