Big, beautiful black critters

In my post about the beautiful hike we had on a private nature reserve this week, I posted one photo of the hosts' young Great Danes. They accompanied the group on the walk. When we arrived back at Paul and Ricky's house, they both made themselves most comfortable among the hikers.

 Sheba watches as Hector (later) ambles up to the other sofa and hops up 

 Hector wriggles his bottom a little...

 ...slides down...

...and soon, both dogs are occupying a sofa each

I simply adored both these dogs. Hector is under a year and Sheba is 18 months old. Although they seem to "take over", they were both well-behaved and obeyed immediately their master gave a command. 

I hope you enjoyed my different "critters" today. I'm linking to Saturday Critters with Eileen, here 

As this post is aired this morning, I'll be taking part in my first Parkrun after a three-week layoff. I don't think I'll even reach my previous personal best which I achieved with friend, Anthony, but at least I'm back on the track again! 

HAPPY SATURDAY TO YOU ALL!
