Evie cuddling with her mum and the new baby

This is Evie, Dunfionn Jade

she is cuddling up to her mum who is just home from having her second baby.

Evie, is one of my foundation bitches and mum to my first homebred Fluich litter which included Jenny & Pete's Tarot who is dad to my second litter.

Loves nothing better than being with her mum, dad and the kids.

Thanks Katie for the update.

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.

Tarot and his topknot.....................

Have used this before I am sure but have been filing today and sorting and this is Tarot at his back door, reminding me to book the groomer for his children and his sister, as I can stand the tatty feet but the topknots have to go!!!!
Thanks Jenny and Pete for the photo
Cannot believe he has been with you 18 months now
See you all next month

Cash and Tarot

This show Tarot and his friend Cash who live a happy relaxed life in Norfolk, he has been with Jenny and Pete nearly a year now, as they said they would love him but wanted to wait until they had moved, well just before Christmas last year he went to visit and ended up staying....
Cash and him are best buddies and are constant companions. Thanks Jenny and Pete for giving him such a lovely home. They can be seen in the Large Munsterlander Calendar for 2010, anybody wanting a copy please contact me as still have some available

THAT WAS THE WEEK THAT WAS............................

Monday May 26th This was taken am today as I went in to clean out box as you can see mum and babies now fine and relaxed. Think the pups will think they are related to Yeats, as Tweed allows him in to sniff the pups when she is in there. Excuse the marks on vet bed etc thought it was worth taking the photo anyway...........
Monday 25th May Finished staining the fence, most of it done sitting on a chair as knee and ankle too painful otherwise, father managed to lay 2 slabs as I am not a lot of help.
Sunday 24th May A NIGHTS SLEEP.................. peaceful Tweed and household, after mentioning all this to Tweeds breeder she reminded me Tweeds gran did not like the door to the whelping room closed, so against all odds, left door open and now she comes and goes as she pleases, milk now in big time and everybody happy.
Ali kindly brought Yeats back lunch time after his weekend away and did wonder what Tweed would do with him going in the puppy room, she set the ground rules, you come in when I am in there but not when I am not, all it took was her chasing him out once now no bother and everybody relaxed.
Saturday 23rd May Congratulations to Ali and Nessie at Bath as placed in 2 big classes and well done Hannah and Yeats as they were also placed. (Photos will be up when Ali sends me them)

Pups now 5 days, beginning to go back to a bit of normal life........... This is Saturday late on and finally cracked the situation with Tweed, after no sleep and out staining the fence at 5am to get some peace, with Balian asleep on the garden too, gave in and went back to vets who couldn't find anything wrong with Tweed, another lot of medication and me in a foul mood cause of no sleep, came home and did everything on auto pilot .
Friday 22sd May. Still very tired but Tweed had a good night. Think medication helped. Ali came to pick up Yeats to go and be groomed ready for BATH champ show on Saturday as she was taking him and Hannah to the show, he was staying out as groomed in Nottingham and Ali lives in Essex......... Alan and Ed came and put up my new fencing and the paving slabs were delivered. Thanks to those 2 garden is beginning to take shape.
Thursday 21st May In vets by 8.30am not feeling good and bothered what was wrong, they found nothing but gave her medication to help her milk come in after a very comprehensive check up. When finally went on here late evening found the photo below send to me from Jenny...........................................
with email saying thanks for letting them have Tarot earlier in the year as he had helped Cash and them through May 15th a year since they lost their beloved Visa and hoped the photo of Cash and Tarot singing to Pete helped me through today as it was 2 years ago I had to let Freya go, and she knew I was dreading the day and may needed cheering up, what she did not know was what was happening this end............ yes it worked and pleased he has helped you 3.

Wednesday 20th May As you can see mum and babies relaxed, that same day Tweed decided she wasn't staying in whelping room with pups as her milk had not come in and was distressed and couldn't feed the babies, so I hand fed overnight to see if milk would come in, by 7am it hadn't so off to the vets we drove.
Tuesday 19th May Pretty uneventful, tried to catch up on sleep and jobs as you do.........
