Lovely picture of Troy and Diva and Logi on the beech. That sea looks so refreshing - I'm so jealous!

Darcy and Tolly's babies look lovely too - hope we will get to see more pictures of them as they grown.

Maggie and Elsa are both well at the moment both recovered from their injuries and upset tummies thank goodness. Elsa lost quite a bit of weight though and am trying to get her back up again. I'm having a problem with deer at the moment though as there are so many around, think it's cos everything is so over grown at the moment they are coming out of the woods to graze.

Oh we do like to beside the seaside!!

Logi went so far out he was nearer the boat than me!! Photo courtesy of a zoom lens, did worry me, but came when whistled! Diva got in on the action too!

So did James, it was glorious so warm, it as 0730am and just perfect down on the beach.

Swimming in tandem.

Powering through the water.

Here they come!

Gorgeous picutures of Troy Pauline.

Hi everyone glad to hear Deedee is felling better arnt they a worry when they are ill. The new puppies are gorgeous very tempted but not very practical. Just a few pictures of Troy taken by Norman a couple of days ago,Troy was playing hide and seek with a rabbit. Troy did find a puddle to cool down in dont know what happened to the rabbit.

Trumorlunde puppies

Tolly and Darcy's gorgeous babies. Aren't they beautiful, already picked out one that I would have!!! Looking forward to seeing them grow, so pretty and very chunky. Tolly is being a wonderful Mum and doesn't she look so happy and content with her brood. Bless makes me broody!

Congratulations Tolly and Darcy, look forward to puppy pics!!

The Barker Family out on a picnic and enjoying the lovely summer weather.

Apologies for not logging on sooner, it's great to read everyone's news and seeing all the lovely pics and videos.

Chumleigh is growing fast and loving running around, playing hide and seek and of course being cuddled!! We have joined a local puppy training class and chumleigh is loving being with all the other puppies (She is the biggest and most playful by far!!!!) She is picking up the training really well and is also learning a few new tricks which is fun for both of us!

Well love to all.

Alex, Rob and Chumleigh xox

Trumorlund x Blitzan Babies!!!!

4 bitch's and 5 Dogs, 9 gorgeous black and white babies. Tolly did very well and has taken to Motherhood perfectly.

Darcy is a very proud Daddy!!

Ans Happy Birthday to Lindsey Tolly's owner. Tolly had the puppies on Lindsey's birthday - what a special present!!!

Can't wait to see pictures now!

Glad you enjoyed the FTA Sharon, we went a few years ago now and really enjoyed it, but with Dave's work commitments it is really hard to do the couple of overnight stops at the moment.
I would love to have another go at it in the future though, perhaps when Dave isn't working away from home as much, we could go for a long weekend, as you say great to watch the dogs do what comes naturally, and a nice friendly relaxing atmosphere.

Dee Dee is much improved today, I was a bit worried about her earlier in the week as I didn't think she was making as much progress as she should have done, but this morning she seems a whole lot better, either the rest or the Metacam has kicked in and she seems very much improved.
Thanks everyone for thinking of her, lovely to have a bit of support when we are worried about our much loved dogs.
This morning I had to physically restrain her from having a wrestling match with Narla, they seem to really enjoy rolling about, and I am practically frantic in case she injures herself again, and they look at you as if what's up mum we are only playing !!!!

How is Elsa now Karen ? hope she is also felling much better now.

Thanks for posting the photos you took Elspeth. Both boys are now shattered! It was good to see you and Ceilidh again. I liked how, when we first met, she ran over and stood at the back of my closed car in anticipation of meeting Brodie.
I hope Dee Dee and Elsa are both improving.
We were at the LMC Nat App at the weekend with both boys. We had a great time. I'd certainly recommend to anyone to try one out if you get the opportunity. No competition, just a relaxing day, letting the dogs try out their abilities at hunting, swimming and tracking.

Had a lovely walk along the beach this morning. Apologies of the poor photo quality but it was my phone they were taken on and it was quite sunny too. Ceilidh is now out for the count but not for long, headed up the glens shortly so she will be one well exercised girl today! Lovely to see you Sharon, the boys are looking lovely.
Good to hear Elsa was brighter Karen, fingers crossed she keeps improving!

