HELP

With just 4 days to go before I go away, today has just been one mass of jobs. It is one of our best friends B.B.q's tomorrow, so with orders of my coffee and walnut cakes to make, chocolate cakes, Garlic bread, food shopping to last 2 weeks, the housework to do as we are out all day tomorrow. I am now totally whacked.
Steffie needed school trousers turned up, her blazer sleeves needed a quick turn up, Jamie's uniform needed checking and yes I got all this done today, tea cooked and was ready to sit down to watch the X-factor.
Now all I have left to do is fill the 4 coffee and walnut, and chocolate cake then I shall be done. Next I will just hopefully have my case to pack, Andy bless him will just have to cope if I have forgotten anything else.

Tyson gets gold


Wow am i happy or what. my big old boy Tyson "the boxer" passed his gold award for the kennel club good citizen award.Over the years of training him we have done the bronze and silver but the gold has put the icing on the cake. This proves he is obedient,and has exemplary manners.

I now have to work hard with Bruno as we are going for the same award next month.
Some of the test we had to take......
Stop your dog while on a recall to you more than ten paces away.
Put food infront of your dog in a dish and they couldn't eat it until you say they can.
Send them to their bed
Answer questions on dog ownership.
heel free walking by your side. This means dog off lead.
Road walking dog by your side and sitting patiently at the kerb to cross not moving until told.
So as you can see I have every right to be proud

Doggy Day Of Fun


Last weekend Steph and i went to Windsor Great Park for the Wag and Bone Show, this is basically a big fun day for dogs. Everything was a pound a go, there was everything from toy bobbing, agility, Doggy pop idol, displays and lots more that would just take to long to mention.
Bruno and i did our agility and won our heat against another dog, we also did the doggie dash. Now this he is good at , you had to leave your dog go 50metres and then call your dog and they timed how long it took to get to you. Bruno did it in a time of 4.22 seconds, not bad for a little dog with short legs.
Needless to say a fantastic day was had by all.here are some photos taken from the day Naiomi with one of her 4 shepherds, ben with 3 legs steph with Ashy,all our dogs having a picnic and steph.
