I suspect Biscuit is going to love being in the 52 Weeks Group for 2020.
It will be his 3rd year, his last in 2017 so it's been a while :-)

He enjoyed this Summer morning walk, got to swim, run, pose for a throw of the ball reward, bark at a little horsey (behind a fence) that seemed to want to play with him and sniff sniff sniff and almost chase a couple of bunnies, something I thought I'd cured him of, but obviously the effects have worn off ... he bolted after a bunny one dark morning a couple of years ago, I yelled a correction, something like "no" or "agh!" just as he fell in a ditch neither of us saw in the dark on the side of the road and did a somersault, shocked him so much he hasn't even looked like he wants to chase a rabbit until very recently ...

Anyway, we are both looking forward to it all again :-))

for the "favourite parts" challenge

I reckon Biscuit's spots are just about perfect :-)

Some time ago I read up on the Dalmatian breed standard and one of the things I remember is that their spots are supposed to be basically round, they can overlap but you should still be able to see each spot as distinct, and patches are a disqualification ... Biscuit has very nicely spaced and distinct liver spots :-)

My absolute favourite part though (and can be seen here top left) is the crinkling of skin where his neck meets his shoulders ... not sure if it has a name or if any other breed has that?

I only have 1 Dalmatian figurine and I got it specifically for that little part of crinkled skin that was depicted, as opposed to the rest of the figurines I've ever seen
