Sam and Rusty

I wanted to put some of these photos up with my post about the animals the other day, but haven't been able to get to a decent internet connection, due to there being Easter and the Library being closed. So anyway, here is Rusty, making himself very comfortable in my bed last night. I love it how he has managed to get himself half under the covers.

 Here is Sam, inspecting the camera. He gets quite excited when you try to take photos of him.

 And here are Rusty and Sam posing together. They were waiting for their dinner so I had a captive audience.

Next week I will be leaving Westport to move up to Nelson to my mother's house. She has been at her work on the Milford Track and rented her house out for 6 months. The tenants will be gone by next week so we can move back in. That will mean I am 5 minutes drive from the hospital instead of over an hour where we are  now and we will have internet access at our house, finally. Sam will be coming with us to Nelson, as he is actually my mother's dog technically and we will be around home much more than my sister and her partner. We will also be getting another dog to dog sit for a while. Her name is Roxy, the chocolate lab and belongs to my aunt and uncle who need somewhere for her to stay whilst they are in Nelson for a few weeks working. They usually live in Christchurch and have been affected terribly by the earthquake there too. So I am happy to look after their "baby" for them, - it's kind of like we are playing musical dogs at the moment! DH's parents are looking after Sebastian and my mum and I will be looking after Roxy and Sam. Roxy is only 2 years old or so and Sam is getting to be an old man, so it will be interesting to see how they interact together.
