 Welli is not pleased to be sharing his bed with Bear and Ziggy. He grumbles a lot but generally gets up and lets them have his bed. They do get put in their crates at night so he has some peace.

Ziggy taking after her mum

 Darcy LOVES to dig and Ziggy has clearly inherited that love and is currently excavating the patio ! Let's hope none of them inherit Darcy's swimming 'ability' - she is a truly dreadful swimmer. She stays afloat but only with a lot of splashing and will use anyone nearby to hold her self out of the water. Poor Welli has been submerged by her more than once.


She's really dug quite a big hole here

"Everyone kill Ziggy !" - some rough and tumble 


Ziggy - she and Bear are trying on their new collars for short periods of time


Bear trying to remove her new collar.


Ziggy at the back door waiting to come in - the log is an extra step so they don't jump down every time they go in and out.


Bella having a final test of the milk supply - all gone


Bella contemplating


Playing with Darcy


Bella eyeing up the washing on the line - can she reach it to pull it off ?

Flossy @ 7 weeks






With her new owner Andrea

7 weeks old



Bear - she is the cleverest - she has learnt to come in the catflap, and where the cat food is kept. She is quite independent and will happily play with a ball or bit of rope on her own.


Storm - he loves cardboard boxes ! He is such a sweet boy - very cuddly and always happy to pose for a photo.


Flossy, looking a bit miserable because she wants to escape the pen and go outside.


Hello Mummy !


Ziggy - looking gorgeous as ever ! She will be starting ring craft classes at 11 weeks so she is ready for the summer's shows. Ziggy is a lively character.



Storm and Bear


Storm posing for the camera again - he always makes eye contact when you call him, but he doesn't necessarily jump about - which is why he is easy to capture on 'film'.


Bella is increasingly a very playful puppy - she was the cuddliest, but now she would rather play a game than lie still. She is going to live with a Beagle so will have a good play mate.

This is Ziggy

 And again

 Ruby again


Some of the puppies now have new names : Ruby will be Goya, Gretel will be Hettie, Elsa is Flossy, and Bella will be Roxy. Ziggy, Bear and Storm are keeping their names.
All the puppies are going to their new homes this week - apart from Bear who is staying here with Ziggy until after my brother's holiday at the end of the month.
