Bye Bye Astra

We said goodbye to the Astra last week. On Thursday the scrap people came and took it away. Cars have to be officially scrapped, so there is a free service where the scrapyard comes and takes the car away and does all the paperwork. Hopefully the Mercedes will give us as good service (well, without the breakdowns).

Here is Pirata and Roland snuggled. The split their time between snuggling and having  a rough-and-tumble. Both being blind, their fights are sometimes a little random.

 Here is Herbie modeling his new sweater. I don’t think he is particularly fragile, however we have noticed that the cough he came to us with has not improved, so I want to ensure that he keeps warm in the winter. Now he has become Super-Herbie, and almost running around, he was particularly difficult to photograph.

See what I mean!

He happily mooches around, ricocheting off any other dogs he bumps into.

Herbie’s little sweater needs to take into account his slightly unusual leg angle. However it seems comfy enough and he is quite happy wearing it.

We have made Herbie a little nest under a table so he is safely out of the way. He happily snuggles up here, and instantly assumed it as his palace.
