That's Not Enough

I'm not greedy, I just like a lot of snow! 

James Blunt - Monsters [Official Video]

So James Blunt does it to me again .. as if Goodbye My lover wasn't bad enough.

Be Brave and maybe you can watch it without tears .. I can't!

A Bit Of Fun

These three always make me smile. It is without doubt the most entertaining walk. 

Is There A Doctor In The House?

The cough has escalated to a full blown cold and yes I'm feeling sorry for myself. For coughing, spluttering and snoting  I didn't sleep last night, though I did find more comfort from the cool dark bedroom than this sauna of a living room. Today the carer needs care ... all together "ahhhhhh!"
To be fair Steve did take Nico and Jezi out for me yesterday, though it didn't go to plan as Nico kept coming home. Bless him he loves me and has only ever walked with me. The other 6 got some time out in the fields together, a little tension but distracting Kaiah with rewards usually defuses things!
The van is  back off to the garage this afternoon to get the injectors seen too. He said I may not have it back for a few days. Bless him our local one man band garage never rushes .. but he's fair in service and price. I swear it feels like this van has been to the garage more times in 6 months than the other did in six years. It's OK to look good but you've got to work as well too. To be fair it is a high mileage van so I guess bits will need replacing. I'm reluctant to spend on it at the moment. I was going to put side windows in as the kids love to sit up and see where we are heading, but I have been stalling on the idea of putting a "Blanik" design on it, kind of feel like I've done that twice so it's not necessary now .. and it cost money best spent elsewhere maybe?
Loki has been back with Sammi since yesterday, Ross a few days longer. It is nice to get everyone back together. Kaiah and Ross must have missed each other and are like a pair of naughty kids most of the time. Though I felt like not walking we did go .. to be honest I felt much better outside than in, though it was colder than I anticipated. The heat and artificial light really makes me feel dreadful!
I came home to good news that the GSD missing for days on Carnedd Llywelyn has been found safe and well today .. such a relief.

Oh Nico!

Everyone knows that I love this dog so much, but sometimes... sometimes I feel like buying him a one way ticket back to Scotland. Yes there had been treats in it .. but there was no more and all he got for his trouble were ring cards a tissue and the ring clip. Yes, I had just hung it on the wardrobe door. Luckily for me it has been shredded from the inside of the pocket, so with a bit of luck a new pocket can be rebuilt.... I'd only worn it twice.  Nico is not the only dog to eat pockets ... Dexi did a fair share too!

Loki At Lichfield

Loki

First Open Show of the year and BOB for Loki at Lichfield CS. Having past experiences of the group judge we didn't stay, which we usually always do. I said years ago he would never have the pleasure of putting a hand on any of my dogs again, I will stick to that!  Anyway a great day with friends with the only upset being Kaiah almost rammed and run over by an uncaring, inconsiderate exhibitor wielding a large trolley. If we hadn't have turned around when we did I swear he'd have just run into her, we had to pull her quickly to the side. Maybe he couldn't see her over the crate I don't know .. but no excuse .. just slow down. I'm damned annoyed I wasn't quick enough to say something, it should not have been ignored.
Thanks Ian for handling Locus Pocus for me!

Perry You Are Not Funny

 Poor Jamie!

No of course he didn't move! 

Winter Sunsets

The last few night there have been some amazing sunsets. 

 This was Sunday night, watching it all unfold as we drove home was a privileged, absolutely amazing 

This was last night, the sun just going down behind Mynydd Cilgwyn. The "Niwl" creeping up from the Nantlle Valley and into the village and the colours of the sky so pale yet stunning. Two very different but stunning sunsets - how lucky am I! 

On Our Walks

In The Niwl

 Just love the expression on Asha's face

A very different day today, mild but damp with very limited visibility. 

Jezi's recalls were 100%, and the only issues I had was Sammi's air scenting and me unable to see if there was anyone about .. of course there was!
