Happy Halloween

Just the night for a sexy Vampire ... 

It's well known that I love Edward Cullen, and I quite like Jasper and Emmett,
 and to be honest Carlisle looks pretty sexy in his baseball gear too.
I was quite partial to Laurent , But James gave me the creeps.

And then of course there was Mitchell!

But Photoshopped or not, this is the Vampire for me

The sexiest Vampire I ever did see!!!!

Sorry George!

Gossip And Tale Telling

So apparently I'm in trouble again ... the next time I decide to have another dog I'll remember to ask all the GSD and the retired GSD exhibitors in North Wales before I make a decision ... No, actually I'll ask the whole of Wales their opinion ..OK? Before Nico's arrival  I told the people I chose to tell, after he arrived I told the world.
Am I pissed? Nope! Expect nothing different from the people concerned!

 And If "That George" does tour again I'll also get the permission of all my friends and family before purchasing tickets; especially if I intend going to more than one concert and leaving poor little defenceless husband home alone with all the animals!!!

Am I pissed? yeah a little, but I expected nothing different from the person concerned!

Thanks to both my friends who came forward to tell me what had been said behind my back, true friendship. Sad that people have nothing better to talk about and brood about. Sad they can't see beyond the box and actually see the good the two things in question have done and do for me.

In The Paper

 

Love this Write up for Nico from Gill Gray at NWA. Though for some reason he's listed as being owned by his breeder, he was/is mine ... honest!!! Unless Heather has a cunning plan to steal him back in the middle of the night;  No worrys there I have a dark tortie cat on duty .. even I'm scared of that!

Louis

Sadly it was not a great check-up for Louis at the vets today. I wasn't shocked to find out that he's still loosing weight. He now weights a scary 24.4kg, so two thirds of his normal weight. I really am at my wits end, there simply is no answer, all we can do is take it day by day. The three of us fully agree to keep him on 10mg of preds a day. Though I fully understand the implications of having him on this dose of  steroids I feel there is no answer so quality of life is paramount.

Louis eats reasonably well, missing just the odd meal. He's now on a fish and potato based dog food and his stools are often firm on this food, though I do wonder just how much he "gets" from his food these days. Still there is no way I'm giving up. Whilst Louis' quality of life is good and he remains playful and funny then sod the inconveniences ...we will continue to fight for him.

Thanks to my lovely Facebook Friends for sharing
It's/he's stunning

So Which One Of You Bought It For Me?

Pop star George Michael has auctioned off a selection of images of dogs to raise money for an animal charity in Kensal Green.
The montage of the pets, owned by himself and other musicians, sold on eBay for £680 yesterday (Monday).
The Highgate singer will donate the proceeds to the Mayhew Animal Home in Trenmar Gardens.
Several of the photos are of rescue dogs from the animal sanctuary in Trenmar Gardens, when they were being fostered by George and his crew on his ‘Symphonica’ tour entourage as they waited to find a forever home.
The 49-year-old singer, who had a hit with a track titled ‘Shoot the Dog’, tweeted last week: “Just want to let you know we have a signed goodie up for auction on e-bay, the proceeds will go to a dog rescue charity ... It’s a signed collection of all the pics we have called the ‘’doggie wall’’ on the tour.
“And there are three pics of my gorgeous Meg and Abbey on there :)”
The Mayhew, which was established in 1886, is entirely funded by public donations and costs more than £3,400 a day to run.
Caroline Yates, The Mayhew’s CEO, said: “Needless to say, we were absolutely delighted to hear that George had chosen The Mayhew to benefit from this charity auction.
“It is a fantastic idea to raise funds and it is wonderful to see Mayhew dogs on the wall in photos from the happy times they spent with their foster carer.”

On The Move

Louis and Jezi with Finlay and Nico in the distance

at the nursery in Tremadog.

One of my favourite childhood places but sadly not a great walk today.

Too many bloody dog walkers there!!!! lol

 

Tali and her precious son Mikey messing about

Ziva running with her mummy Asha
Ziva continues to impress me greatly. She must be the most obedient bitch I've ever owned, even more so than Seffe and that takes some doing. She's now running loose on the mountain through the sheep. Her "leave" is faultless and her recall instant. Maybe she can give Tali some lessons in recalls eh!! She may not be "Obedience trained," she may not walk to heel and jump through hoops but I've got more than I want from Ziva, she's very loyal and very very obedient. I'm not stupid enough to believe that I can ever be complacent when the sheep are about but I'm at least confident half of the younger generation have got the message!

Day Off Walkies

 

Louis and Finlay

I did get one of all 4 together - but prefer these 2 photos

I got a little carried away today, was out that long that

 Steve phoned to see if I was OK!

Where I Hope You Are - Symphonica Tour Milano 12 Nov 2011 - For Kenny

I never had the pleasure of seeing this live because George dropped it from the set list. Knowing the meaning behind the lyrics I guess it was too emotionally draining for him to perform it live regularly. Everyone knew George was on a dangerous ride, the press made sure of that. But until his recent confession no one knew why. Kenny's addiction and demons were haunting them both. This was recorded just before George was taken ill last year ..... and before we knew much about Fadi!

Where I Hope You Are

For so long

There’s been no-one else I care about

That my heart could really be so wrong again

Well it wears me out

I had a picture in my soul

Some place warm we could hang out when we’re old

Now it’s just – where I hope you are

These days, in so many, so many ways

My life gets bad for you

But your face when you look at me, look at me that way

Tears me in two

I had a picture, it’s not your fault

But the chair in the room where I get old

Now it’s just – where I hope you are

Oh, but there was a time

All I had to do was look at you

The world was mine

I’m telling you the world was mine

I’m so sorry

It’s like all of those deleted scenes you told me about

I’d pick them from the floor

Say Darlin’, show them all once more. For me.

A child’s fears

For so many, so many years

The good life got bad for you

But there’s no-one at the end of that smoking gun

Can’t you see your Mum and Dad just won the day

But it can happen, I’ve been told

Sometimes, babe, drunken angels stumble home

Now it’s just where I hope you are

Oh, but there was a time

All I had to do was look at you

The world was mine

I’m telling you the world was mine

I’m so sorry

It’s like all of those deleted scenes you told me about

I’d pick them from the floor

Say Darlin’, show them all once more, for me.

For me.

For me.

For me.

For me.

I’m so sorry

Llandudno C.S

Paula with Asha

Another fun day with my mates at Llandudno C.S. Without my "rocks" I feared I would be a little lost but we all sat together and I realised I wasn't Billy No Mates after all .. though ladies I have to be honest, you were missed!!!! Thanks to Paula for handling Jezi and to Mark for handling Asha to RBOB, Very glad Mark didn't try and run away with Asha today ... getting fed up of retrieving her from his car.... she's mine, you can't have her! lol.


Milli

It was lovely to meet Milli, Jan's new Millaner baby..what a little sweetie she is, without doubt she's helping Jan and her family heal after the loss of Alfi. (Tali's brother)
Huge well done to Debbie on BPIB with Nico's new girlfriend Chelsey ... she's just gorgeous.
Canine Society shows are so much fun these days, well within the GSD community anyway! The days of bitching and back biting are long gone. We all sit together, help each other and support each other. Just the way it should be, but never was. I don't know why it changed, or when to be honest, but the last few years have been the best. Support and friendship, just what it should all be about.
David Bailey wasn't with us today, she's in Manchester so very few photos to share. Thanks to Debs for taking photo's of Asha ....
