Axel arrived yesterday for an overnight stay. He sometimes forgets his size and can be a bit intimidating for smaller dogs. Not this time though. With the arrival of Lolly, there were four small companions, three of whom dart around like things possessed. Axel took it all in his stride, playing gently when he felt like it, ignoring them when he didn’t. When bedtime came he settled quite happily on the bed alongside little Monty and Daisy. Surprisingly we all had a good nights sleep. Now all have breakfasted and are asleep in various parts of the living room. Philip took this photo of Axel yesterday evening.
