Lovely Luna

Baby girl is looking great and I'm so jealous that Linda got to see her last week-end!

I'll get my turn soon I hope! 

Tali Went Swimming!

After Nico's panic at the pool last week, between us we decided there was no point putting him through any more of the sessions. Basically he's not a water baby.  At the end of the day I was only doing it to try and build up muscle for the show ring ... though I love to see him win, his happiness is far more important than any show win. 

So having paid up for another three weeks, rather than loose my money I decided to take Tali for a bit of fun. Well I hoped it would be fun for her anyway, after all she's been swimming in the lake since she was 6 months old, and at her age I felt it could only be beneficial to her.

Fetch....

Ok I'm Off

Trying to steal the toys!

Yeah I guess she quite liked it!

When Jamie Met Junior

 Breaking all the rules, today we went out to play in the yard. I'd cringe if anyone I'd rehomed a kitten too told me they had done the same. But sometimes you just know don't you! It was the same with Nico, I let him off the lead on the walk 2 days after he arrived here, I just knew he wasn't going anywhere! 

Like I said, Junior is not at all what I expected, I really thought he'd be a nervous little guy who'd still be hiding in the kitchen now, instead I've got a very confident happy little chap. Even so, don't worry his trip out was strictly supervised!

I must admit I didn't expect Jamie to come over, It was a pretty good introduction and yeah, they almost played.

The Heartbreaker

I swear I've never come so close to chasing after someone and shouting, "here's your money, now give me my puppy back," as when this guy left. And yeah I still want him back!

Without You.

Louis and a baby Jamie

It has suddenly dawned on me that I don't know how to go about introducing Junior to the dogs. Of course they've seen each other, but one or the other has been in a crate. It all use to be so easy, but then I had Louis! He was as close as any animal can get to 100% trustworthy in all situations, and he adored kittens! He was kind, patient, didn't get over excited and was tolerant of little nails and teeth. Mikey and Nico I worry would both be a tad OTT and clumsy, Tali has proved herself to be less tolerant with age. Ziva, Jezi and Sammi? No, for lots of reasons No! Finlay, not sure, he was unsafe with cats when he first arrived here, but though he's settled well he has no "relationship" with the cats at all, they are just there. That just leaves our Asha ... I guess it will be her!

Louis and Riley

My concern is only whilst he's so little, the dogs live with cats so that's no problem. But at the moment he's a fast moving, cocky little spitting monster. Steve is concerned about his size, in his mind he's much smaller, or younger than he should be. Bless him he worries about me and doesn't want me to go through the devastation of loss again ... I'm not afraid to admit loosing Riley so young was utterly heartbreaking and I couldn't bear to go through it again, but sadly with any living creature that's the chance we take! I will always remember Riley and though I was blessed to have him in my life my memories will always be tainted with the sadness of loosing him at such a young age. So now let's not dwell on the past, I have 8 wonderful dogs, 5 lovely cats (well 4 and a Tia .. lol... don't mean it witch poo cat!) and now a little kitten called Junior has joined the mad house...

..onward and upwards ....so to speak!
