Having seen your birthday wishes on your website (Crumble says thank you) - I thought I would drop you a quick note along with some more up to date pictures - apologies, he is not as well groomed as he was on the ones I sent you on his last birthday - but you'll be pleased to hear, he is due a haircut very soon!

Well, Crumble continues to be an absolute pleasure and seems to improve with age (although, we didn't think this was possible, as he was already pretty much perfect!) - he is still such a fun, happy dog and above all else loving, and enjoys nothing more at the end of the day than cuddling up with

Barry or I on the sofa - although, it has to be said, his heart really belongs to Chelsey, who, as soon as she appears in the room to settle for the night, he will wander up, fluff her up (like a good cushion), and her response is to lay flat out on her side, where he will then tuck himself into her tummy (you will see from one of the pictures I have attached - excuse the Next parcel, I didn't like to move it incase I disturbed them!) - it really is lovely to see - even after all this time together, there is never a cross word between them - infact, totally the opposite, just as an example, one thing she does every morning is to wash his little face (sometimes he does get quite wet!) - she really does mother him!

 The other pictures attached show him in the garden enjoying some of the little sunshine we have had, a couple of pictures of he and Chelsey enjoying our holiday in May (went back to Port Issac)

and then a couple I took on Saturday showing him in his new favourite place (on the back of the chair in the conservatory)

 and then one just showing a typical Crumble pose!
