Flyboys in action

It's just the Flyboys left now- Girlie is gone to her new home, where she'll be known now as "Princess Flick", and spoilt rotten accordingly. Her new owners will have plenty of real work for her when she's old enough (and have already started sheepdog lessons with some top trainers), but she'll also be living some city life, and maybe doing some agility or obedience.

So the posse of Flyboys are running wild and free- or would be, if Esme hadn't turned up to keep them in line. She's the leader of the pack, Chief Bitch, and rules the Flyboys with an iron fist- but we do see her softer side when she's flirting with Finbar, her absolute best little mate. Ah, young love...

There are more pics of each pup on their own post (click on their names), but here are some of the crew in action.

Finbar is my golden boy. He's definitely a keeper, despite his colouring. He's full-on, always out in the lead, takes new places and scary things in his stride, and loves people. If he's not with Esme, he'll be trotting by my side.

Elvis is Mr Independent, a little action man. He's hard to photograph because he's never still, and is usually the one chasing mice into some dead-end burrow under the verandah.

Harry is the comedian. He actually smiles! He's usually scuffling with someone, or trashing something.

JJ is the gentle giant. He loves cuddles, people, and posing for the camera. He seems to have a slightly longer/thicker coat than the others, and a bigger bum, but he can certainly move when he wants to.

Finn and Esme: a love story-
