Maisie in Training

Maisie doing a spot of training in the park, best place to  have it!!

What? No dogs?

The house feels very strange. No dogs and no husband. Stewart is unfortunately back in hospital after feeling unwell on Saturday and the girls have gone to Granny's to make life a little easier until Stewart is out of hospital.

Winding down.......

With much sadness the blog will be winding down very shortly. Rosa leaves us on the 17th November. I will post photographs of the puppies as they come in by email. So please do come back and see how the puppies are doing. If you have one of Cali’s puppies please remember to send me some photographs, I will post them on the blog and also on facebook. We don’t expect another litter until next year, providing Alba gets a good hip and elbow score and of course her eyes are clear. We will, without doubt  be using John and Brenda again, no, not with Ty but with Jordy, their new puppy. Who, I have to say is just the most beautiful dog you can imagine. The blog will be winding down but we wont stop it completely. There will be news and I hope to show you how well both Cali and Alba do “picking up” on the shoots we are off too in the next few weeks.

Digging????????????????

Cali Jnr at home in Berkshire. An image as rare as hens teeth. Well, when did you last see a puppy dig in the garden......................?

Quote of the day.....

If you can look at a dog and not feel vicarious excitement and affection, you must be a cat.  

Quote of the day.....

If your dog is fat, you're not getting enough exercise.

Quote of the day.....

My goal in life is to be as good of a person my dog already thinks I am.  Unknown.

Quote of the day.....

Ever wonder where you'd end up if you took your dog for a walk and never once pulled back on the lead? 

Quote of the day.....

If you think dogs can't count, try putting four dog biscuits in your pocket and then giving them only two of them.  ~Stewart Thorburn

Quote of the day.....

In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi human.  The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog.  ~Edward Hoagland

Sock it to me puppy!

I invested in some very expensive Fair trade socks a little while ago. My fault this happened but what's fair about it!

Quote of the day.....

Dogs have given us their absolute all.  We are the center of their universe.  We are the focus of their love and faith and trust.  They serve us in return for scraps.  It is without a doubt the best deal man has ever made.  ~Roger Caras

Telecom Problems

Sorry about this. We are having MAJOR problems with our land line. If you need to contact us please use the mobile number at the top of this page or use the email. We are with Sky but if we have problems they send out a BT engineer and the cost is over £100.00! No way Jose, so I am asking a private engineer who will do the work at a fraction of the cost. Please don't get the impression I'm mean it's just that I was born with short arms and my tailor makes my pockets extra deep!
