happy birthday kelsey

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
just wanted to say a very happy birthday to a very very special dog. kelsey will be 14 tomorrow. she is such a lovely girl and always has been. my first munster and a good intro to the breed. she has brought a lot of fun and love to all our family over the last 14 years and we all love her to bits. she is a bit grey now and her back legs stiffer than they have been but she still likes a run in the field and a bowl of grub. her fave treat these day is diced ox heart raw!!! yucky as anything but the old girl would stand on her back legs to get a bit. we are going ot have a wee party for her tomorrow but no candles as she is now a fire risk. as far as we are aware and i am sure someone will tell me if i am wrong lol she is the last of her litter to still be alive DSCF9883.JPG. happy birthday special girl from all your pals. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Spring was awarded a cup at the 2008 feb open show and I've just found it!  It was packed away shortly after the show and taken to storage and I couldn't remember which box I put it in.  So really happy to have found it today! 

Pretty cold this weekend.  We still have ice on the inside of the windows.  Side effect of no heating and single glazed windows.   :-(

I must say that Chance is looking very proud in the photo so maybe he knows something we dont.

Yep they'll stay that colour its one of the breed characteristics. No I think these 2 will be going to new homes, Minstrel is daft she would just keep feeding them lol.

i dont know which one this but it is such a cute pic i thought it would be a good one to put on.

i love the pic of ace on the seesaw. if you have any other ones of him could you email and i will make a wee mix for erin of him. the one we have of kai and hogan is such a lovely reminder of our boys past and present and all the fun they had at agility so would be nice to have an ace buzz and paws one as this is erin next generation of asbos!!!!! surf too but a bit young yet. i love the ghost test by the way.

Our thoughts are with Cathy and Janet  at this sad time

Mo
It is with great sadness and regret I write this to tell you  Kathy Nickelson lost Devon on Friday to cancer aged 7.  Devon was a fantastic advocate for our breed and a Crufts winner too.
Please, even if you don't know Kathy, drop her a line or a card - won't ease her pain but will show as a breed that we care for our munster pals.  I have her address if you wish to email me or her name can be found in loads of show catalogues.   Wendy

Puppies

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

Carole, yes Chance is the 'expectant' dad. I just wish I had know how much it would have affected him though. Pepsi is having to be shut away when he is loose so that he doesn't 'practice' with her! Poor puppy......and as for the whining.......ear plugs in use, so might not hear the phone....

 

Elise (grand-daughter) is one of those very rare breeds. She is always happy. LOL!!! There weren't any tears at all, even when she fell over. When it's time for sleep you just have to put her in the cot and switch her music on and she is asleep within seconds. Literally...!!!!!! I've never known a child like her.. Her mother was nothing like her. I really wish I'd had one like her. Mine didn't know what sleep was.

Gillie on his very own Sofa..

Hi Wendy,

 Erin provided some tips on the day and showed the beginners some handling techniques.

Gill helped me with Skye after she got a fright on the see saw as had only ever done dog walk up until that point. She flew up the see saw (as if a dog walk) and she was left in mid air! as it tipped.  

Weight loss not guarenteed as all that running around does wonders for the appetite. ;-)

 

Hi Linda,

  Is Chance going to be the dad?  I meant to comment on your grand daughter a few posts back. It doesn't seem that long ago that she was born and she is now a toddler.  eck! 

Where does the time go.

keep fit for humans

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
Carol - well done - what a brilliant idea, fool people into watching the dogs when really it is an assault course for humans.   Do you guarantee weight loss when staying at your health farm ?
Really enjoyed watching video - especially keep fit on the move !!  Glad Erin was there to show you how to do it.

Great day thanks for coming.  It was Springs first time on dog walk.  Everyone chased Ace. Everyone running in wellies in a muddy field which didn't help with running speed. Skye and Spring also very tired and they never moved all night - neither did the humans.

I love this part of the country and so do the dogs. We are lucky to be staying here. Hope you can see the movie as spent most of the afternoon triming and editing.

