WARNING BE CAREFUL

Please be careful if you have a puppy and an adult when re-introducing them after one has been out.

Yeats came home Saturday and Balian turned himself inside out to say hello and got his paw caught in a small gap between the slabs, and now has a broken toe.
The pup has his foot in a pot and the gap has been filled in as with all, but it's a warning to all just how easy it is to do something stupid.
First time I have had a dog break anything bar a freak accident years ago where I sat on Ebony's tail........................

Hopefully will get photos up later in week but afraid Balain come first

Django on his 2sd birthday


Django relaxing on the sofa after helping his dad fix the garden shed and chasing round the garden all day with his buddy Dolce, below with his bit of the shed, not sure as Kathy didn't say whether he was helping in taking aways bits to help tidy up or just doing what munsters do. Lovely to catch up on the dogs. Thanks Kathy for the photos and update

Balian - second weeks training


Balian sat in kitchen with a pile of toys waiting for action!!!!

Braving the water a little bit by paddling

Running up and down by the side of the lake wondering if he dare go in

Out in the woods enjoying the smells

With my pal investigating whatever has been here before us

Having a well deserved drink after playing with a toy

Thanks again to Hannah and Sue for the hard work this week, he's been to ringcraft and is having a good time, he comes home next weekend for a few weeks. Miss him but know he's in safe hands

Busy week


Yeats looking fed up, he was hoping to be able to go with me when I fetched the dog papers.



The new dog pen now mostly slabbed, been a labour of love this week as father started this and then fell over watering his garden and hurt his knee so I had to finish it..................... next bright idea can I have somebody else do the donkey work, nearly done but some will need leveling, wanted to finish last night before the rain came and gap wasn't big enough for the slab hence the brick


Later the same day when I had done some more and Tweed was investigating why Yeats was sat on the soil in the wheel barrow, think she thought he was mad, but he kept jumping in it while I was putting the soil in earlier in the week...........

Yeats sat up looking handsome and proud sat on his wheel barrow full of soil when I was coming through the gate after watering the garden

The soil I moved from the dog area had to go somewhere!!!!! So decided to make a border, but it ended up much bigger than I had thought and had to buy plants to fill it up, not impressed at that. Just the area in front now to sort out when I feel up to it.

This has been done between going to the vets, shopping, taking father to hospital, looking after the pups and other dogs. Must say was delighted yesterday when Yeats name sake won the Ascot Gold Cup for the record breaking 4th year in a row.

Balian - first weeks training


Balian looking for trouble, by wondering if he can get away with having an investigation of a muddy puddle............ He is away training and it's me that is suffering not him by the look of these photos


Balian doing a recall while out on a walk, lucky him to have a walk like this on the doorstep

Balian out on a walk looking to see what is in the hedgerow, a typical munster trait.

Practising his sit stay in the garden with his pals Bryn and Ivy, he sat before he left here but didn't stay

Laid in the kitchen with Ivy, ever hopeful of some food

Sitting in the garden wondering what is going happen next

Looking into things soon after he arrived

Thanks to Sue and Hannah for taking Balian for some training as I cannot put the work in due to my ankle and knee. Hannah will be taking him into the show ring for me and feel only fair to let her get to know him. He is down with them for about 5 weeks then home then back again as he grows up so he gets the "extra" all pups need and I cannot give just now.

Lets see what next weeks photos tell us he has been up to

something different during May


Paulyne and her friend Margaret went to the Chelsea Flower Show, not that I am into flowers I was intrigued to see the garden that James May was involved in, he is one of the presenters of Top Gear, and this is the photo of his plasticine garden, yes it is fake, but could you guess by the photo. They kindly sent me this so thought I would share it..........................
