Merry Christmas

Its Christmas for Dogs Too!

We have Kevin staying with us for a few days, so the three of us went to visit Molly on Christmas Day. We had lots of runs and plays at Molly's place and had a feed of Scooby Snacks for lunch. All Molly's toys were spread everywhere and by 3:00 pm we were exhausted and had to sleep. It was about then that we had to come home leaving Molly to clear up her toys. It was a great Christmas, and we still have the evening to go.

Merry Christmas to all our readers all over the world.

Summer Storm

Here we are, resting after a hard night of thunder storms. Rain, Wind, Thunder and Lightning all night, neither of us got a wink of sleep. The rain started yesterday afternoon, too late to save the Aussie cricket team, but it kept on for the rest of the day and was still raining a bit this morning. Now it is OK for the humans, they have indoor plumbing, but we have to go outside. Poor Hannah aged 4.5 months, had a reef knot in her back legs waiting for a break in the storm. Ah well, things have calmed down now, so we will try to catch up on our beauty sleep.

Party Time

We had a party on Sunday. Audrey and Kevin came to play for the day so there were four of us running round playing chasey, hunt the ball, find the Cricket and the best game of all, see who can scrounge the most food!. The pic shows us playing chasey, Hannah on the left, then Kevin, Audrey the Deerhound and then me with the sock in my mouth. They were all trying to get the sock off me.
There were lots of humans there too, but all they did was sit around talking, drinking and occasionally dropping a snack for us.
Hannah and I slept like babies last night.

Top Lady Dog

I won the Top Obedience Bitch at the club for the year, and all I got was a bit of glass. I can't play with it, I can't eat it, I can't even read it, all I can do with it is look at it.

You would think that after such an award I would have got a new toy, or a lump of steak or even an extra bonio, but no, I had to sit here and pose for ages while Keith fiddled with his camera, and this pic was the best we could do. Hannah was running about barking and carrying on like a pork chop laughing at me while I had to pose. Life is tough when you are a Toller.

Hannah's Show

Hannah has been in her first show as a Baby Puppy. There were two shows and she was the best Toller Baby Puppy both days. I taught her all the things she has to do in the show ring, but she forgot and went to play with the judges and started to gallop a bit in the triangle. Kathy soon brought her into line so there was no harm done. After all she is only 3 months old, and KNK could not even walk until they were 12 months old. The pic shows Hannah stretching out in her turn at the Triangle.

Tiffany is recovering

Tiffany went away for most of Monday, and when she came home she was all floppy, sleepy and could not walk very well, a bit like Keith after he has had a Glenfiddich. She has been shaved on her leg and has stitches in her belly. She was a lot better today, but KNK won't let us play. The pic shows us lying quietly in the sun on the back lawn.
Keith said she has been converted from a Miss to a Ms. and she will be back to normal soon. I just want my big sister back so we can play again.

Agility Trials

Tiffany here, last night I was in the Jumping and Agility trials. We were doing really well until we came to the second jump. I went round it on the first attempt, then got it on the second try. The next section of the course was great, the pic shows me touching the colour on the way off the dog walk. After the weaving poles we had 4 jumps to go but Keith got in my way and I went over the wrong jump, so that was the end of the trial. Not bad for the first attempt. We won't talk about the Jumping class, OK?
Hannah had an evening of being fussed over and patted by everyone. She is losing her puppy hair and is growing her big dog coat. Everyone thinks she is a beauty.
I am going into see Doctor Sally tomorrow to become a Neutered Dog, Not sure what that means, but it is bound to be good.
