Elsa's Home Page

Hi, I'm Elsa, the good looking, sensible, mature one. The above picture of me was taken when I was on holiday in North Wales. If ever there was a location built for Golden Retrievers then that must have been it. Everywhere you went there was water or mud. Oh, and sheep! Lots and lots of sheep. One of our party (and I'm not going to spill the beans and name names here but you know who I mean Molly) spent a good deal of time being lectured on the virtues of not eating sheep poo.

I love all kinds of water except bath water! On most days you will find me either in the sea, in a river or, if the other two aren't available, the nearest puddle (the muddier the better). Some of the pictures on this web site were taken on one of my holidays in Dartmoor, there are actually quite a few good muddy spots there. When Sabah was much younger she stepped into a puddle on Dartmoor that was somewhat deeper than she was tall. When she bobbed back up to the surface you should have seen the look on her face.

When I'm not getting wet I can often be found at home watching TV or trying to keep Molly in order. My favourite channel is Animal Planet.

Normally when it comes to food I'm not choosy I just like to take my time and savour a good meal. When I had my litter of puppies a couple of years ago I had to throw goods manners out of the window and eat as much as I could whenever I could. I have to admit that I even ate some of my people's food when they were not watching. I'm sorry but I was absolutely starving.
