Whitley

I went out for a wee while to get dog food and when I came home, it had rained and my garden is soaking wet!  But Whitley needed to pee and so he had to go out and get his paws wet, hehe...While I was brushing him today, I realised he has grown so much.  I love to watch him when he is sleeping and realise how big he is now compared to before.

I took some pictures of him with his wet paws.  It just stoped raining when I got home so the garden is still really really wet.

I thought I would add some pictures of Whitley when he was much younger so you can see how much he has grown.

Whitley a few days old

Whitley about 2 and half weeks old

Whitley heard something



Whitley saying - "enough pictures already!!" hahaha

 Zeus is coming to visit Whitley in a couple of hours from now.  The garden is wet but oh well, I will make an exception today, the dogs need out and need to play!  I hope to get some pictures of Zeus today and hopefully will be able to share with everyone tomorrow.  Have a great evening!

Found!

A few days ago, I posted about a lost sheltie.  I dont know the owner or the dog, but when I saw about it on facebook my heart sank and it brought me back to the time when I lost my dog as a child and found it a year later.

This morning I got news from the owner of the lost dog (Ozzy)  She told me that Ozzy was found yesterday evening!  Oh god what wonderful news,  eventhough I dont know the owner and her dog, I felt so happy that he was found and reunited with his owners.  It brought tears to my eyes.  I am really happy to receive such good news and what a great way to start my morning.

I prayed that Ozzy would be found and he was found.  Thank you god for being so kind.

I am really really happy for Ozzy and his owners. I hope to meet them one day.

You have a great day!

Home Sweet Home

All my dogs except for Whitley and Blossom went on a 'holiday' and they are all home now.  We went to the groomers today too.  They were away for 6 days while I was busy at home sorting many things.  Blossom stayed with me because she may be expecting and Whitley boy is too young to go out 'partying' so the both of them stayed with me.  For the first few days,  I was so busy and tired I didnt even get any chance to miss them.  I didnt even have time to eat at times, hahaha.  By the 5th day I missed them really badly.  I got the house ready, cleaned and I drove 140km/hr to go pick them up.

Everyone was so happy to see me.  When they got to the groomers, I bet they were staying, oh man...can we go home now??haha...so while they were getting groomed, I went and got myself groomed as well!!  Everything is in perfect order now and I couldnt be happier.

As soon as I got them out of the car, they ran about happily.  Josh was doing some kind of 'dance'!! It was really nice to watch.  For the past few days, picking up after them was easy as I only had the two of them at home and once they got out of the car, oh boy, it was about 1kg of poop I had to pick up after they had their dinner, hahaha.  Good thing the weather was great, no rain and am really happy.  We got home late evening so I didnt manage any pictures.

Whitley was EXTREMELY happy to see his pal, Patrick and the both of them played. 

A missing sheltie notice was posted on facebook and the person contacted me to see if I could help her.  Here are some info of the missing sheltie and if you happen to come across this dog, please contact his owner.  I hope whoever took him will return him or whoever found him would too and I hope wherever he is, he is safe and somehow get home soon.  Hang in there Ozzy boy.  I pray your owners find you soon.  Please tell your friends about this missing dog too and help find him.  Thank you.

A Fun Evening

The 3 little rascals are out playing in the garden.  The weather is great.  Cleo and Caesar will be going home tomorrow after staying with me for 23 days!  Whitley must have been so happy to have them around.  When they are together, they will be up to some no good and make me work harder, hahaha...my garden looks almost like a battle field, thanks to Cleo and Caesar.

Whitley is getting really really handsome. Just look at him.  At times when I watch him without him knowing, its like watching a "mini" lion!

I took some pictures of them having fun outside.  Enjoy!

Having a meeting before they start their game

Cleo, always happy!



Christmas presents for my doggies

Christmas is just around the corner and so I thought I would go get my dogs some presents.  They have loads of toys already, so they are not on the list.  I think my dog has got almost everything a dog would want and if I were them, I dont think I would or could ask for anything more. And so I thought they might like some Greenies, some raw hide and some of those collagen strips to chew and they are pretty good for their teeth.

So here is what I got them.



Greenies, Orozyme Collagen Strips and Raw Hide!

 I know the raw hide is humongous!  I intentionally got the big ones.  Why?  If i got each and everyone of them one each, they would actually think someone else has got the better one and they will leave theirs and go for someone elses raw hide,  and all of them will end up trying to get one anothers and leave their own, hahaha.  So a nice huge one, am sure they will share and have fun trying to grab it from another dog.

PS:  The cute reindeer is not for the dogs, it is MINE, hahah.....it was too cute and was staring at me on the shelf, and so I had to get it.  Good thing it doesnt eat, or poop or pee.  He is my new pet :)

Acrobatic Dog!

A few weeks before Caesar and Cleo came to stay with me, my friend (their owner) told me that Cleo is able to jump over a 3feet fence.  Sometimes she also manage to come out of her play pen, which is about 3 feet too.  At first when I was told that, I felt, my god, how is that possible.  I never had one who did such a thing.  So when they were staying with me, I was worried that she might jump out of her pen while I am out or something and I wouldnt know what she would do around the house.

They have been staying with me for 20 days now and she has always been in her pen when I return home if I go out.  Yesterday however, when I came home, I saw my front door floor mat was out of place.  Hmm, I couldnt be in that much of a hurry to cause that. So I though to myself, oh well, perhaps it was me because it couldnt be anyone else.

Then when I opened the front door, I saw Cleo out of her pen and roaming about! I hoped she didnt do anything and luckily she didnt.  After 20 days she finally did that. hahaha...She would proabably make a great agility dog when she is older.

Am back!

So sorry for the long pause,  I have not posted anything for the past one week as I have been extremely busy.  Now  everything revolves around the weather.  Everyday, WHEN the dog goes out depends on the weather.  In the past,  they have a routine and its the same daily, but because it is raining so much now, anytime it is good to go out, they are out! regardless what time.  So I play the weatherwoman and have to decide, when they go out.  They dont follow the usual routine anymore, if I did that, they wouldnt be having time outside.

So its 1pm now, usually they are in sleeping, but now are out and I let them out as long as they want and as long as the weather allows so that I am fair to them and they are not robbed of their play time outside.  Its no easy task.  Always having to watch out for the weather and its really tiring.  The wet weather also means I work harder to keep them dry and clean.  Cleo and Caesar will be going home in a couple of days time.  I need a holiday!! haha...I wish!!

We didnt manage to show Caesar for the November show as I didnt have any help then and his owners were away.  We will show him Feb and March next year.  He has a full set of new teeth now and its looking good.  Cleo and Whitley have a perfect set of teeth as well.  Caesar has changed a lot in terms of colour.  He has got a really dark shade now.  Same goes for Cleo.  As for Whitley, he had a really light colour when he was younger and now it has become deeper and orange like colour, similar to Daisy.  Even King has become a little darker, look at his coat now, its almost like a tri coloured sheltie.

It looks like its going to rain soon, its gloomy outside and I managed to take some pictures.  They were running about and the pictures arent great but at least something.

Whitley boy