I love the photo of Bree Ali jumping up in the grass (bottom photo). Our field is so long now it's almost impossible to walk through. The chap that cuts it was going to do it this week but now can't do it until next week which is a shame because the weather is perfect for hay making this week - hope it is here to stay. I love the smell too once it is cut.

Elsa is looking brighter today - not quite back to normal but looks more comfortable and am hoping it will continue, the x rays didn't show much, still waiting on blood test results but I have a feeling they will all come back normal because I'm convinced she had eaten something. Got a huge vets bill because Elsa decided to be ill in out of hours mostly)lol + xrays and blood tests and it's times like this I'm glad I'm insured, going to pop down there in a minute with my claim form.

Glad Dee Dee is showing improvement and hope you can let her off lead soon. I know exactly what you mean by trying to keep them quiet.

Sarah, Elsa won't go out of her depth - I haven't seen her swim properly yet. Maggie on the other hand is a great swimmer. Elsa had a bit of a fright when she was younger plunging into a reservoir after Maggie and frightening herself, since then she has stayed at the edge and barked at Maggie to come out. I'm not too worried - I guess she will in her own time.

Poor Dee Dee, it is so frustrating when it's lead exercise only, bless her I hope she heals very quickly.

Judith your pictures are wonderful, so sweet, and what a lovely view to have from your office!!

I wish you all lived nearer we could have a Munster hay party, the dogs could run and owners could help stack the hay!!!! What fun, if only!!

Sarah. Elva's Daddy Darcy is a bird dog, he spends all his time when out on the hunt for birds in the sky too!!! He loves chasing swallows. Your two look so well, such a happy pair. Funny what passing down through the genes isn't it! Like the nosiy yawning from Diva, all her kids copy that one!!!

Seagulls

Lovely pics of the dogs in the hay Ali. Get well soon Elsa.

Judith we have sight of about six seagull nests - if not more - from our house as we are on the side of a hill and look down on the chimney pots. One pair have built their nest on top of the anti gull spikes that have been placed on the pot. They're busy with three babies a little precariously! Fascinating to watch if rather noisy rather a lot of the time.

Jed and Elva cooling off

This is Jed and Elva in the pond cooling off. Although Jed can swim, he has to in the hydro therapy pool, he won't go out of his depth in the pond or the brook at the bottom of the garden. Elva slipped down the bank into the pond a few weeks ago and I was getting ready to grab her when she swam off like a fish, a natural!

They are so different aren't they, Jed wants to chase all the rabbits he can see and Elva is fixated with birds, swallows, wag tails crows she'll chase the lot!

View from my office

This is the view from my office window. On Weds she had 2 chicks, so not sure where the other one went. It is the first time in 3 years that i have seen her babies.

Can almost smell the hay Ali, when I had horses, their was nothing like that smell when you opened a bale of fresh new hay !!!

Dee Dee is a bit better today, and putting a bit more weight on her paw, the vet has put her on Metacalm and we have to go back on Wednesday if she is not sound by then.
She is not very happy about lead walks only, and trying to stop her and Narla charging around and playing is a nightmare !!! All you can hear is Stop !! Wait ! Stay !!! As I desperately try to keep her calm.
Sorry to hear that Elsa is now not well Karen, any news on her yet ? They don't half know how to worry us these dogs. Hope she is also on the mend soon.

Time to make the hay!

Think it's time to cut the grass for hay!!!! We lost Bree and Zeta in the long grass today! Should get a good few bales from it though. Not the best in focus pictures, hard to pick out Bree and focus on her and not the grass when she is jumping around quite as fast as she did! It's the only way she can see anything, she had lots of fun chasing the butterflies! All the dogs are worn out now, it's so humid here, wouldn't be surprised if it thunders very soon.

