Well its been a while since I last posted, we have been a little busy trying to plan Christmas presents amongst other things, with 5 children we have a bit of a hectic time coming up to it.
Ghia arrived safely from France and has settled in wonderfully, no problems at all. She is very much like Gaby in her ways, I now have 2 Laekenois on my bed, not quite sure how that happened?
Looking through Paul's phone to see what pictures he had taken, i came across a little video that my daughter Jordan had made, not sure what planet she was on but at least you can see how Ghia has settled in.



On Sunday 9th Nov I was at Discover dogs with Leon and Flame, Pat came along with Barney. We had never done this before so it was a bit of an experience. The dogs were all brilliant and loved all the attention. I had planned to take some pictures of the event but the time seemed to go so quickly before we new it the day had gone. At least we got a free royal canin rug out of it. Ghia has took a shine to it and will not move off it.





On Tuesday we went to see Mary Ray give a demonstration on clicker training. I had seen her before but was so impressed I thought I would treat Paul and Callum to a night out, they both thought they would be bored rotten but were very pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed themselves, needless to say I ended up coming home with a bagful of clicker training devices.

I think Callum was a bit star struck

Here is a small piece of Mary Ray giving her demonstration

Snow in October





Wednesday saw snow in October, much to the kids delight, unfortunately it didn't stick, but who knows we may get a white Christmas at this rate.





Some very sad news tonight when my old german shepherd, Rosie passed away due to old age, she would have been 13 in march.


A very strange thing happened later, i had put rosie in the back room until we can bury her tomorrow, one of the other dogs who was close by started barking and cowering up the corner, even though she had been lying there all night, when i looked at the clock it was 12 midnight, 31st october, Halloween.



Makes you wonder!
