Little Wandering Wren …. chats!

Doggie Heaven Seeing double....  Here is Mutt our scruffy poodle, with one of his best Cavoodle friends who is on holiday with us... Here they are down by the Yarra River, trotting through the woods, sniffing out anything interesting.... It was a beautiful September day in Melbourne, all the Spring Flowers are out....
