M&S Update

Ive got updates for two of the puppies, Megan and Speedy. The first is Megan, here are a couple of recent pictures of her. This is the email I received from Conor and Kate:

Meg is doing well, she now weighs 17.55kg and still loves her food!

This week she has eaten several CDs and DVDs (they must make good snacks!) and she is obsessed by stealing socks. She is doing well at her puppy class and is starting Bronze Good Citizen class in April once Heidi moves to the next class and she starts puppy agility at the end of April too.

I haven't got any new pictures of Speedy but who would have thought these lovely puppies could be so ....... Well I like to call it full of character !!!

From left to right is, Zippo, Eva and Zippy (ears up at the back), Megan, Reno and Speedy.

Here is the update from Jackie, sounds like it is going well :~)

Just to let you know we have used another 2 pieces of vet bed, he loves nothing more than to pull it all out of the kennel into the run where it gets covered in a smelly substance before he empties his water bowl everywhere. My sister's first day with him yesterday, she rang and said he’s fine no trouble he just wants to be with you ahhhhhhhhhh when I came home the doormat was chewed, she said in 20mins he had chewed the mat, pinched his food off the work surface and had a wee on the kitchen floor. However we love him to bits he is sooooooo loving.

Ps when I came into the dining room this morning the little darling had the edge of the curtains in his mouth :-O then whilst we were cuddling he pulled my earing out, I thought he had swallowed it, but we found it later on the floor.

So there is the M&S update (Megan and Speedy) im glad they love entertaining their owners.

Sunny Sunday

Agility training in the sun this morning was great, I think the sun must of put everyone in a good mood as all three of my doggies ran really well. Keisha not only did right hand weaves but did some really difficult entries to get into them, fingers crossed she remembers them for next weekend. Ronny and me did some complex jumping sequences in his class and he really listened and made it look like he does them all the time. I find Ronny quite hard to run as he is unbelievably tuned into my body language and the slightest move too quick will put him off. This morning I practiced contacts and weaves with Kody, he is really starting to get the hang of it and I must admit I'm quite looking forward to running with him at the weekend.

This afternoon i spent a good few hours cleaning the caravan, we have brought some new chairs for the summer and I've just got to pack the tv ready for next week, 5 days to go and I can't wait.

Jackie brought Speedy along to training today, he looks like he has settled in very well, apparently he is already on his fifth set of vet bed, still there is nothing wrong with a bit of character !!

Check out the picture below, its not so obvious which one Zippy is now.

Speedy goes home

Speedy has got a new home, I'm really pleased with the outcome as he couldn't of gone to a better home. Jackie my friend from our local agility club travelled up with her sister today to see Speedy at Jan's. I have been reliably informed he has been taken home and is set to lead a great life in agility.

This has left one minor problem, Speedy and Zippy will be training and competing together and as Jackie is a brilliant handler Speedy will probably beat us up the grades. Still on the plus side I will get to see him all the time which is great, I'm sure Zippy will be very pleased too.

So that's it, all the puppies have gone to flyball and agility homes and there is going to be lots of mini Ronny's running around.

Mid week update

Last night it was obedience class for Zippy, Pudsey and Kody. Zippy had a great class and has mastered a good minute stay away from me, he is such a clever puppy and picks things up so quickly. He loves playing toy and will do anything for it which is a massive bonus. Zippy obviously thought he worked hard and deserved a good sleep on the sofa.
I took Keisha in for my teaching class, considering she hasn't been to obedience class for over a year she certainly hadn't forgotten anything, she was so well behaved and I will definitely be taking her again to demo.
Next week the club is holding there annual triathlon where the agility, ringcraft and obedience sections all come together and compete in teams. A person from each section is put into a team and then we battle it out against each other. The obedience is providing a beginners class and an advanced class to compete next week. Dad will be representing the beginners with Kody whilst I have been stitched with the advanced competition. No offence to all my other dogs but I will definitely be taking Ronny, I can always depend on him pulling it out of the bag in a big atmosphere.

I found this picture of a young Ronny and Rusty playing together, I think it was taken at an agility competition a few years back. Talking of agility, I have my first camping show next week, the caravan is being cleaned at the weekend in preparation for it. Ronny and Keisha will be competing as normal however I have entered Kody in a couple of jumping classes too, it will be touch and go if we get the weaves but his training has been going well. I'm sure we will provide all my friends with good entertainment if nothing else !!!

Speedy

So here he is, the last puppy still waiting for his home.

Speedy was going to be homed by two different people but both pulled out and let him down. This litter was specifically bred for agility and flyball and hopefully he will end up in a home that will allow him to show his true colours.

He is such a sweet puppy and would make an excellent agility dog, for all of you that know Ronny (dad), im sure you will agree how quick this puppy is going to be.

If anyone is interested please contact Jan Ralph (Bonvivant Belgians) for details, I have now seen him for myself and he just needs his new mum/dad to take him home for good.
