A Summer Weekend!!

SATURDAY - Well it was more like an Autumn weekend weather wise but the Dog Show still went on!  It was bitterly cold with a howling wind and heavy cloud and the odd drop of rain.  We were in a field so I think you can imagine the scene.  Here is Ziva and myself chatting to the judge! this was for the cutest puppy under 25 weeks!

We were pleased Ziva came 3rd

Not placed in the 'prettiest bitch' category!  that was all too much for Ziva and said wake me up when its all over!

However after a short nap came the 'prettiest eyes' and guess what we came in 2nd so
we decided to eat the 3rd place 2nd was so much better x

SUNDAY another glorious late June day saw us off to the beach once more after all if you can't go to the beach in June and expect it to be good when can you!!

It looks pleasant enough until that wave got just a little too close

It was freezing, still howling a gale no rain, but the sea surf was wet, the water was wild it certainly was no Summers Day.

This is just me looking pretty 4 months old now, and perhaps the world is not too bad.

And after it all, and more food I shall sleep across the water bowl so I shall stay cool, and those two Cocker Spaniels can not have any of the water!

ALL KINDS OF EVERYTHING!

A bit of everything here this time, firstly Ziva, now 15 weeks old.  Had our second week at Dog training.  Such fun and well worth going along too.  Lots of lead work this week and reinforcing the sit down sit up and stand.  Once again after the three quarters of an hour most of the puppies, including Ziva, were so tired she once again slept through until the late afternoon.
She has been helping with our new garden room that is growing on the back of our house.  'Its taking a long time' she says 'but it will be just right for me when its finished'!!    Huh!! that's what she thinks!

Still not too big for cuddles!! but more than an armful now!

Enjoying her walks - everything is all new and wonderful! 

On Sunday it was Burton Armed Forces Day - Paul and I sneaked away on the bike for a few hours to join in with their parade.  The pipes were amazing as the parade marched.  What a huge chap he was.

 Hubby Paul and Damo enjoying the moment!

 Some tranquillity in my garden when everyone is asleep!  a very late Azelea

 and my Peony which has finally flowered this year! must be the wet and the cold!

1st morning at doggie school!

It was Training Classes for Zeva this morning!
There were 4 other puppies there, ranging in age from 10 weeks to the 6 months, a delightful little CockerPoo, no bigger than Ziva's head! a Labrador, a terrier and I am not sure what the last little pup was! I shall have to investigate further next week!

It was very good fun and WE did both learn a lot, something well worth taking puppies along too.
We learnt to sit, down, sit up and stand - stood still for a vet check and a recall down the hall. 

Ziva is still asleep from her 1 hour out this morning! Roll on next Wednesday!

You must think that all she does is sleep! after all these sleepy pics - I can assure you when she is awake she does not stand still long enough for the camera to capture her!

Its now nearly 16.00  4pm and she is still asleep!  Shame we can not do that every day!
I have even changed the bed today and tidied the house and played in the garden as well as list a Teddy Bear for adoption on my website!
