Bet Pax can’t fit into one hand any more, probably needs 2 hands to sit in? Is he still play fighting with Bosco . Does Bosco ever win the play fights. You can tell I am very attached to these little boys – I am indeed an idiot!!! POOR BOSCO! Out-numbered two to one. Can’t decide who to support, all three are my current favourites. Would have to be on Bosco’s side on this occasion but isn’t little Paxy brave? Top (tiny) dog. It just shows what a charming little soul Bosco is . I could happily adopt all three. I know Bosco could be re-homed now but I assume the tiny tots still have to wait at least a couple (or four/six weeks) yet before they will be ready for the "off". I imagine whoever (!!! ) adopts any of these little dogs will also have to adopt their foster family Just realised my mistake, they must be 6 weeks old now not 8 weeks. Age is a terrible thing you know!!! Anyway, just wondering how micro-Paxy is doing? The first image of the most recent photos is a beauty. What a handsome boy Bosco is. His foster parents must be very proud of him. Three super puppy-dogs living under your care and what a great job you are doing. Is Paxy (and Parker) 8 weeks old now? Have they grown much? I know they will be as cute as ever, that will never change. Up-date on Nellabi. What has she been up to lately?Slipped her collar when we were at the vets collecting drugs for the old girls. The waiting room was full (as usual) and there was a man sitting with something (a cat I suspect) wrapped in a towel which he was clutching to his chest. When I took my turn at the reception desk I was chatting to the receptionist while waiting for the prescription. Nells was being a pest, pulling on the lead, climbing up the back of my legs, puffing and whining, suddenly the lead when loose, I turned round to see her at the other side of the waiting room standing beside and staring at a ferret in a cage. I shot accross and got her back on her lead and returned to the reception desk having apologised to the ferret person. He was a great deal less than happy. All I can say is thank goodness she didn’t go to the person with ?? cat wrapped up in a towel, I dread to think what the outcome of that would have been! I bought a 50′ cord line so she can run about (safely). We went for a walk after work a couple of days ago. Work is based on what was once a country estate and the estate grounds are a 2 minute drive along the road. It was a beautiful afternoon/evening and we were wandering about, I call her, she comes gets a great and we wander off again. I was thinking that very soon she would be completely free because she is so good. We walked passed a clump of trees and bushes (surrounded by nettles) and she suddenly shot into the nettles and was gone. I was not worried because I had the other end of the new cord line. I stood for a few minutes then called her name, nothing. I tugged gently on the line whilst calling her name. Still nothing. I tugged a bit harded and shouted her name. Absolutely nothing. I couldn’t see through the bushes and there was no pulling on the line. I tied my end to the bushes and ran round (about 40 feet in diameter) and found a way in. I was bent double making my way through, snapping bits of branches off the lower bushes, got to where I thought she was but couldn’t see or hear a thing. Got back out and ran round to where I had tied the line, it was still tied so ‘went in again’. I eventually had to belly crawl like a comando towards where I thought she was. I was dressed in work clothes, e.g black skirt and jacket, white blouse, black tights and shoes!!! I thought I caught a glimpse of her tail but it disappeared. I stretched across as far as I could (couldn’t get any closer) and when her tail re-appeared I grabbed it and started pulling as best I could, she started to come out of the hole she had found and I manged to grab a bit more of her but I couldn’t get any closer and as I was lying flat on my front I couldn’t sit up. Managed to get her harness, she rolled over in an attempt to get back down the hole and I dragged her towards me. Got a proper hold of her and her harness, edged backwards (with my hair getting caught up in all the twigs and branches. Evenually managed to get to my knees (getting stung by the nettles) and of course couldn’t pull the line through because it was tied to the outside bushes! Had to unclip her and crawl out with this wriggling, puffing creature. Got her clipped up again when we ‘reached the other side’. I thought, "I have just had to drag myself through a hedge backwards". Can’t even begin to describe the state we were in. Back to the car. I did laugh when I saw myself. Cleaned my face (with the collar of the white blouse) as best I could then had to go shopping to buy dog food in the pet store and human food in the supermarket. The person at the checkout in the pet store asked where Nellie was (explaining to another customer who was waiting (and looking at the state of me)) that Nells was a great little dog. I explained that she was in disgrace in the car and also explained why I was in such a state. How they laughed. I then went to the supermarket, got some very odd looks but as no-one asked so I didn’t say. They must have wondered though. We (dog training group) did our little stint at a local gala day last Saturday, all went very well and we are off to do something similar next month at a ? fair in Fife. As for the Nells bells getting off a lead on Bush estate, I can answer that very quickly – N E V E R! She is on very good form but Nellabi and rabbit holes, a very big no no.
Just watched Bosco’s film, what a clever little puppy dog he is. I laughed when he zoomed in and grabbed the paper then spat it out when the little Yorkie didn’t show much interest in it. Oh, he is so happy with you and the rest of the pack. What a great start he has with his foster family, it could have been so very different for him but he only knows happiness and kindness. He has got RAF wings under his eyes! Oh, I could be so very stupid about Pax – you know what I mean? How is my favourite micro-monster getting on? Hope you are not eating the flowers in your garden Pax or terrorising the postie, plenty of time for that sort of thing later on. Poor puppy dog. As a spaying procedure is so common I tend to forget that it is still major surgery. She obviously had a very uncomfortable night (as did her foster mum) but hopefull she will be getting back to ‘normal’ today. Please give her a big hug from me and tell her she is a very good dog indeed. Only 9 more days to go to get the stitches out and no doubt lots of lovely treats, good food and special care from your people. Oh, she is not too keen on her Buster collar but better that than removal of her own stitches. Its great that the surgery is over with, just needs a good nights sleep then onwards and upwards. Hopefully she will be happily asleep right now and having the surgery done – its rotten but has to be done then she is totally safe from ever being used as a puppy machine. I know that would never happen, not now that she is under the watchful eyes of DID. Bet she will be over the moon when you go to collect her tonight, please let us know how she gets on. Well, I am just wondering how the paxy puppy is getting along? He is a whole 5 weeks (and a little bit) now, has he grown much in the last week? I really can’t believe how diddy he and his brother are. They might go mad and have a super growth spurt and end up the size of a cat Could still happily steal you and bring you home to join my rabble, its not perfect but miles better than ‘joining the circus’. Happy vibes to you Paxy, be good now.

. Does Bosco ever win the play fights.
