Must be in the genes!!
We have a line of stones along the side of the house, and Bella makes a habit of grabbing for one every time she goes out of the back door! And I know what you mean about chasing, they are getting very fast now aren't they.
Bella has just had her walk for the evening, and is now lying comatose in her bed. I must admit though, that on these dark evenings a solid black cocker doesn't seem such a wise idea.
Shes loves the weekend walks when she can get off her lead, but the puppy recall isn't so good that we can chance it in the dark! She is only 13 weeks though (Fred's sister!!) so can't really complain.