Carol, I hope everything goes smoothly for you. 8 years on and I still have boxes I need to look through. That's what happens when you have to move within 3 days - no time to go through your things first. I'm having a clearout in my spare room getting ready for January when Seska's pups should be due. First mating took place yesterday so fingers crossed. Chacne hasn't left the side of the cage all day.......

Hi Vicky - I hope you have mentioned to your mum and dad that you have invited half of the Munster Club to stay the night before Crufts.   Hope you and all the family are well.
How big is your drive ? will it fit my little motor home?  Lots of love  W

A bit belated but the boys and girls were all 1 on the 3rd of November. They are fantastic dogs and are a pleasure to live with. So full of character and personality and Carly is an absolute joy to handle in the show ring!

 

Also, I am so glad we do not have to worry about accom. for Crufts - We live in Stafford! So we are lucky!!!!

Great pictures of Skye and Spring - loved the stuffed bird, fancy making the pheasie  swallow a dummy.  I was given a woodcock today for training Ruby, wasn't too keen at first, thought it should have been plucked but on third retrieve picked up nicely.  Wonder if I give her the Christmas turkey she will pluck all its feather off for us !! Well done to all winners at the show.

DSCF0521.jpg Elise is fascinated by the dogs now. When she first arrived she was absolutely terrified and wouldn't leave her mum alone. After a couple of hours (and the cage being set up) she decided they are fun - so much so that Chance isn't getting a minutes peace...  she follows him everywhere.

 

The cage door is actually open but Elise keeps closing it behind her.

Yes here is a photo - the yellow ones have shooting stars on and glow with a reddish orange colour and the green have shamrock designs on and glow with a rich green. They are size medium - 16-22 inches so measure your munster to ensure they will fit.

Keep them safe

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
I hope you dont mind me popping in but I am on a mission to ensure that munsters around the UK are safe this winter.
I am selling PolyBrite light up dog collars at bargain prices to munster owners.
I have a choice of green or yellow and they illuminate 3/4 of the collar with great visibility in dark conditions. Water resistant and easily replaced battery if you wear it out.
I'm asking just £3 each and that includes p&p, it wont make me rich but will make me happy that dogs are seen at night (my last collie died being hit by a car in dark conditions).
Email me at sjames86@gmail.com if any one out there fancies one (or two....)

(Bad) Morning

Morning Folks,

Thanks for the well done's. I was pleased with the way Elvis behaved & I did think he was looking nice. I think the photo was taken on our walk on Saturday but we went out a run after the show too & he ended up all covered in Burrs just in time for me taking him back to Billy!!! Oooops!!!LOL ;-)

Elvis settled into my wee flat really well - he wasn't at all stressed or worried about not having a garden to run in & out of. I just made sure & took him out for a "comfort break" every so often. No Problem at all.

Carol, they did a great job with your fencing. I am really looking forward to coming down & seeing the place but obviously not until the girls are finished their seasons. Elvis "Loves" Skye enough as it is without the added temptation of girly smells!!!LOL

Linda, I can totally relate to "Squirral" syndrome. The amount of junk I had to throw away before moving was amazing. I couldn't believe how much stuff I had collected in just 3 years. It feels good to get rid though and start a fresh.

Mo & I are going to take Gillie & Potty to their 1st puppy party tonight - we will report on how it ges tomorrow!!!

Pam

Confused..

Hi Mo,  Your humour has just flew past me. Haven't got your joke about remote control  (is it the red spot (button) on the photo.

Well done Elvis. Have you had a sleep over in Pams new flat?

Fence extended by a local fencer.  To much to do elsewhere otherwise we would have done ourselves.

Hopefully see you guys this weekend where we can make arrangements for a fun day.

I won't be at any shows for some time now, the crates are about to come out again!

 

Jenni is supposed to be coming down this weekend and I've been clearing out the spare bedroom for her. It's amazing just how much junk I've been squirrelling away in there! If you don't hear from me again send a search party..............lol!

 

Carole, how long did it take to put up that fence?!?!?! It looks like the dogs will really enjoy living there.
