Not much going on!

We've had a quiet couple off weeks including no training, so am know trying to get back in the swing off it. Gemma has come into season and she is already tarting around the boys and is eating everything i put in front of her (very unusual) so she is obviously preparing to have babies, although i am feeding her CSJ phantom herbs so i have everything crossed that it works so i can get her spayed otherwise its a pain as she has a full on phantom so she'd need to have an injection to stop her cycling to get her spayed!! Otherwise i may aswell cancel her shows for a couple of months lol.
I'm starting doing bits with Jess again as shes going to crufts and actually shes been very good although im already prepared for her to go and say hello to everyone in the ring as she does get abit sidetracked.
Diesel had 10 mins in the paddock yesterday and she seemed to have forgotten how to weave lol so i need to do more work with the weaves but hey she has fun although shes got a team event in a couple off months so we've got to do some work.
I've been reading the Dawn weaver book so poor Stig is having some off her ideas tested out on him for the basics i.e stays, he he. He also needs to start doing some work he's had his fun and hes attending classes with Emma if i can get there in time as my classes roll over into Emmas so Sundays are know a real doggy day lol thats how we like them.
I'm starting to plan our season with which shows to go to an have entered some especially the camping ones i can't wait to get rid off the winter and into the show season!!

Snow!!!


Well we seem to have got the snow woop woop well it was woop woop although nowhere seems to have been cleared so i am stuck at home losing out on alot of money boo! I do love the snow and love having snow days but i also like to get around, Ian managed to get to work today but said that people are being towed up the hill so i know i have made the right decision. People have been panick buying aswell, well apart from us who have ran out of bread and milk already lol. So yesterday was spent playing the snow with our neighbours. We took the dogs for a long walk Stig pulled Becky to the field very excited about his first snow. In the night when it started snowing Diesel wanted to go out and Ian let her and Stig out at about 3.30 in the morning and had a job getting them back in as they where hooning around the garden he he. We took the dogs again yesterday afternoon for another round of snow play and the wind was getting up and it was freezing although the dogs didn't seem to notice. We made some sledges and went round the estate sledging until i got bored of walking back up the hill and Ian put me into a kerb lol.


Poor Stig was rather sick last night which is a first for me and then he coughed up abit of stick so im hoping that was all he has swallowed and its out although he does seem rather quiet this morning and he hasn't eaten, and hes actually asleep which is unusual so i shall keep an eye on him. It was -8 this morning so the doggies had to have there pjamas on for there walk and it also saves Jess getting some of snow stuck to her coat. She gets massive snow balls clumped to her even though i trimmed her so she has less coat hanging down but it still stuck to her so she has to get in the bath after which she hates.
