hi everyone

poor logan , you silly pup. do as you r mum tells you and rest up and you will be right as rain and ready to go.
for fraser -- we having our annula munster bash tomorrow at tentsmuir at 10am if you want to come for a woof day out. lots of munsters coming so you more than welcome to join us. let me know if you can make it. i have lost your number as my phone died and all the memory with it. anyone else reading this with a munster near by leae feel free to come along for the day

Blooming lumps!

Poor Logan is still on extended rest with his lumps - apparently something called hygromas or fluid filled bursas depending which vet we speak to. One side has gone down reasonably well but the other is quite firm and could take a while. He's a silly boy as I put loads of extra squishy bedding in his crate as per the vet's recommendation and he digs it up and lays on the plastic bottom. He's a little hyper to say the least and I finally relented and let him out in the garden with Herne for a little play - just how long does it take to clean up the kitchen after they've brought half the garden and pond in with them?!! Little monkeys!! They're separated and snoozing at the moment, giving me a bit of peace and quiet!

Apart from his mischief making, destructo dog behaviour, he's finally getting the hang of listening when we do a little training. He's been a bit on the slow side when it comes to basics but I can see potential when he stops playing and starts to focus - not that it's very often at the moment as he prefers to act the loon!

Love the pics of his brothers - they look great.

Hi everyone, just want to wish you all a very Happy Christmas, I've been out running about already with my new best friend Zeb, a Lurcher the same age as me, we had a lot of fun as usual...

Been really enjoying all the snow we've had recently, at least someone is happy about it..

Hope you all have a great time over the festive season, Fraser

Happy Christmas to all the Paws bloggers from Trio (and the Bramley's) in Northumberland!

Hope you are all well. Trio is loving the snow and running through the forest and is looking forward to his first christmas. Hopefully he wont take a liking to the presents under the tree as he has learnt that christmas decorations aren't that tasty.

Hope everyone is enjoying their puppies as much as we are.

merry christmas everyone

Merry christmas all my pup pals. An update on news. Jedda has went to a lovely home in the midlands with a great family who are going to work and show her. It turns out she had quite the apptitude for being a gundog and was best suited to a working type home so she is away. I miss her around but still have my mum. I also had my first show, i met my bro diesel there and our half bro rubles. he is a bit older and a great pal to us. i was a real good boy and won my class thenbeat mum for best of breed and i got best pup in breed too. then to make erin real proud i got reserve best puppy in show. i dont know what all this means but i think it was good as erin seemed really chuffed with me and i got a big ribbon thing thats bigger than my head - you cant eat it though. diesel was a prefect boy too and he got a 2nd so a brill day for the albadhus.

Me again!

I'm not very happy at the moment because I'm on bed rest. Mum says it's because I 'm always polishing the floors that I've got housemaid's elbow. They're all puffed up and one is rather hurty so I'm making lots of noise! Hope they get better soon or I'll have to stay home not play chase with my buddies. Some pics of when I was having fun last time we went to the farm to play.

Love Logan x

Here I am having fun with Caleb and Finn.

I'm sort of pointing here!

Autumn at the Inkbottle, Stonehaven

Fraser's favourite things...

Here are a few of my favourite things...

My Friends. Esme, 8 month old German Short Haired Pointer, I'm almost the same size as her now, when I first met her I thought she was huge! Mack, 6 month old German Shepherd Dog, he's all black and almost as handsome as me! Crunchie, 2 year old Chocolate Lab, of course!

My Walks. Minerwell Park, just round the corner, I'm there first thing every morning, rain or shine, well mainly rain! Dunottar Woods, a lovely forest walk in Stonehaven, busy with doggie friends and great fun! Duthie Park in Aberdeen, a large park with open spaces to run free in, I can spot another dog from one end of the park to the other, then I take off to greet them, zoom!

My trips to Stonehaven town. My mum takes me on walks into town and we come through the park on the way home. My trips to Aberdeen city. My dad works in a care home and I go with him once every week. I've met the residents and they're always pleased to see me now. Sometimes dad takes me out with them to the park on a nice day, I think it's called win win!

My training. I've completed an 8 week course, made some friends, including Kai, Japanese Akita puppy, and I'm going to be starting more classes in a couple of weeks time. My toys. Especially a squeaky bone that they call my vuvuzela because it's so loud that it drowns out the telly during the X Factor, is that a bad thing?! My Vet. I was there yesterday, I got weighed, 27.8 KG, and also got some worming stuff. My fresh water. I like to drink fresh water from the bath tap, I've got mum and dad well trained...! I hope that you are all doing well and having a great time.

hi bros from scout and the mad jedda

Well long tome no woof, think we have been too busy loosing teeth and having walks to type but we have a spare 10 mins before we go to our last pup party so here goes. jedda and i are loving the stubble fields around our house at the moment. they great fun and yesterday were full of large creatures that mum said was geese. they make a loud noise and all fly at the same time so they were awesome to watch - try to be quicker next time and get one for tea lol. We had our pal caramel the pony come up and play with us too, it was great fun having erin and her pony to be friends with and we all had a canter - we didnt know we could do that. our humans are loving reading all your stories and you all sounds great and lively. we heard about pawprint - now stan and he is just as busy as us and the other diesel too is getting big but you all have one thing in common your new mums and dads love you all very much.

