Mucky Pups

With all the drought we have been having, and the wrong sized raindrops, the ground around here is sodden.   Give the pups a chance and they will roll and throw themselves in any mud pile and ditch they can find.

This was yesterday morning's efforts to keep clean......nah, no chance.

Bootz has a wonderful game chasing the small birds in the fields, she runs for miles, unfortunately, it is over the muckiest terrain.

Cody and Biz will just chase the ball, whilst Ash will mooch around in her own little dream world.

But we all have fun......until they get in the car......phwoah!!!!!!!

Embarrassed

Busy.....!   Just does not express the amount of things that have been going on since the last entry in October.

I am embarrassed to say that.....yes, it has been almost 6 months....sorry to all followers.

Thought I'd try to catch up on a few things:

Since the last post, Fella has now gone to my Father in Law....lots of tears from Sharon who was very close to him, but, it was the plan all along.   He has settled in brilliantly with the outlaws and is Richard's right hand man.   Sharon travels there on a regular basis and sees Fella quite often.

Cody and Bootz are just excellent...ok, naughty regularly, sometimes very wilful and do not return to the recall as quickly as I would like, but generally, they are good as gold.

Bootz had her first season, went well and was not harassed by either of the boys (to my surprise)

Cody just loves to chase the ball, then teases Bizley.....who is not quite as agile at the moment due to a cruciate ligament operation in January....he has put a little weight on, but that'll come off when he gets a clean bill of health at the vet tomorrow evening.

We are looking to move to the other side of the country in the Summer....house is on the market....just biding out time until the good weather and the prospective buyers come out.

So this is just a quick post just to get back into the swing of things.....will post some photos in the next one.

Cheers for now

Trampoline Fun

Well, didn't take long for the pups to start enjoying the fun of the trampoline....Biz loves to run around the outside and the pups chase his feet underneath.

Great dad, loves his kids.....

Beautiful - in black and white

I am a sucker for a well taken black and white photo....and here are a selection Sharon took of our pack in Bizashland.........

What the hell is that???

Is this my best side?

I'm Cody....love me...

Visit to Eastleigh

Last week, Sharon went to visit Debbie and Lindsay in Eastleigh..not to mention Jaffa and Honey.  The pups are the spitting image of Ash and Biz when they were younger.

They had a great time and it was good for Shy to take loads of photos.....a selection below:

They are turning out to be beautiful pups and it is great to see them grow up with smiles on their faces.

Leo on Youtube

Had an email from Patrick and Haruka, looks like Leo is having a Great time.......

 "Hello Rob, Leo is growing up very fast! He has had lots of new experiences. We took him to a small river so he can get used to the water. Unfortunately he didn't like the water very much, but he is still a young pup. If we take him once a week or so he will hopefully enjoy swimming when he is grown up.

He has made two new big friends who are GREAT DANES :) When he first met them he was a bit afraid and the Danes weren't quite sure what to make of him, but they soon got used to each other. Leo started playing with them by jumping all over them, but they just ignored him. In the end whenever he went towards them, they would run away!

 We had to buy him a new bed today as he has grown out of his old one. When we were out we met someone who asked if Leo was a Duck Toller. Haruka was very surprised as nobody else we have met has known his breed. Haruka was even more surprised when she said that she had an eight month old Toller! 

You can see Leo's adventures on his Youtube channel.

 Wonderful

Further adventures of Alpha

Had a wonderful email from Sean and Christine telling of the adventures of Alpha.

 "I thought it was about time I sent you an update on little Alpha. He's come on leaps and bounds since I last e-mailed you. He seems to be fully house trained now and has leaned lots of new tricks. He's no longer scared of cars and is really enjoying his walks (he always gets lots of attention everywhere he goes).

We took him for his first walk up in the lakes last week, it was pouring down with rain but alpha loved every second of it! He even went in the lake for a swim chasing some ducks! He's such a happy dog who loves to be around people and other dogs, always wanting to play.

We last had him weighed about 2 weeks ago and he was 8 kgs so he's definitely growing up fast.

Its nice to see his brothers and sisters progressing well in the blogs too, I've attached some updated pics of the little man so you can see him on his adventures"

Great to see the big man having lots of love and loads of fun...can't want for the next instalment.
