And now for the 11 questions, posed by Frada at MMR.

1. What keeps your dog most entertained?
A good, stuffed Kong to last.

2. Does your dog like grooming?
Earl enjoys grooming more than Ethel, who is still getting used to the process.

3. Would you rather go for a morning walk or evening?
Hmmm. This is a tough one. I'd say morning walk, because of the fresh atmosphere.

4. What is the most embarrassing thing your dog has ever done?
Earl is a good boy, but Ethel once stole a donut off a visiting friend's plate.

5. Do you compete in any activities with your dog and if not would you?
Yes, I compete in agility with Earl, at Grade 5 Kennel Club level, and Ethel is coming up.

6. Does your dog like water/swimming?
Earl despises it, and steps carefully around the smallest of puddles, but Ethel is a bit more robust.

7. Has your dog ever won any prizes?
Gosh, yes! I have over 100 prizes, and Ethel has hardly began her career yet!

8. Why did you name your dog what you did?
Earl and Ethel have old names, because Borders have an old and rustic look! Earl is also a regal name, and Earl is the most regal looking dog you could ever see. Sat there, head held higher than the highest mountain on earth and beyond.

9. What do you like most about blogging?
The chance to write about your passion, and join a wonderful community of fellows.

10. What is your favourite flavour of ice cream?
It has to be bubblegum. Mint choc chip soon follows.

11. Does your dog have a special habit or thing about them?
Well... Earl will just do anything for me, whatever it is, and Ethel is a mental pup. Haha!
