sunday afternoon i visited sophie & sam at their lovely home and coaxed them (with MANY dog chocs, salmon and kebabs!) to remain in one spot long enough to have their photos taken. it seemed that their favourite thing to do was immediately approach the camera to get a pat, so their owners’ help was required throughout.
