Jayne enjoys the view from the top of Mt. Snowdon in Wales!Part 1 - Mount Snowdon is in Snowdonia National Park in North Wales it is the highest Mountain in Wales at 1085 Metres high... it changes from rolling pasture to steep slate paths to the last piece that is literally a scramble up to the top .. there is an easy way up there is a train that runs some times of the year and there is a cafe up on the top.

Jayne's hiking coach, Darren, and his best bud ...Part 2 at the top!BUT we had to pick a bad weather day wouldnt ya just know it all was closed when we got there but the sense of achievement was great !!! Cant wait to do Ben Nevis 1344 metres high in July .. the Highest Mountain in Scotland and the whole of the UK.

Wales is the Thornapple MOST FAVORITE place in the UK!

Beautiful scenery on the way up!

Bandit, being a Velcro boy, follows me everywhere. He normally waits in the bathroom while I take a shower. Well, this morning he opened the shower door with his nose and was playing in the water. The next thing I knew he climbed in the shower with me. :-) The silly boy.Bandit, being a Velcro boy, follows me everywhere. He normally waits in the bathroom while I take a shower.

I know I keep saying he is a terrific dog - but he is, I can't begin to express how much we love him. Jonathan spoils the boys rotten. We are so lucky that he and Barclay are such good, loving, and handsome boys. I hope you have a nice weekend. Kim

We went to a close friends graduation ceremony last evening. We kenneled the boys before we left. They always get treats, fresh bones and soft stuffed toys in their crates. We arrived home with Bandit in the living room! He can now open his crate. What a good boy! He didn't damage anything or potty in the house. We were so proud of him. Barclay was sound asleep in his crate when we came in. Bandit barked deeply until he knew it was us. He has a really nice bark. I think it would ward off any intruder. It makes him seem like a very large dog. Kirk took Barclay
