Lilly Loo is getting stronger soon it will be time to think about her operation i know it has to be done but i would just like her to go on the way she is, but i am being selfish as the operation should make getting around easier for her but i just don't want anything to happen to herI will take her to be assessed when we return from Crufts.

congratulations

Ruben has just become the dad to 6 lovely puppies 4boys and 2 girls this makes 13 puppies in just 3 matings . It was a repeat mating as the last litter was so nice 5 puppies in that litter and Angela of Adnamashan Papillons would have kept them all but she had to decide, she kept 2 boys and one girl they have gone on to do real well so much so their winnings have earned Ruben top sire in Our Dogs paper. My puppy from Ruben "Bonmeshay"s Get Carter" is looking good hopefully he will do well in the ring. I wonder what Ruben is dreaming of "Wonder when my next date will be or I am just glad I did not have to take care of them all"

Ma wee boy

Took Carter out for his walk today he was a little skittish but i thought he would settle as we went along (big mistake) I turned into a side road with the intention of going to the park "i hate to think what would have happened if i carried along on the main road as its a very very busy road"I just started to walk down the road when a group of hill walkers came behind us but they were not noisy but it spooked Carter and he pulled back on his lead twisted and at this point the collar opened and he took off down the middle of the road i thought he was going to get run over ,he was deaf to my call and i could only follow as quickly as i could i tried not to panic but it was so scary i got him hiding in a bush he was so upset and shaking .I just stood there crying and cuddling him passerby must have thought i was a crazy woman.When we got home i got all the collars with the snap buckles and threw them in the bin i will buy them all safer collars in the morning.I decided to take him back out later in the day to leave him a positive felling about going out i put on a safer collar and off we set it went well and we returned home with a happy puppy.

Ruben"s Photo

I decided to have Rubens (NorthLyte Timeless) picture taken to celebrate his "Our Dogs" Top Sire Award i asked his breeder Liz (Northlyte) to be in the picture with Ruben and myself,what a day it turned out to be Ruben was no bother he stood like a proper little model he was so patient.The problem was Liz and my self when the photographer had the picture on the computer we were aghast at our images nothing to do with the photos it was just our faces they looked like Aliens With some patients from the photographer we eventually got a photo that wouldn't scare the kids as Rabbie Burns said "O the gift to gie us to see oor selfs as ithers see us"well Liz and i both thought we were bonnie.

Top Sire

Ruben has been awarded the Top Sire for Papillons in Our Dogs for 2008 he has Sired some really nice puppies.Angela (Adnamashan Papillon"s)has three in the show ring at present they have done so well this has enabled Ruben to gain this award.I am hoping to follow in there success as i will be showing my first puppy from Ruben(Bonmeshay"s Get Carter) he is looking real nice so lets hope the judges will also think so

Christmas is comming the dogs are getting fat

Well its been a lovely Christmas quiet just lazying around the fireside the dogs loved it getting all the nice festive food left overs.As you will see with the photos there was not much activity Training (what is that) we all know there is a price to pay but what the heck its great fun and weight watchers can wait for the new year and training can always be done another day.Ruben"s street cred will take a bashing with his photo him and his teddy.

comfy beds

Well Lilly Loo Loo seems to have the right idea Carter seems comfy in the suns rays,where as Lilly has gone for the bed by the roaring fire.I know which i would choose (move over Lilly Loo )
