Hi Folks. Mick here.

What a weekend I have had, Friday the 13th was unlucky for the local woods as that was my first venture into them. They were all that Charlie had told me, full of dog scent, wild animal scent strange people.

I had an encounter with a wooden bridge, I could see flowing water below it I was not very sure about crossing this but my pal Charlie said "what are you waiting there for? there's loads more to see and do over here" so off I went.

As a matter of fact I have now been over these bridges several times now over the weekend they are just a walk in the park!!!!!.

We had BBQ Saturday and Sunday this weekend, Charlie told me to watch out usually dad drops a sausage off the BBQ, I am not to dive in and eat it straight away as it will be too warm, usually the old man will pick it up put it to the side let it cool and then feed, great!!!!!.

It's Quiet Here Tonight

I had the dogs at work tonight but the girls didn't get much of a look in as Diesel was busy making a show of the big dogs. First session he was assessed for his Good Citizen Puppy Foundation and passed with flying colours, major proud mummy. In the second class we did a mock Bronze assassment and I am stunned, he was only there for socialisation but would easily have passed and was much better than most ofthe big dogs. I am so over the moon, a couple of weeks ago I was struggling to get his attention in class and now he is just a dream to work with.

Will get a pic of him with his certificate over the weekend.

P.S. he also had a quick turn in Ringcraft and stood, all be it not very still, and then moved really well

Diesel

Hi Folks





Sorry we've not been on in a wee while its been busy here. Diesel is comming on really well and is now the model pupil at puppy class to the extent that he is now their poster boy lol (see attached pic with his pal Tessie and their trainers).



We went to the beach to have a bit of a puppy get together for those that could make it on Saturday. It was lovely to see the puppies playing together, and their older half brother Rubels tried to bury Scout and Diesel in a hole he dug, and he nearly suceeded lol. Then we had a picnic and a quick training session. Must start planning the next get together lol.

Sunday was my first judging appointment and a really fab day. Diesel had a great time socialising and practicing his training while I was judging. Everyone thought he was lovely and a few actually knew what breed he was, big step forward from the guy in the pet shop who thought he was a Cavalier (he was 6wks).

Anyway best get off and do some housework before he wakes up.

Hope everyone is enjoying their puppies

Forgot to add

Trio was also weighed he weighs 11.3 kilos and we thought he was little!

Trio Update

Trio went for his first walk on the beach yesterday. He dug a hole, briefly drank seawater and asked the ultimate question:

Have I got something on my nose?

He got a fright when the tide came in.
