Extra Sad News

Over the last 3 months some of my older favourites have past away, not all owned by me, or bred by me, both breeds, Gordon Setters and Large Munsterlanders, it brings it home, just how little time they are actually with us, and we should cherish every second we do have with them.

The latest one was Tina's Fergus, Gordon Setter, Clemansall Phantom Menace of Celtaur, bless him he is the dad to my Sona, Celtaur Camhanach, and grandad to my home bred Esta and Yeats.

He went peacefully in his sleep 13 12 2010.

REST IN PEACE

RUN FREE LIKE THE WIND WITH YOUR PLAYMATE FAY

well done from all at Ichbin

This week..............................

Not the best photo in the world but this was the road earlier this week when it rained hard, not a long time raining but 20 minutes!!!!!!!! It was also when the dog room flooded twice

Nice bright morning to do the tatty fence, thanks to Alan for coming and transforming the above to the below

Now we have to take down the tatty fence and get rid of it but least of all the dog area is now safe and won't come down in the next bit of wind we have, and according to a lot of people we have a lot in Lincolnshire................

Only a Gordon can do this so well..........

J & P had their Grand son staying last week, as you can see he is a happy boy, but look in the background at the Gordon sitting with his back to proceedings, this is a typical trait he is pretending to sulk because Jude is staying but keeps looking round every few minutes to make sure J & P are noticing that he is sulking!!!!!!!!
Never mind Tarot he's gone home now but hate to tell you he's back later in the month..

what some of the dogs are doing this afternoon!!!!

Heather has taken to curling up in the cage since being spayed last week, everybody else you will see is flat out she did at least raise her head when I came in from bringing in the washing.
Heather will be off shortly to her new home, she will be missed, but best for her.

Whispa is visiting today while her owners are out, and she decided to take up residence on one sofa, no room for me to sit down......

Demi laid, well sort of, on the back of the chair, no she isn't related to Satchmo, as he does that too, the pups have been playing all morning, nice to have some quiet time!!

Sage again deep in sleep, laid across most of the other sofa

Dear Echo, laid in the doorway as she likes to be cool, is staying today, she at least opened her eyes when I stepped over her to take the photo, Echo, bless her, is coming up to 14 years old.

I started the day off industrious until the hoover belt broke, so have had a lazy day since by watching the European athletics and Glorious Goodwood horse racing, in between wrestling the junk post off 2 pups as they decided to help themselves to it out of the firegrate.

Demi needs a home

My steel grey and white large munsterlander girl needs a loving pet home, she is now 5 months old, she is cage trained, micro chipped and fully vaccinated.
She travels short distances in the car and is house trained.
Her colour is a throw back to the breed before they came over here in the 1970's

BEFORE & AFTER

the peas as they were meant to look and below what they and the potatoes look like when SOMEBODY leaves the veg garden gate open and 5 pups have some "FUN"

Rhum sat watching who is coming

it was Rhums turn to come in on her own today and she decided to relax on the settee, the alert expression is cause somebody was coming in,

Satchmo

Satchmo came for a few days and he decided

to take up his normal place of residence, the back of the chair, a real chip off the old block as his mum use to sit in the same place, crumbs 3 years since she went and it still hurts ......

way to go Kaia

WELL DONE TO SARAH AND KAIA
at the LMC show yesterday they held a scurry and Kaia was the fastest Large munsterlander being beaten into second place by 4/100th of a second by a Goldie attending the show

Sarah had a good day winning 2 classes with her other munster Loki.

LMC Champ Show

It was very warm today but at least the rain stayed off and only thundered as we left,
Ali came and picked me and Balian up this morning, then her car died when we arrived at the show, she had the RAC take her back to Essex, me and Balian came home via Toni Ann, so thanks for the lift very much appreciated.

Rhum laid down looking at a bird today in the shade this morning

Then deciding to flirt with her dad to get him to play

After playing mum making me do a Sit and Stay....... she says I will need to learn this when I get a new owner, but soon give up as I find concentrating for long a little boring, well I am only little, but enjoy the treats and praise that go with the boring stuff

Sage

Daddy dog, Balian, below one of his daughters

This is Sage, sat in the dog run, today, the look says it all, I was trying to get a photo of her with her dad but she refused to sit with him, he was, as usual, laid down elsewhere saying "so what" as the photo above Sage clearly shows.......................

Whispa

Whispa looking to see where her dad had gone too this morning
and finding him and giving him big girlie kisses, she is such a loving girl with dogs and humans