Sore gummies

Hi brothers and sister, no photo today because I'm a grumpy, drooly pupster with sore gummies. Mum has been giving me some very cold raggy toys to chomp and also some gel stuff to try and stop them hurting. My upstairs big pointy teeth are to blame - Mum says it's awful unfair that growed up teeth have to hurt when they come but says I'll soon forget when I have a smashing new smile.
Does it mean everybody has sore gummies now? Mum says she hopes nobody else is homping the door frame, cupboards, lino, bed, concrete, pots and anything else within reach (she didn't know about the bottom of the washing machine 'til yesterday).
She said I'm not a real munster but a kangaroo x munster because I like to bounce about and jump on the worktop - I can just reach the back now if I run fast to get a good leap. I pinched her cup this morning and carried it round and it didn't break but she didn't want to share my slobber so put it in the dishwasher. I rather like the dishwasher 'cause I can get in there quick when dirty dishes go in and have a quick lick before the door shuts.
Me and Herne had great fun at the beach on Wednesday, we played chase in the water and got soaked and covered in sand before we came home for an afternoon nap while Whisper and Caleb had a walk.
Mum says I talk too much so I'd better go for now.
Love'n'licks
Logan

Trio is growing

Trio continues to get bigger and bigger. He is such a thief, he loves toast too or actually anything he can get his teeth around. He has such a long reach i don't think even putting things at the back of the bench is going to make much difference soon. He is such a part of the family i can't really remember not having him, he's lying on my feet under the desk as i type. hope all the other pups are being as mischeivous and lush.
Love the Bramleys

Hi Folks Mick here.

Well Neo good to see that you are keeping the parents on their toes, by helping them eat up. They can be slow eaters I have noticed, not like us. As a matter of fact the old boy had left some toast on the kitchen work top the other morning, I have'nt tried toast before, so i only took one bit to see what it was like. A bit dry I will wait till tyere is butter or marmalade on the next time.

Anyway my pal Charlie and I have been up to a duck pond in the forest we go up there quite a lot and he swims about. I have been thinking about this swimming lark, paddeling touching the ground fine. So now I am thinking there is a small island in the middle I will try for that. as you can see I got on to it, I think I could get to like this swimming bit, Charlie says it is great especially on a hot day.

Hi all :) Its Neo here. HaHaHa Logan good to hear you having such fun .......... me too! Being big is just great! I have learned to open doors (so easy!) , I can clear the baby gate with ease and as for kitchen surfaces - a whole new world has opened up to me!
The other day a friend was visiting for dinner and auntie Zeta was being a little cheeky and asking him for food......imagine his surprise when he looked back to his plate after telling Zeta he wasnt willing to share his dinner with her........only to find his plate empty! Chicken fajita YUM!!!!
Then there was the fimo model that Ziona made of Zinnia which was sitting in pride of place on the kitchen side.......when i finished with that there was just a head left sitting in a basket!!!! Just as well I am much loved (!) though I must say Ziona took it really well , she thought it looked really funny and said we should leave it as it is and mum said maybe we should add a sign 'DON'T MESS WITH THE MUNSTER' HaHaHa that made me feel very big and tough - which I am not at all , I love to greet everyone I meet but if my advances aren't welcome I scoot back to mum where I know I am safe.
Luckily mum loves me loads and loads and loads (I just have to bat my eyes and she is putty in my paws!) because although I can do all sorts of things now when I get to training class I get so excited it all goes out of the window, I dont seem to be able to concentrate and I can't be doing with the teacher wasting precious time yacking on so I bark and bark and bark to let her know I want to get on with disrupting the class! Mum has to keep me working continuously whilst eveyone else relaxes just to keep me quiet and stop me snaffling everyone elses treats :D I think it must be a little frustrating because at home I am so good she can now tell me to wait put my food down and leave the room and I wait sitting until she comes back and tells me I can eat my dinner - even when the other doggies have already started to eat! Mum still maintains I can speak english as I pick up new things in minutes........ and then forget it all when I get to class - everyone loves me there as I bring fun and enthusiastic exuberance to the proceedings! But then they don't have to keep me under control do they?! Luckily mum has a sense of humour and finds my antics as funny as everyone else -like I said all I have to do is bat my eyes ;) Will post some piccies soon. Any of you other guys getting up to mischief?

Good things

The silver hairy one has shown me that it's good to run as fast as you can to mum when she calls 'quickie quickie' and do a sit in front of her - mum always has special treats for this.

He also showed me how to lay on my back with my paws in the air for 'nipnips' and mum says my toe nails are beautiful when they're short - she keeps different special clicker treats for 'nipnips'.

He's shown me that mum saying 'nightnight time' means run to your bed as fast as you can so you get a bedtime bonio biscuit and when she gets a chewy treat out of the pot it means run to your bed so she can go to the shop.

