It is Number One Son's 18th Birthday today! Amazing how the time passes. Not long and he will be off to Uni and then who knows where and what?
While I was away, Mrs RC rebuilt the rabbit runs so that the babies are now away from their mom (much to mom's relief it would seem!) in a run that can be split down the middle when we "know" who are boys and who are girls. Hoping for more reliable sexing this time around...
I will finish this post with a few more photos from Malta.
Meet Daisy. Definitely not a Maltese Terrier, but probably a contender for the fattest Pug in the world! She was beautiful and I had a great chat with her owners too, both about dogs and life in Malta.
Statue of St Nicholas in a village square. This is an outlying town with a centre consisting of old buildings and then a ring of newer, more modern housing around it. Like a lot of places with this sort of contrast, the village is essentially 2 communities which have very little to do with each other.
An ass that bit me in the foot! He looke so cute too - look at that cross on his back! I am sure that he gets used in lots of Easter parades. I just hope he doesn't bit everyone who strokes him! Maybe he was expecting some food from me, but I didn't have any and his food container was well stocked anyway.
This dog was a total cutie. He really looks like one that my mom owned many years ago. He was cautious at first but I squatted down and held out the back of my hand for him to sniff and he was soon rolling over for a tummy rub.
Lunch is calling! More photos and a tale of lost geographers soon...

The last one definitely has some Border Collie in it.
wReggie - Definitely. Maybe a dash of black Labrador or something in the mix as he was heavy for a Collie.
That is one fat pug! There certainly seem to be a lot of dogs in Malta, even if not the Maltese kind. And the burro bit you in the foot? I guess there are worse things.
Happy Birthday to your son!
Happy Birthday to Number 1 Son!
Mrs. RC certainly wasn't bored while you were away. I suspect she's rarely bored anyway.
You sure did find a lot of dogs in Malta! Daisy is definitely cute. Not sure I'd want her sitting on my lap though. I was thinking that last one looked like Wreggie's dogs. Looks like he agrees.
Welcome home!
Happy Birthday to your son. Hope he has a great day.
Nice pictures of Malta and the characters. I agree that Daisy is one big pug. And that last one is definitely 90% Border Collie. You sure did spot a lot of dogs in your travels.
Terri - Mrs RC does not do bored. My quest for a Maltese Terrier made me take even more notice of dogs than usual!
Agg79 - My new camera did me proud - I have hundreds of photos, so I hope you are ready for more!
I tried three times to leave a comment here last week, but it wouldn't publish - I'll give it another go - fingers' crossed!
Looks like you made a lot of new, four-legged furry friends on your travels (smile). I used to supply all the office staff to the UK based Head Office of Air Malta, in the day. Oh boy, could I tell some tales about that place! The Maltese MD there was a bit of a dictator, he went through a LOT of staff..
