John Milton, Paradise Lost
Fresh from the Adelaide Hills arrives Meg MKII otherwise known as Kelly, our second Gordon Setter. Meg was bought by Kym in 1991 for me to pass the inevitable "Test" which is a new bride's way of saying "are you good enough to sire my children". I passed the test (even though Meg was carried upside-down to the loo a few times) and now Jackson and Mitchell have much to thank Meg for her forbearance.
Kelly doesn't sleep a lot (as is a puppy's prerogative), and we do not understand why ageing Lotharios have babies well beyond their capacity to deal with the consequences. At the moment we have slipped back into the wonderful tag team that produced Jackson and Mitchell, but we can't say we'd like it to extend for more than a few months. For those gentlemen of a certain age with new children - we salute your confounding mix of optimism and stupidity!
To honour Meg and celebrate Kelly, here are a couple of pics.
