Ziggy taking it easy

It's rained so much even Ziggy is bored.

Our cosy caves rock!

They're so soft and warm. Who needs the fire going.

Crates for sale

The silver crate measures 96 cm long, 65.5 cm wide and 72 cm high.

Black crate measures 96 cm long, 66 cm wide and 72.5 cm tall.

Wooden crate measures 90.5 cm long, 46 cm wide and 71 cm tall.

Nearly!

I nearly caught a rabbit! It circled the lawn three times with me in hot pursuit. We weaved left and right and tore through the garden at high speed. Then that rascally rabbit disappeared down a hidden burrow.

Fun in Rotorua

This weekend we all piled into the old but faithful ute and convoyed up to Rotorua for the North Island Bull Terrier Club Open and Champ shows. We had heaps of fun, and even got to go swimming in the lake (which was the highlight it you ask me). We even came home with some ribbons and ROM points. Results were the same for both shows. Ziggy got reserve best dog and intermediate of breed and me, Banderbear got reserve best bitch. Our daughter Anna Fang missed out but she had fun.

Evan Chino won a glass and medal for being the oldest dog.

It's good to get home though and relax.

Supervision is the key

Today I supervised the installation of the new blinds. It was pretty nerve wracking. Falling objects (her indoors), blood (hers again) and burnt fingers (yep you guessed it). But no swearing. A pretty good job all round. If you're looking for a good deal on blinds go to http://nzblinds.co.nz

But I saw a rabbit go in there last week

Still looking for that friggen rabbit. Give it up already!

Aura passed away last week.  She was a great mum to her puppies and a caring aunt to all the mini babies born.  Aura was a great companion, the best house dog you could hope for.  She did well as a show dog too.  I hope you've joined up with all your friends in heaven.  

Nearly a champion!

Anna won her 6th challenge certificate today. When she got home she went out I play in the rain and make herself all dirty again! So much for scrubbing her clean Friday night.

There's something living in the pump again!

I'll get it! If the heat doesn't get me first.

Bad Mort

I've just read my sons (devthe deaf) Facebook page and discovered my other son Mort was very naughty at obedience last night. I must go have a little word with him. But really could this face do wrong?

Have ya missed me?

It's been so long since I was allowed on the computer to update my blog. A lot has happened in that time.

1. My babies have all grown up and Dev the Deaf has gone to a wonderful new home. You can catch up on his doings here on Facebook.

2. Mort the menace stayed here with me. I let him get away with everything.

3. My sister Holly has gone away on holly-day. I think it might be permanent as she hasn't bothered to come back. A card would be nice. I did hear though something about a family all of her own. No sharing and lots of walks.

4. I'm getting more attention since Holly went away. This is a good thing and reinforces my Princess status.

and 5. The new leather couch is not longer off limits. Knew it wouldn't last!

Bah humbug!

I do not do Christmas decorations on my head.

Dog show weekend!

Haha, I got to go to a dog show and the others didn't. Just me and my special (that's different to spethial Holly) son Mort. I got to sit around and watch while Mort stormed the ring.

He got best of breed in all three shows but didn't get anything else. Maybe next time.

I wasn't very pleased though when this ugly black labrador charged poor little Mort and bowled him over on Saturday morning. Sue said some very rude words to the owner. I think the owner must be a bit simple because there were signs everywhere to keep your dogs on the lead. And why let an aggressive dog run free? Lucky Aunt Aura wasn't there. That dog would have been mince meat.

Here's me chilling out after the shows.

I'm so poor

All I have for a blanket is a piece of newsprint.

I know he's a big boy

But sometimes he still acts like he's a baby.

Me and my babies

 This is my bone, my reward for helping with the gardening.  Sue said I was as helpful as my mum and my mum says she's always helpful when there is gardening to be done.

 This is the garden that I helped with.  We especially like the green frilly plant.  So does Uncle Chino.  He said it's just at the right height to piddle on.  Bad Uncle!

And here is Dev trying to drink from mum still.  Jolly gosh Dev, you're 10 weeks old.  Far to olf to need mummies teats!  Mum doesn't mind though.  Aunty Aura joined her up as a member of the La Leche League.

Me playing with my puppies.

I think I won, though my legs will never recover those tooth marks

My babies!

Mort and Dev the deaf looking too cute for words.

I spy with my little eyes....

Ugly humans!
