Hoochi looks like a poodle!

Hoochi Before - looking worried!

Hoochi After - what a smile!

Peps comes to the Dog Groomers!

Wow i never thought that a labrador would need to visit the groomers! I took Peps into college today and she had a fab day...everyone couldnt believe that she was only 9yrs especially as there was another lab in that was 10yrs who looked years older! Peps had all the grooming that a dog would want including a lovely bath...massage...and finishing with going home smelling lovely!! the other dogs actually sniffed her when i took her back to the car! ha ha lol next its Hoochi turn on Sat!!

I have also 2 visitors staying the night whilst there mum goes on a booze cruise to France! One is a Otterhound and the other an Irish Terrier both on the endangered list!

Update

Cola's eye is healing well...touch wood no more problems to date! phew...im continueing with the eye drops for another month (havnt told Cola that yet!) lol

Pup is growing fast...still very cute...naming her has been a nightmare and to date she is called 'Pheobie'! we took her to the garden centre last week and she fell asleep whilst we were have a coffee! sooo sweet...she has also been to Pets at home...and is very much getting into the habit of being carried!! she definately knows the person who feeds her and as soon as mum goes upstairs to the kitchen there Pheobie is waiting for her dinner! no matter what time of day it is...definately food orientated!

Hoochi's hair is growing...i have been banned from cutting it by my friends...and its been very hard...so now each day his coat is being brushed! much to Hoochis dislike! hence why i clip him...

Peps is Peps...nothing much changes apart from she gets older! will have to take her back to the vets soon as she is still fusing about her anal glands!! ahhhhh

North Downs Show

Hoochi last show of the year...North Downs...havnt done this show before but as it was only 15mins from home it was worth having a go!! i went to see how our contacts were coming on and i realised most of the issues we have are due to my handling!! what a surprise...we ran in the 4-7 agility first and it was a lovely flowing course (hoochi still being G4) hoochi was barking in the queue so i knew he was up for it..and he went like a rocket and went clear in 33 secs! my friends were surprised that yes i could actually run when i needed too! He ended up in 6th place which i was over the moon about as we had finally broken the elimination curse and all dogs above us were Grade 7!

Next was the G4/5 Jumping...we ran first very fast course with only 6 weaves (much prefer 12 weaves) and he went clear but again i knew that it was a course that suited a really fast dog...Hooch ended up 2nd!! soo pleased as again he is only G4 and it gives me confidence and hope for him next year...wooohooo go Hoochi go! all he wanted was his cheese when he finishes! ha ha

Dog grooming course

BEFORE

AFTER

As you can see i hope i am improving in my hairstyling skills!! Here is a before and after piccie of a georgous rescue x breed that i groomed this week

Even Hoochi has put his coat on!!

This brill coat is from Equafleece... www.equafleece.co.uk
Its a bit big but Hoochi is a funny size and the one below this is just an inch too small!! he does love it though...must remember not to clip him for a couple of months!

New Puppy!

This is my parents new cocker spaniel pup! ha had u worried if i had got another woof!! lol...isnt she georgous...she's called 'Sandy' at the mo!! not sure if she suits this name or not...but as u can see she knows who 'mummy' is as she was sitting on my knee but got off to go and sit on my mums feet!! she is sooo cute and loves cuddles already...she had a 3hr trip home yesterday and only managed to throw up once!!


This is a photo from my mobile! as u can see Sandy has worked out to fall asleep outside the crate then she doesnt have to get shut away! lol

Update

Cola eye responded brill to medication...so out of the woods for now..she is off to see opthomolagist next week...thanks everyone for asking about Cola x

Cola eye!

Well i wonder if this is going to b a recurring problem but Cola woke up on Tues with her bad eye shut!! rang the vets and of course our opthamologist is on hols this week so i took her to my vets who said she had iritis! its inflammation of the iris...so her eyeball now is fully dilated and she definately could have gone out for halloween as she looks soo wierd...she is back to vets tomorrow and meant to see our specialist on Mon but with her not being insured when this started i am reluctant to have another 100 pound bill as its already cost over 300 quid...fingers crossed its a one off but if not it could b a decision for removal as that may b the final outcome anyway...lets see what the vet says!!
