GUARDING MY SLIPPER

 

DIY

 

 Yesterday our half stable door arrived to put up in the kitchen door way. At the moment we are using a dog gate but it doesn't look nice and it keeps falling down, so we had a stable door made to fit the gap at a fraction of the cost. Its actually a gate for the garden but painted up will look great inside.

 

 We also have a guy here called Joe who is painting the outside of the house for us. I grabbed Wilkos own cottage cream paint but its very yellow, still its better than pink, but for the front of the house we'll get something a little creamer rather than yellow!

 

 

 These are some lilies I bought from Morrisons on Monday, I'm still waiting for them to open!!!

I'm not sure they're going to, its been 5 days!

Ive jut noticed, one has opened, ureka!!

 

George and Bonnie are absolutely shattered after a great run in the park! I wish they stayed exhausted all day!

Little mix

A little mix of photos for you all today, one of my mums knitted bags with handmade button, another lovely tulip taken by Jack and then there's Mabel pulling off teddy's ear, Betty and Monty looking extremely handsome.

Brothers

Monty and Lewis are back!

Such handsome boys

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love these photos that Jack has taken of flowers

 

 

 

Sisters

PJ was slightly infatuated with the cats!

 

Mabel

George and I being silly

Betty and Mabel are sisters who I have looked after for years and continue to walk every now and then. They are working cockers and have bags of energy, nothing seems to tire them out!

Just a quiet day

 

Poor poor fats!!

I couldn't resist playing around with this photo, I think the child came out in me!

 

Not a lot happening today, its very quiet.

I've had just PJ to walk today, along with Madge. At least the sun is out although the forecast is terrible for later on, gale winds and rain!

 

I found my good camera this morning so I've got it on charge and later I shall be taking some snaps, I need to learn how to use it again! Its not been out since my holiday last august

 

Heres a little video clip of Jack trying to get the ball off Jaz

Aunty Pickles

Pickles is a golden retriever that you will have seen on my blog many many times.

Last week I saw her pedigree up on the wall in her house, so I had a sneaky look and recognised the name Camrose which appeared many times, infact shes at least a 5 generation Camrose.

Anyway, George our retriever is also a Camrose an it turns out that Pickles father is Georges grandfather.

Ardingly Spring Fair

Yesterday Jack and I went to the Ardingly spring fair. Much smaller than the South of England show that's held there in June, but at least the sun was shining and it was nice to get out and oor something outdoors with Jack.

Mum was there spinning alpaca wool in the spinning and craft tent.
Jack liked the rabbits and enjoyed watching the big air ambulance arrive and take off.

There was also a big dog show being held there, lots of different breeds, I think George and Madge, who came with us would have won any class they entered LOL

 

 

 

Doggy First Aid course

Yesterday I went with Donna from Dinky Dogs dog groomers to a doggy first aid course in Brighton.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Everyone taking part had their own grooming salons apart from me, I was the only dog boarder/walker.

It was a good laugh, a lot was learnt and......lots of cake was eaten!

This morning we woke up to lovely sunshine, so Jack and I sat in the garden to eat breakfast and took a nice photo of Madge by the tulips.

Jacks very clever and has given this photo of the tulips in the garden a special effect, it kind of looks like its been painted.

 

Mum has gone to the show at Ardingly today to do some spinning, so later Jack and I are going to go along to see what she's doing, check out the stalls, watch the dog show and see all the other animals. A pretty nice way to spend a sunny bank holiday Monday!

Greetings once again

Hello all, its been sometime again since I was last on the blog. A lot has happened in the last few weeks. Firstly we have moved house!
We really weren't sure if it was ever going to happen. Jack and I had to move out of our old place for 2 weeks and go and live with friends before we completed on the new house, it was worrying as we didn't know if it was all going to go ahead.
It did, and we have now been in here for 1 month!

Today I am off to Brighton to refresh on my dog first aid course so that should be fun.

All the dogs are well settled and enjoying the slightly larger garden.

Eureka!!!

Well its been a long long time since I last tried loading a photo onto here and hey presto!

Its worked, so it looks like I will be back to regular blogging.

I tested it using a photo of my holiday last summer, just to remind me there is such a thing as blue sky and sunshine!!

Still won't work!

I think its time to give up this blog for the time being as my computer simply won't allow me to post any photographs!
I will try to get it sorted at some point, maybe a new computer is needed, this one is very unpredictable, but as money doesn't grow on trees a new computer is out of the question right now!

I'm sure I will be back sometime in the future.....watch this space!

I can't add photos

Well this is a little annoying, once again the blog isn't allowing me to add pictures!

I will keep trying everyday until it does, but until then I wont write much as I always think pictures tell a thousand words and are much more interesting to look at than a load of waffle!

Damp days

Since the new year I have been inundated with bookings!

All good as every year I worry it won't be as busy as the last, but so far looking good.

This week Paddy has been here, also a new dog called Bonnie and today is her 1st birthday, and to celebrate she has a nice walk, some raw meet, mmmm and a young lab cross called Finlay here all day to play with her!

Buzz the little Pug cross was also with us earlier in the week as well as Ella, a yummy little miniture Pincher.

Bonnie and Pickles the retrievers will be coming now twice a week for the day on a regular basis as sadly their owner died just before christmas.

 

Isnt it horrible weather, mind you at least its not freezing cold. Everything is 20 times dirtier with the rain, roll on sunshine!!!

 

 

 

the blog wont allow me to load pictures, I will try again later

HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Well its been ages since I last blogged, this year I will try harder to get onto here more often.
I have had many new dogs come and stay in the last few months, plus loads of our regulars. Above are photos of Bonnie and Pickles at Geaorges birthday party, George is my mums retriever who's just turned 4.
Fingers crosses that in the next few weeks Jack and I will be moving house. We will have more space with a larger garden which will be great. I will keep you updated on that!
