Yes I think Ilka is maturing and starting to look less puppy.
There's a family dog show on Sunday (pony club show with family dog show) that's not to far, Stoodleigh I think so we should be going.
Ilka used to be a bit travel sick and still slobbers a bit in the car but not half as much as she used to, when we went on hols to Eastbourne we gave her Serene-UM (not sure it did much but might have helped slightly) and did not give her much food before we set off anywhere and we were in the car quite a bit at Eastbourne so she just got used to it, probably not much help but hope Prima gets over it some how.
Glad you had a nice day Karen, it's also my Aunts 60th this week, would say what my parents are both going to be at the end of the year but might get in trouble.
Ilka has now got used having our great uncle around all the time (he's helping finish the house)
And been using a tennis ball thrower with Ilka and Sid for quite a while and Ilka now brings it to hand better than Sid who just wants to play 'I've got the tennis ball Ilka, do you want it' then growling (playfully) and not letting her have it, though she normally does get it or they both bring it back together which is quite funny to watch.
Think thats all for now and Ilkas still not yet in season.
