Kane: Grade 6 jumping. (Bad handling alert)

Kane worked really well in this, sadly my bad handling let him down. :-(

Confessions for my very patient trainers:

I assumed he would take the jump coming towards me after the tube tunnel, I carried on moving to the finish without helping him at all, he did exactly what I asked him to do, (nothing).

Brilliant dog, shame about the pilot.

I did learn how to run him past jumps thou. Thanks David for the video.

Meet Harry my great nephew

So precious and tiny, I was really pleased to be allowed to have a cuddle now he is in an open cot.


This is the size of his nappies with my mobile on top to show you, this is the next size up to what he started with.
He is doing so well they have now removed his oxygen tube, he is still being tube fed. Today he weighed 4lb.

Lily



Lily is becoming something of a "Sea Dog" these days, helping to round up the crew for duty on the oyster beds. We have been building a series of barges to ferry tonnes of oysters ashore, so it's a good opportunity for Lils to practice her swimming and wave chasing duties which she takes very seriously. I get told off if I don't make the waves roll at just the right speed for chasing. Woe betide me if it's a calm day with no surf. Madam is not amused. I'm sure she thinks I have a magic switch somewhere! Of course there are also seagulls to be kept airborne, so she has a full working life. She is also quite good at hunting partridges on the farm. They never come to any harm, it's just the thrill of the chase. Lots of love Elaine and Lily

No shows this weekend :-(

I finally had chance to do the garden, it's really quiet maintenance free, it has to be I find a house plant a commitment.
I swept the leaves up from a huge oak tree that is my neighbours, took some weeds out our shrub pots, jet washed the slabs and decking area, then a job that has needed doing for years was treat the kennel to a new coat of wood stain, it now looks good enough to put the dogs in, shame its used as a storage shed! our house is there kennel as my husband would say.
If I wasn't busy on Sunday I could have done the housework aswell, oh well its there for another day. Hehe
I am going to meet my great nephew Harry tomorrow, who is now in an open cot and is now weighing in at 3lb. Bless him.

Made me laugh!

I was going through some of my old videos on my PC and came across these two from last year, they are of Meme who is meeting my tortoises for the first time, she was so funny. Sadly the phone only did a short video she was going backwards and forwards getting nearer and nearer but then jumping back again. Wonder what was going through her mind? (these meat pie looking things move) LOL
