Woodland Walk

With the lovely summer weather we have had we took the girls to the woods for a leisurely walk. This wood has several different walks so we went on the easy access walk so I would not have to clime over anything !!

Summer Fun

Mum and Dad came to visit and we were lucky to have the sunshine on Sunday so we had a great BBQ Nigel put the gazebo up (a job he hates) and we had a lovey meal alfresco.

Uma's Boy

It is now three days since Uma had her little boy. She had been living with Jasper for a couple of months, one to keep him company and also if she called he would hopefully mate her. Well after a while we were convinced he was not interested so took her out. a few weeks latter I thought she was looking a bit chubby,, then noticed she had 'pinked up' and to our surprise and joy we now have a little baby boy 'Eddie' It has taken her a few days to realise she is the mum although she is very attentive now at first she 'didn't remember eating that' all is OK now and little Eddie is feeding nicely.

first steps

Hi. it is still lovely, sunny and warm here so I have decided to put Emma and her six week old kittens in the nursery garden. It was so lovely to see them trying to maneuver in the grass.

They are getting very good at climbing to the top of the fence, it's a good job it is covered or they would be off exploring the country side.

A First Class Murder

On Friday night we all got together for a murder mystery night, It was good fun but doing the dinner and participating in the game was quiet challenging. around the table were The murderd woman's Husband, (Al) her father (Nigel) her sister (Becky) Her ex- Lover (Leigh) the lovers girlfriend (Nicole) and type cast again her Maid (Me) here are the suspects any one had motive to kill her, But I am not saying who it is..

What a Week

Last week my son and his wife came to visit, they live on Jersey so we only get to see each other about once a year. I was supposed to pick them up from the airport Saturday but unfortunately I fell down the stairs on Friday night so spent Saturday at the hospital getting x-rayed and so on. Becky went to get them.

Sunday was a lovely hot day so we spent it in the garden BBQ-ing

This photo of me in for Becky as she brought me the dress and Hat back from her honeymoon in Thailand this is Nigel getting drinks.

Paroo coming to his new home

Today I have booked the ferry to Holland to pick up our long awaited for new Pharaoh Hound Paroo. He has been looked after by his breeders Annakarin & Mathias in Sweden and it is now nearly time for him to come to us. We are so grateful to them for all they have done it is not easy keeping a puppy for so long and then giving them up. Thank you so much

Kitten Hunt

Today we have had some kitten fun. Bengals have a habit of moving there kittens at about 10 days old. it is believed this is to stop predators finding them and having lunch. So when I went into the living room where our girls have there babies and found the kitten bed empty I thought here we go, where are they, as they are now 4 weeks old I though we had got away with the kitten hunt. I eventually found them behind the TV. Emma has been eying this corner up for some time and now we know why..all babies are back in bed and seem to be staying for now !

Finland Trip

Hi, I have been away in Finland Judging so have not Blogged for a week. so have lots to tell.

Myself and a friend were invited to judge at the Finish Pharaoh Hound & Ibizan Hound Club show. It was a very tiring experience but we enjoyed it. We were looked after very well and I wish to thank the committee for making us so welcome. My best in show was a great surprise as after the judging I learned he was sired by a dog I exported to Estonia 8 yrs ago, I had no idea at the time of judging I just knew I like his type and he had the 'old' type of head and expression so missing now. He was Sawhorse's Dance Revaluation. My best Bitch was from the junior class and was quite lovely. I see she was a US import to Finland. Shalimar Mia Affirmed. My Ibizan Hound winner was La Reina De Tekoneva D'Snout, she was only a youngster but with the most Fab rough coat. My smooth was Fruntrunners Gazella

Another Lovely Day

It is another lovely day here and we are planing a BBQ latter, Yummy. I have had some great Photos of our Lovely Paroo sent this morning he is 7 month old and living with his breeder Annakarin Wahlgren in Sweden till his Pet Passport time is over (6 month) Nigel will be picking him up in Holland in September and we can not wait. He is such a happy boy as you can see from the wagging tail. Annakarin and Mathias have done a wonderfully job in caring for him, It is a long time to keep a puppy then let it go. But we are so grateful to them.

Hot Sunny Day

It is a hot and very sunny day in Lincolnshire today, the old Pharaohs are feeling the heat and Alia is in and out. She really wants to sit in the sun but finds it too much. Mindy on the other hand is happy to stay inside all day...Alia is 14yrs this year and Mindy is 10 yrs so we let them do as they want.

Nigel is in the garden as usual, he also loves the sun, I tend to stay out of it as I am Lilly white and burn.
