    Lucy was a wonderful Mum. She loved her breaks as well. They grew up way to fast.

    Oh what a beautiful trip down memory lane. Thank you Sam, you’re digging up some wonderful footage. Please keep digging when you have time. Of course there are many subscribers who have only known Banjo, Matilda and Rosie as they are now and so it’s special for them to see these cameos of their puppyhood.
    Lucy was a great Mumma and with her encouragement and Luke the master swim coach, those three adorable wee puppies, in their life jackets, took to the water like they were ducks. And still today are amazing athletes in the pool.❤

Such beautiful memories…. And look at them all now. Banjo, Matilda and Rosie are divine and outstanding members of the pack, and I watch Lucy and Conrad elsewhere, also delightful to see .
