Fussel harrasing Jenna

Yesterday evening, after the dogs were fed, I was sitting in the garden.  Then I saw Fussel and Jenna sitting under the willow tree and it was such an adorable pose together,  I went in quietly, hoping Jenna wont get excited and hopefully she would remain in that position.  I had to do this quietly because, when Jenna sees the camera, she thinks its play time because often when they are playing, we are clicking away, hahahha....

When I came out with my camera, they were not sitting like how they were a few seconds ago but something funny happened.  Fussel is very fond of Jenna, she is very gentle towards him.  Jenna was finding a spot to poop and Fussel has something else in his mind!  He wants to play! So, Jenna kept going round and round looking for her spot too poop, but everytime she tries Fussel will jump on her, hahahha.  Finally after the 3rd time, she gave Fussel a bark probably to say - LET ME POOP FIRST.  Look at the pictures, its so hilarious.

Fussel wants to play and kept jumping at Jenna

Jenna barked at him and he looked at me with this face, AWWW poor little baby. He is probably thinking, what did I do wrong?? hahaha, its ok Fussel boy you didnt do anything wrong, you will learn in time.

Patrick

This is Patrick when he was a wee baby.  He was about 2 months old then.  Isnt he cute?  I got Patrick when he was 7 months old.  He is now 9 months old.  I cant wait till he grows up with his full coat.  I bet he will look stunning.  I have always loved shelties and sable and white was my favourite.  In the past all I wanted was MORE sable and white.  Then I begin to like blue merles.  I saw Jenna and fell in love with her and so I got her.  THEN I wanted every colour!!! hahaha...Finally now, I have all the colours.  I now appreciate all the different colours.  When you see them together, playing, with all the different colours, its just facinating to watch.  In the begining I never saw myself having anything but sables and one sheltie is never enough.  Its a terrible disease to have I tell you!! hahaha, I call it SHELTIE FEVER.  Once you have it, the only cure is to get a SHELTIE, hahaha.  But I love it, its not a bad kind of addiction.  I do know my limit and I must be able to care for all of them without compromising anything.  For now, I think I have enough shelties to keep me happy for quite a long time, although a couple more sables wouldnt hurt, hahaha.  I am really looking forward to Jenna's litter, it would be my first blue litter. I am really excited and hopefully I will have some wonderful news in a couple of months time.

Fussel

Fussel has been with us for two days now.  He is fine and well and happy.  Everyone loves him including my adult dogs and he doesnt cause any problem, very well behaved.  He is very fond of Whitley, they love to play with each other, they also share the same pen and sleep together at night.  Weather is cooler today and they been out alot.  I took some pictures today and here they are.


Fussel and Whitley

Caesar and Cleo will be coming to stay with us soon for a couple of days.

Whitley's Vet Visit

We took Whitley to the vet yesterday to get his rabbies vaccination done.  When we left the house, he was sleeping.  So I picked him up very slowly and gently and he sat on my lap in the car all the way to the vet.  He sat still occasionally looking out the window.  This is one thing I really love about shelties.  They are not crazy in cars.  They are all so well behaved.  I have seen dogs jumping about and barking during car rides.  Imagine if I have a few in the car and all behaving like that! hahaha....Thankfully all my shelties behave so well in the car.  None of them go crazy or bark.  You will find them looking out the window or sitting quietly till they arrive.  People are often impressed with their behaviour including my groomer when I send them all over for grooming and bath.  One of them is my champion, Blossom! I can put her at the front seat and she would just sit and look out the window! haha.

When Whitley arrived at the vet clinic, we got him weighed and he then got his rabies shot.  He made no fuss, he was very calm and didnt yelp or anything like that.  It was over in a few seconds.  The vet gave him a pat on his head and he wagged his tail.  Some dogs behaves differently  when they arrive at the vet, some become a wee bit scared, but Whitley, he had no fear at all.  He is a mighty prince after all!

Once we were done, we waited at the vet for awhile (normal procedure after the jab) to see if he reacts to the jab.  After that, we got the approval to leave and so we did.  Whitley rested his head on my chest and slept all the way home.

Fussel is doing well and happy to have dogs around him.  He is a very well behaved dog.  Whenever he wants attention, he would bark, but the way he bark is so 'polite' it is as if he was saying, please come and play with me rather than, come play with me now!  He is only 3 months plus and is superb with his toilet training.  He never once mess his pen during the night.  He is such a lovable boy.  Thats all for today, I shall go play with Fussel and Whitley now.

Whitley has company!

Zeus went home yesterday and Whitley was back to being alone (without someone his age to play with)  He dont mind playing with the adults at all, its just that he loves to play with someone his age too.  But he has got company today!  Fussel is here!  He will be staying with us for awhile.  Fussel has grown so much. Looking more and more like his daddy especially the face.  When Fussel arrived, he was a bit reserved towards Whitley but soon they began to play.  Fussel loves cuddles, whenever you pick him up or cuddle, he will be wagging his tail so much!  I am really happy to see him and I am glad to be able to spend some time with him.  I took some pictures today and here they are.

Look at Fussel below, giving Patrick puppy kisses, awww, so sweet.....


Father and Son, dont they look alike??

Aimee wants to be in the picture too, look at her making funny faces! her tongue is sticking out. hahaha

The Grand Reunion

We had another barbie today.  Weather was dry but pretty hot but it got cooler later in the evening so all was good.  The pups had their grand reunion.  Cleo and Caesar came over today and was happy to see Zeus and Whitley.  Its been a while since they played together and it was great watching them.  They are all so happy especially Whitley.  He is so full of energy it seems like he never gets tired of playing.

We ate, laugh and watched them play.  I had a great time with great company and am sure the pups were really happy too.  After Caesar and Cleo left, Whitley found a comfy spot and slept and nothing woke him up after that, hahahah. Finally he is exhausted.  Zeus was tired too.  They both slept like a baby while we clean up after our wee party.  Caesar has grown quite a bit and Cleo is so much fluffier now.

Here are some pictures taken today.

Another Barbie!

We are having another barbie tomorrow!  This time, Cleo and Caesar will be here too!  What a grand reunion it will be for the pups! Whitley is going to be really happy.

Today was a busy day, I gave Whitley and Zeus a bath, went out shopping for food for tomorrow and played with the doggies in the evening.

I just finished dinner and washing up and soon going to prepare for tomorrow.  Need to get those chicken wings marinated. I hope the weather will be nice, dry and cool as we are starting early.

You can expect load of pictures tomorrow and I am looking forward to a great evening tomorrow.  Till then good night!
