An anniversary and some observations on enrichment

I have held back from posting anything for a while because, if your online feeds are anything like mine, they are absolutely crammed with advice for surviving the current situation with your dog, and I have felt like I would be likely to do no more than parrot what someone else has said better than I would.

Today is a special day in the Blue Merle Minion household though, and so today I have to post. 3 years ago, a small bundle of blue merle patterned fluff made the journey from Wales right across to the south east corner of England. He snoozed the entire way across on my lap, waking up from time to time to watch the big trucks on the motorway that he seemed to like. He walked into the house as if he had been here his whole life, and spent the rest of that day and evening either sleeping against my hip on the sofa or sleeping on my feet. The quiet didn't last and the true chaos that we had introduced into our family soon made itself known!
