I hinted about this on my previous walk documented here on 27th March when I went to Walla Crag – when I was descending, I received a message from Gillian at Breaksea Bearded Collies that her bitch had given birth to a litter of 10 pups, 5 male and 5 female and would I be interested in one? Well, how could we resist that temptation? We were bereft after the sudden loss of Fletcher so we seized the chance to get another little Beardie pup in our lives. Presently he is, of course, still too young to walk far; this is only the beginning of his journey but it is fair to say he is loved by our family. You’ll soon be up on those fell Finlay Foo! Check out his progress on his own Facebook page, Finlay on the Fells and Insta page finlayonthefells!
