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!

RIP Aura

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!

Just too cute!

My babies are 1 week old today. They are just the cutest little boys alive. They are tiring though and every now and again I leave them for an hour for a snooze by myself. I'm allowed to do that because they have this heat mat under them which keeps them nice and toastie.

In another week the will be on their feet and chasing me and their eyes will be open. Oh no! How will I get some ME time then?

They now have names too.

Mortal Engines Of Sleek

Infernal Devices Of Sleek

Their names come from the Philip Reeve's "mortal engines" series of books.

I have something to tell...

Look! Mt babies were born by C-section at 2 pm yesterday afternoon. Like my own mum I was too posh to push. I'm a little tired and sore so I'll just leave you with this video.

Both are boys. One is a solid brindle with a fetching white line up the centre of his head and a drop of white on his back, and the other is white with a spot of black on one ear. Ziggy is the dad but he's not allowed in here yet.

Now Holly has got off the computer

I can tell my weekend story! OMG we had such fun all weekend, shows, doggy walks, going to the beach and being filmed by TV3! And meeting Ziggy's breeders. Only they pronounce his name Zeeggy.

Anyway, you might be asking yourself why I am standing on this table while a ribbon is held up. I won it! I got intermediate of group at the shows on the weekend!!!!!! Better than Holly and Ziggy did. (Ziggy was too busy trying to impress Nga). We had to take three photos before the stupid human stopped looking at the dog toy I was concentrating on and looked at the camera. I tell you some times its hard. Once the photos are posted on the supashotz website I'll link to them.

Before I had to go back for in show judging on the Sunday we all went to the beach for a walk. Holly's bro Mojo came along as well. Six minis all in one place at one time! That's nearly all that there is in NZ. From left to right: Ch Maris Phallitax of Sleek, MEEE!!!!, Wellywood Lord Of The Ring (Ngarimu), Titan Of Sleek (Mojo), Ch Holly Short Of Sleek, and Ch Kahmins Emerald Swords (Ziggy).

It's been a while.

Well, Farmville should be banned. We can't get near the computer for having to harvest and plow. But finally We get a chance to post an update. Poor Major feels the cold so Sue put a jacket one him. It was so funny. He wasn't too sure about it at first but then he worked out it wasn't going to eat him.

It's been pretty cold so I've taken to sleeping under the blankets on the bed. Here I am crawling out slowly in the morning. Still half asleep.

Major asleep

Me and my big feet, sprawled out on the floor snoozing.
