Puppy Fluff is going....

The Puppy fluff is fast disappearing now and Bron is rapidly growing her adult coat. Her baby teeth are also falling out and making way for big teeth, tonight while she was having a chew on my sleeve I counted 8 1/2 new teeth at the front already!  A couple of days ago she only had two new ones - they appear just like magic!

Here she is pictured with Toby in the park last week, the oldest and the youngest members of the gang - Toby was 11 in January although he doesn't think he is 11 just yet, he likes to think he is still a young 'un despite being quite grey around the face and being a bit of an old grumpy knickers!  He has come to like Bron now she is bigger and he can play rough with her! Also he knows that when we go walkies with Bron there's always food in my pocket so he likes that too!

Pembrey Toller Meet

Yesterday we had a toller meet, mainly to meet up with the puppies that stayed in Wales, but older brother Cooper joined in the fun, as did the munsters.

Sadly Jane couldn't join us with Bron, but it was great to see Sox and Eve meet up again, and to catch up with Christopher and his family.  Eve very clearly told Sox that she was in charge of things, but he soon decided that he would join in with her.

We started by allowing the puppies to have some fun and a quick walk with the tollers (Tilly & Cooper).  A quick refresh back at the cars and a bit of training for all of the dogs, and then a spot of luch for the humans.

After lunch the pups were given a rest in the cars, kindly watched over by Christopher's mum who stayed with them in the cars whilst we took the 'big' dogs on a lovely walk through the forest and then onto the beach.

A great day was had by all, thanks for coming along, and thanks for the pics from Gerald (hope Dawn is feeling better).

Eve has a playdate

Today Ianto a 12 week old Field Spaniel belonging to our good friend Jan came to visit.  Eve and Ianto are in the same puppy class at Barnlake and will see each other at shows in the future. 

Eve had a great time, was a bit bossy and noisy at times and Ianto was giving as good as he was getting by the time it was time for home.  Eve is now sleeping soundly after all of the excitement and is dreaming of meeting her brother and sister at the meet tomorrow!

 

At 16 weeks Eve weighs in at a whooping 9.6 kg!

Happy Birthday Trio

Today Trio (Seahaven Borrowed Heaven) celebrates her 4th birthday along with her litter brothers and sisters!

She continues to be a pleasure to live with and is Tasha's shadow, wherever one is, the other will be found!

She has enjoyed a lovely walk in the Preseli's where she managed to find a pond for a swim, her favourite passtime even in the cold weather.  Now enjoying a quiet afternoon with a birthday treat or two.

Birthday wishes to all celebrating today, hope you're all being spoilt rotten.

First Swim - Whoops!

Went over to Walkies last week for a collie pack walk and Kate came over with one of her Tollers, Bron loved meeting lots of new dogs and really hit it off with Meg the small collie pup, afterwards we went down to the river for the dogs to have a little drink and before I could pop Bron on a lead she leant to get a drink from the bank higher up and fell in head first!  Whoops!  She disappeared under water, popped up like a cork and immediately swam in true Toller style.  Out she got, had a good shake and looked at us as if to say 'how did that happen?' anyway rushed her back to dry her off with a towel as it was quite cold but was quite surprised how waterproof she is already at such a young age, a good rub with the towel and she was pretty much dry.

I had an export job to do with an import on the back of it which meant I wasn't able to take Bron with me so one of my friends Jo kindly volunteered to puppy sit for the day (had a job getting her back!) She had a great time with her dogs, cats and chickens and was fast asleep when i got home

Barnlake Agility

A bit late posting this, it's been a very busy few weeks for the end of term!

Eleanor had her school play 'Jack and the Beanstalk - the musical! (of course it was only natural the she was picked to be the sheep dog!), which was fantastic.  Christopher and Tasha had a presentation evening, where they were both presented with merit certs. 

Anyway, last weekend was the Barnlake Agility comp, this had been rescheduled from January so only the munsters were entered.

We had a fabulous day, particularly considering that we hadn't been to any practices since Jan due to the girls being in season and then Crufts.

Maddie had a 4th, 5th and a clear round in the pairs (with Trio & Tasha).

Trio had a 3rd, 4th, 6th and also a clear round in the pairs.

We also took Eve along to gain some experience of being around a busy dog evironment, she enjoyed lots of fuss from everyone and took it all in her stride.  She even managed to meet some larger four legged friends as the event was help at a livery stables.



 

Bethan, using her 'cute face' to get some treats!

 

Here's Bethan, exhausted after her morning walk and taking a much needed nap.

 

Sian I took the liberty of posting this as it was stuck in drafts!  Welcome to the blog, great to see Bethan (Trio's sister) looking lovely as ever.  We will miss you all this summer, but hope to catch up in 2014 if you get the cottage booked.
