Pepsi's now 2 years old. Here she is enjoying the new grass in our rebuilt garden area! She has grown quite a bit and put on weight. Her coat has stayed mainly white and is still quite soft, and her undocked tail has grown lots of fans.

Wrought iron railings and a gate separate this enclosed garden from the patio and greenhouse area.

The quizzical look is because someone behind the camera is making very silly noises to make her look at the lens. She's a real character, mischievous, loves her walks, and likes to sit in the bay window watching the world go by. She barks to let us know whenever anyone is coming up the garden path.

Pictured here at night using macro and flash on my modest Casio, this Toad has been living in our patio area for a couple of years. Inevitably, Pepsi discovered it - which wasn't healthy for the Toad, or for Pepsi!! These warm summer evenings, before letting Pepsi out onto the patio I've had to use an upturned margarine tub and sheet of card to carefully move the toad to the enclosed garden to be safe from Pepsi's attentions. Neither Pepsi nor the toad have learned to steer clear of each other...
