6 months measure

The "ladies" (term used very loosely!!) are 6 months old today, I'll get some photos and post them on my blog later. Sadly I can't weigh them because the vets are closed .... it's a Sunday!!! But just out of interest I have measure them to compare with Tali and Asha's heights at the same age... here goes ...

Jezi - 58.5cms

Ziva - 57cms
Danni - 58.5cms
At 6months Asha was 58cms and hard to believe Tali was only 54cms. I measure Tali at 59.5cms and Asha at 61cms now. Asha is slightly over the maximum height for a bitch, though she will be "sitting" her breed survey next month and will be professionally measured for that. Ideally I would like the girls to go no taller than 60cms, but the way Jezi and Danni are going I doubt I've got much chance!!!

Look Who ...

... I just saw outside Tesco. None other than my little Star, Enya May. She's looking just great, a credit to Gail and Michael!
I have to admit I had quite a lump in my throat and was overwhelmed by the welcome. But of course though she was really pleased to see us, it gave us both great comfort to see that the little kleptomaniac is very much Gail's baby now. Without doubt as heartbreaking as it was for us at the time we did the right thing by Enya by letting her go. This little lady will want for nothing, all the best with your life Enya, and be good .... cause I'll be watching!

Thank You...

... So much to Carrie for sending me these scans of photos of Blade taken in or around 1997. I guess I took the photos as I have similar ones, but I don't have these photos or remember them so it was a very pleasant, if not emotional suprise.

Again, Thank You!

Blade - Laecor Mikhail

Blade with Seffe and Dexi in the background, and a young Lia dealing with an itch!

7/2/1991

That was the day Blade, my first GSD was born. I first saw him when he was about 5 or 6 week old and collected him on the 14th of April 1991, 2 days after my 23rd birthday... and so my "life" really began!  I owe him so much, my first and very special boy.

 "Hogun I Fam!"

Kiri's MOT

Kiri in last weeks snow

I'm dead chuffed with how Kiri's MOT went tonight. Her Vet Jill Hubbard says she's "physically remarkable" for a 13 year old dog of any breed or type. Her mobility is good, her reflexes excellent and her heart is beating strongly. Sadly it's just her eye sight that's deteriorating. The vets suggests that it compares to looking through frosted glass, she will benefit from strong light and will see movement but otherwise her sight is poor. Still all in all very good news.

One for The Ladies ....

Ok two.... if you like that sort of thing!!!!

Nice to see George looking so well and happy.

Glad he's found love and fun again with Fadi, but I have to say,

 I do hope darling Kenny is doing Ok too.

I know there were issues, but we speak as we find, and he was lovely when we met him.

Good luck with your life too Mr Goss!

Puppy Race On A Misty Mild Sunday

Go-Go Girls

In first place is Ziva David (Daveed ... remember!)

But Jezi Baba is now putting in a lot of effort

OMG Daniella puddle duck(Don't ask!)

who was in last place has almost caught up!

Not great photos today I know but I only took the little camera out with me today. I'm gutted the rain has come and washed away my Winter Wonderland. All the dogs came home wet and dirty, some predictably worse than others of course!

I think I'm fairly settled in my walking routine at the moment, taking Ziva with Tali, Louis, Mikey, Asha and Finlay is working well. She's pretty obedient (so far) and doesn't wonder too far from the pack. Kai is very patient with Danni and Jezi and they mostly seem to leave Kiri alone, which is better for everyone. (Ziva tried to play kisses with her - not her most intelligent move) Anyway we'll see how it goes but for now it's working! There are more photos of my walk today on my facebook album .."Everybody's doing it." Hope you like them :)

Twittering Yog

I'm so thankful that George has been kind enough to share his holiday photos with his fans through the medium of twitter. He's looking great and he and Fadi seem happy and relaxed!
Thought I'd share with you some quotes that made me smile from George's twitter page today ....
"Spoke to doctors before I came away and they told me my recovery is way quicker than can usually be expected so I'm happy as Larry."
"Even my tracheotomy scar is healing nicely in the sun, was looking a bit Bride of Chucky for a while."
"People, I'm excited....just finishing a ballad that I think is going to make you think my eighties self has been re-born !"

So Peed with Myself!!!

I've got a stunning dog waiting patiently, the good camera and amazing background on beautiful day. Could have all made for a wonderful photo. Sadly it was not to be! Thanks to the Blanik team member who "snotted" on the lens causing half of Kai to be blurred! Sadly a moment I can never capture again!

Ok, hands up, It's my own fault for not checking the lens was clean! Disappointed.com