Mum says we are going to try some baby agility, think she means I have to step over poles and walk on a funny plank like the others do - she says it will be good for me to learn about this on the floor before I get big enough to go to proper class. If it's fun like tunnels I think I'll enjoy it.

Must go, it's past lunch time and my tum is rumbling.

Love'n'licks
Logan x

aw now i can see how your mum cant shout at you two. Herne is a stunner. hope he teaches you good things too.

My partner in crime

I thought you might like a pic of Herne, my partner in crime. We love to play and get into mischief and sometimes Mum has to put us in our crate beds so she can get things done. Think we blew it trying to help with the washing this morning!

This afternoon I went to the vet for cuddles and to stand on the scales. I love all the people there and can't possibly come back out until I've said hello to everybody, even when they're busy! I did my very best to show Jean, the receptionist, how to use her computer when I came back out but the nurse lady was too quick and managed to stop me knocking everything off the counter. I didn't mind because she gave me even more cuddles and told mum she'd love to take me home. Mum said she'd change her mind at 4.30am when I screamed and screamed to go out for a wee! I only scream a little bit and then I run outside real quick, have a wee, race back in and wait for a treat! Got mum well trained.

I stood on the scales and I'm now a strapping big boy of 17.5kg. Mum says I've got to stop sitting in the flower pots as all that compost is making me shoot up. Mum can be so silly sometimes - its all the yummy grub she gives me. She let me have my first chicken carcass for breakfast - it took me a bit longer to scoff it down than the chicken wings but it was great chomping and crunching like the hairy one. The RC kibble is yummy too and I have that for lunch and supper and at tea time I have some kibble with other things added, like mince or sardines. Mmmmmm fooood is so delicious and I just love eating!

Love'n'licks from Logan xx

oh dear logan !!! tell your mum the good news is it looks like you will be amazing at agility!!! you and your hairy silver pal sound like quite a double act. your poor mum must be driven mad with the pair of you. you are turning into quite the handsome boy i must say.

Logan update

Mum says I'm a kangaroo in disguise after she caught me snaffling a tea bag off the kitchen counter - I used the crate in front of the oven to jump up. The crate is in front of the oven to stop me turning the gas on when I stretch up to see if there's anything up there for me, that gas sure smells funny. Mum thinks she's foiled my efforts now as the crate is on end so it's taller - I'm working on tipping it over without making too much noise!!

I'm growing up nicely but spend too much time playing with Herne and making extra work for Mum that she tells me if I'm not careful I'm going on the first milk train up north - I can tell she doesn't mean it really 'cause she goes out of the room and giggles.

Me and Herne went to the grooming parlour today as we were so stinky and Mum said she'd rather let somebody else get the 'pong' out of us. It was great fun, we stood in a big tub and had lots of fuss and a humungous blasting thing that made Herne look like a teddy bear 'cause he's all fluffed up. I just look handsome :)

catch up

hi everyone. loving the pics. would be great if everyone could maybe take a pic of their pup and put it on so we can see the gang.
trio and neo are looking fab and enjoying their new families so much. what lucky puppies.

Trio's country walk

Trio enjoying his walks in the country (and having the occasional rest).

Trio enjoying the beach in Northumberland.

Hi all its Neo reporting in :) Life is busy and life is good! I have started training classes but to be honest they are a little easy peasy as I already know how to sit stay, down stay, wait and recall and other things too! Mum says I am the keenest dog (or child!!!) she has ever had to train and she thinks I can understand english because I pick things up so easily! (which of course i can or how else would i be posting this?!) I have been to a puppy party and they liked me so much they asked me to be their stand in "big" puppy if they need one for future parties! I've posted a photo of me and Ziona on my first walk and there's a pic of me at the beach in a big hole that I dug all by myself. Zinnia and I are the best of friends now and mum says she is very tolerant letting me share her bed - as you can see "we" soon outgrew her rigid blue bed and I kept lying on Zinnia and squashing her without realising! So mum bought us a bigger squishy bed that we now "share" as you can see from the pics and sometimes the three of us pile into Auntie Zeta's crate together which is very cosy! There are plenty of other beds of course but its so much nicer too share! Anyway I am saving the best news for last. Today I went to my very first dog show. I only went to watch and meet the other doggies, but they let me enter one of the classes and I was placed second in the best condition out of about thirty dogs!!! They thought I was in very good condition - for a springer spaniel!! LOL! It was a very good day as Auntie Zeta also won a cup for best veteran. I hope you all having fun and enjoying exploring the world. xx

5 a day is good for pups

Mick says that fruit is good to chew on. I have tried pear, apple and tangerine, though I would not rush back to that one.

The old man gets excited when he sees me in his veg plot particularly when I am near his leeks. He has some golden wonder tatties in the ground, Charlie tells me that when they are being harvested any that fall in our direction are fair game for us. I suppose it is a bit like a sausage falling off the BBQ.

I was nearly swimming yesterday paddled in up to my chest in the duck pond Charlie makes it look so easy we will see what the weekend brings.
