Hounds of the Highlands - Maja's 1st Birthday!! - 20th Dec 2015

Last Sunday Maja and I attended the ring craft Supermatch and Christmas party.  We were out in the first round of the supermatch - she hasn't yet mastered the art of standing still for long enough but she did try to give the judge a few bribery! kisses which, though causing many smiles didn't alter the result!  We participated in many of the games which she seemed to enjoy!  She is so easy going and is always complimented on her friendly, though sometimes naughty, behaviour. 

Big dogs are not normally allowed on chairs in our house but Maja decided she was exceptionally tired after the party so decided to breaks the rules!!

During the week she has been helping me to write the Christmas cards!!

  And today it is her birthday! - and we wish all her siblings a Very Happy Birthday!  Here she is in a Birthday pose with all her mates!

 

Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy New Year!!

Hounds of the Highlands - December 13th

Sorry for lack of 'blogging' - busy time of year, weather been awful and not good for photography etc etc.  Maja continues to amuse and keep us smiling.  Her latest achievement is that she gained her KC Good Citizen Silver award last week.  Its onward and upward to Gold now!

Today we are off to Ringcraft Club's Supermatch and Christmas Party - that should be fun!!

Not much else to report - Kobe has had a bit of a rough few weeks - broke a back toe so was on the lead for a few weeks.  Had just started to let him off a bit when he managed to get a stick injury running in the woods.  Not very nice, quite a few stitches etc but has healed amazingly well.  The vets all loved him and thought him a proper gentleman!  Amazing what a pot of sausages can do or even a block of cheese!! ? We were on our way to the vets to get his stitches out when I realised we had forgotten the sausages so popped into the village shop en route and grabbed a block of cheese.  His face was priceless in the vets when he realised he may be getting a whole block of cheese and not the usual sliver!  Needless to say he never even noticed the stitches being removed.  Quite a difference from the young dog who was reluctant to have even his paws touched.

Hamish well and still mouse hunting when weather permits.

Apologies for the photos - will try better for next blog!
