This year is almost over. Time to look back on 2015, a year which we have had much sorrow. 8 doggy friends we've lost, including two hammies. Mango his son Sputnick and our great friend Faith. We walked a lot and had a lot of adventures. Nearly three weeks we were in Wales. Mango was at Crufts for Discover Dogs, and saw his grandchildren win in the ring. Mango also was once on a show and well in England. The year has passed very quickly . Enjoy Mango's year.

We all wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New year.