Logi say's thank you for his Father's day wishes x x x x

Welldone everyone at Border Union. Sandra how is Dee now? And Karen, good to hear maggie is better but worrying about Elsa, hope she improves soon! Keep us posted!
Another stunning day here today, actually proving to be too hot outside for the dogs so they are in the kitchen cooling down on the tiles with a little icecream as a treat :) bit naughty but they do love it. Great pictures Ali, I especially love the one with logi and Bree, just lovely! Tetra is a monkey steeling the tripe sticks, bet she was proud as punch though!

Maggie is all better thanks Sandra. She is bounding around again off lead and completely sound thank goodness. Elsa though is poorly. Not sure what is wrong, but suspect a partial blockage in her gut. She has probably eaten something she shouldn't have as I'm always taking things away from her. Bit confusing though as she has had no sickness or diarrhoea. Just slightly high temperature and trembling - obviously in pain. This has been going on and off since Thursday so this morning they have taken her in to x-ray and do blood tests and I will hear more later today. The house seems so empty without her it's incredible, she is a big personality and greatly missed, Maggie too is lost without her. Looking forward to picking her up later and hope all is resolved.

Judith, glad you had a good time at the concert, great pictures.

Border Union

Just to say Congratulations to all those placed at Border Union today, and hope all those who attended the FTA on Saturday enjoyed the day.
There is a misprint of the results on Fosse Data, showing Dee Dee in third place in puppy !!!
We weren't at the show today as Dee sustained a bad sprain injury on Friday !!!! So we stayed at home and had lots of cuddles.

How is Maggie now Karen is she over her injury ??? Honestly these dogs, 90 miles an hour and don't know when to stop !!!

Judith you seemed to have a very exciting time at the concert and what a stroke of luck to be in the right place at the right time.
All the recent photos have been lovely, and the Blitzan Mud Bathers seemed to be enjoying them selves.
Dee Dee sends best wishes on Fathers Day to daddy Logi, hope all the other dads have had lots of nice presents and been spoilt today.

Eye candy

Went to Bon jovi at the O2 last night, lost count of the number of times i have seen them, but they never fail to deliver. Brilliant.

Tony wanted to go and have a look at the river(dam fishing again), when we got down to the ferry point acouple of cars pulled up. Tony said i think someone is coming in by boat, well i just laughed. The security guard looked up and said no they'll be here in minute and then there they were!!!!!!

Concert one of the best we have been to and i was worried about the seats but turned out to be just fab, 3 rows back from the stage. Just afew picture, i have got about 300, so be warned if you dont put up pics of munsters i may just have to put them all up!!!!

Food & Hot eye candy

Will put up some pics in a minute, just need to feed dogs before football on, Still on cloud 9 from the seats and will never never ever moan when Tony wants to go and look at a river again.

Mud, Sun and Fun!

On point - that's my boy. Baby Bree - looking tiny here probably the amount of mud she is wearing!!!!

It's all just too much for Cosmo who just gives in and nods off!!

Tetra found a pack of Tripe on her way out the door, she didn't let go of it for the whole of the walk, in fact she took it into the water trough with her and bought home a pack stinking and full of water and soggy Tripe!! Yummy!!!

We had a spectator in the woods - Spot the bird!

Flying Tetra all 4 off the ground!!!

Wallowing Grampy! What a way to cool off!

Such a beautiful girlie.

Mum and son cooling off.

Pointing Tetra. She is coming on so well in her training, such a little star.

Bree loves her Grampy Logi.

Lovely day here, not so hot today so more fun for the family!!! Didn't stop, Logi, Bree and Zeta wallowing in the muddiest patch in the woods. All crashed now whilst I get back to work.

Some smashing pictures of Ceilidh, Elspeth, she has grown up into a lovely young lady hasn't she, I can see Ceilidh in Tetra, both beautiful. Ill looks smashing too and what fun she was having in the pool, thanks for posting the video, I have been so busy lately I am very grateful to you guys for keeping things ticking over. Loudon your girls look well too.

Sarah, it was lovely to speak to you earlier, hope to meet up soon.

Looking forward to seeing your photo's Judith!!!! ;-)

Must dash but will have another catch up over the weekend.
