Thanks for all the kind messages (some I have yet to reply) and updates for Poundlane pups as I took a break from the relentlessness of the internet and recharged the batteries. After having Covid go through our home, we are now back on track again. I have a lot of catching up to do with a burgeoning inbox of updates and I will get them up as time permits. Thanks everyone!
 I missed Polly's litter siblings reunion at Winkleigh on Saturday, as I thought it a bit risky to go to having only just gone negative for Covid, but I hope we can all get together in the not so distant future. Hope you had a lovely time catching up with each other in person.
Yesterday, with the gorgeous weather I felt it was about time we got Polly to the beach. Her first time, but you would not think it. She loves fetch and one of my children took some photos (above) of our trip and filmed Polly (below) making a couple retrieves. The one with me throwing the ball, she gets distracted by a bit if stick poking out of the sand as she brings the ball back, but when I repeat the command, "Bring it back!". She regains her focus. The one with one of my children throwing the ball into the water. Tilly is a bit lacklustre in her instruction to Polly and I tell her to ask her to "Bring it back!" So Polly brings it to me. 
​Polly is such a lovely combination of her parents Puddin' and Teagol.

Looks like a lovely day out. Otto loves the beach too! Glad you're feeling better. You were much missed at the gathering of Polly's siblings , but I'm sure we can all get together again later this year! X
