Family and Vet

For the second time in as many days, someone has said, "Oh, I didn't think that Beti was a Blanik!" Eh? Well, she may have been bred at Pinchmill, but Beti is as much a Blanik as Meerah or Siska or any of the others; half her pedigree follows my breeding line. It just happens to be the top half from her sire and not the bottom half from her dam; therefore, of course, Zavi is the same! 

Today was vaccination day for Zavi, we saw Malan for probably the last time for a long time to come. Malan, who I knew before she was a qualified vet, is now very pregnant and has just a week left to work. We really will miss her. Anyway, back to Zavi, he was just great in the car park watching traffic, in the waiting room, and in the consulting room. He stood on the table chewing his fish and didn't even notice the vaccination – such a brave little soldier! LOL His Auntie Sharon came to meet him, and he was confident and happy. Today he weighed about 11 kg. 

With compliments on his bone and substance, his colour was mentioned again today ... it got me thinking, to me his colour is pleasing for hiis age, so I looked back. Of course coat and colour will not be determined until adulthood, but here is Zavi, Beti and Orin at 10.5 weeks old. I think the colour is pretty much the same, but even here you cab see Orin's eyes are lightening. 

Meerah's Sibings

Marley (Jet)

Seren (Opal)

Both are looking very nice, but neither are lacking in length of foreleg. ( yes I have seen photos of Marley out of the water! LOL )

Meeting Beti's Mates

Beti adores these guys; mind you, so do I! 

Big snogs as usual.

Zavi did so well, no nervousness, yapping or backing off, just curiosity

 I'm happy with that. 

Come on Beti, kiss them goodbye now!

Happy Birthday Meerah

Lovely Walks With The Guys

Zavi At 10 weeks

The only screenshot from the video that doesn't contain Jamie cat! 

At 10 weeks Orin was 8.6kg, exactly the same weight as Ross, Loki was 8.8kg. 

Zavi is now weighing in at 10.1kg. 

A Memory To Treasure

 I suddenly remembered that Zavi was 10 weeks today, Oh hell no photo. Not meaning to disturb anyone, I had a plan, well as you can see it didn't quite go as I'd hoped - but this is a video to treasure! 

Zavi's Day

He spent the morning with Auntie Linda, then had a visit from Uncle Ian, after a big sleep, he went socialising to Tesco. Another good day of positivity for Zavi.

Sammi And Zeus

Sammi and Zeus got the trip out to Tremadog today. We had a lovely walk, which was just what I needed mid-morning to stop me going down for murder! 

Size And Wheels

As I'm in contact with the owners of Zavi's brothers, I know that Zavi is now the smallest of the three boys. I'm not in the least bit concerned, as my boys are at the top of the size limit for the breed. (Apart from Zeus who's smaller – well, actually, height-wise, he's spot on correct!) It would be great if Zavi didn't get too big, but of course puppies usually balance out as they grow. 

A little bit more training, yes he had interest in the wheels, as funny as it was, but it had to be stopped today!
