" The King " couldn't have had a bigger or better guard than Sampson to protect him while was on his throne in How Tun Woods this afternoon.I love the way the big mans ears are pricked and that huge smile on his face.He simply loves being near Benjy.

The new commander of the Royal Guard,General Sampson,was guarding " The KIng " as he rested on his throne in How Tun Woods this afternoon.No danger of any attacks now !! He's a truly magnificent dog,and has such a wonderful temperament.

Sampson wasted no time in joining Benjy ion How Tun Woods this morning.They love to see each other.

The big man and " The King " were pleased to meet up again at the throne in How Tun Woods this afternoon.

As we were leaving How Tun Woods this afternoon,Benjy's big pal was just arriving,and he came straight across to say hello,the first time we've seen him this year.What a fantastic fellow he is !

This is the first time Max has had the run of the house and just went to his bed to go to sleep he is now fast asleep :)

Taken in How Tun Woods in February 2012,Sampson gets down to Benjy's level,and,as usual,Benjy's calling the tune.

A very happy boy today, well he is always happy, now just have the pic to show his happiness :)

In How Tun Woods this morning..It's always a joy to see him.

The big man dashed straight to his pal Benjy in How Tun Woods this morning,ignoring his owner's calls,in spite of the fact that Benj was eating his head !! Anything goes with these two !! But I'm sure that Benjy's grip wouldn't even burst a soap bubble.
