Just the Ruby boy

Oldest three children back at school today, but youngest three don't go back until tomorrow. Just got this sweet photo of Tilly nursing the Ruby boy. Treacle as all our mothers are, has been perfectly happy for us to touch and handle the pups from the start. The pups seem very chilled to be handled from this age, so are already registering human touch, and also human smell in their olfactory library as part of their friendly every day environment. The bonding process starts.
