Dec 09 - Happy 1st Birthday to Arko, Dancer and the rest of the Snopeak puppies! I can't believe its December!!!!! Where did the year go???? Kifa seems to have recovered well and quickly and is not happy about going back outside for a few hours a day in the dog pens. Cameron and I ventured out for the annual 'xmas shopping trip' and managed to get it all done in one trip. Just have to wrap it all now.... Cameron made another long journey down into deepest darkest england to LKA champ show with three of the dogs. Squeaky gained a 4th, Dancer a 2nd and little Arko won his junior dog class, despite Cameron being informed by another exhibitor that Arko had such an 'ugly face'. Thank you to Rhoda and Derek for putting (up with ?) Cameron and the dogs up for the night. :-) Hexie has decided winter is the best time to blow her coat and looks like a burst couch and Witchy has decided she wants to run with the scooter again. I took her for a short run and she loved it, in fact she gave me a right ticking off for not taking her for so long. She is a lovely girl but she does like to shout and let you know when she's not happy with you!! We also attended the SSHC rally at Tentsmuir for the saturday only. We had a good day and the dogs ran well. Arko, Wilson, Dancer and Squeaky came 3rd in the four dog class and Norris and Mo came 6th in the 3dog class. The weather has not been fun this month with freezing temps which always means our water freezes. We also got snowed in at Camerons Aunt and Uncles and couldnt get home for a couple of days. We had all the dogs with us and enough food for them so we they were ok. Witchy did manage to hurt her shoulder when she slipped chasing the poodles about but safter a days rest she was fine. Merry Christmas to all our friends and family from us and the dogs xxx.

Jan 2010!!! - Happy birthday Dad! Jeez, I can't believe its 2010 already!!! January so far has been cold, snowy and windy. Not a particularly nice combination and coupled with burst pipes and no water its really not nice! We spent most of the holidays at families houses and kept falling asleep because it was way too warm for us!! (nowt to do with alcohol....honest!) Our neighbours the Wilson's have been fantastic and keep us topped up with water and have allowed us to train the dogs in the field behind us. This has been a godsend while the weather makes it difficult to get to our local forest. Thanks guys xx Have a look at our 'working gallery' for lots more pictures from our snowy January training.
