Polar’s Diary – checking up with the vet
Pesky pup Polar is definitely making his mark in our home – in more ways than one! Here he is practising the Polar Perch – left cheek resting on a nearby chair!

He is into everything, including things he shouldn’t be into! His worst misdeed happened when we were out with friends for the evening.
