My perfect Gypsy

Pics and a Vid - just a normal day

The dogs have taken over my nice tidy clean room , as predicted , lol
anyway , heres a few pics I took today and a video of Gypsy's latest little foible , rounding up her food before eating it , lol

Being good (Arent they always when there is a treat around , lol)














Taking over the sofa














Not Toff though , he prefers his nice new bed














Or does he ...........














Gypsy is a strange girl , lmao
First she took a dislike to her stainless steel bowl and wouldnt eat from that , so we got her a nice new china bowl , which she ate from for all of four days , now we just tip the food on the floor for her , but she's started 'herding' the food into a nice neat pile before eating it , which always makes me laugh :D

Another great walk with Gypsy

Just had another excellent one-on-one training session with Gypsy

She was offlead and there were three other dogs on the field with us , (a JRT , A miniature Schnauzer and a little white bitsa) the Schnauzer was going mental yapping at Gypsy , but apart from looking at the other dog Gypsy did as she was told and stayed where she was

she's such a star

Can I brag a little

Im sooo proud of Gypsy today

We had one of our one-on-one walks this morning , I put her in her new harness and used a short lead .... I dont know whether it was the new harness or whether it was because the lead was clipped onto her back and not the collar but she didnt pull at all , which was amazing :)

But she really topped that when we got to the field
There were already two other strange dogs there , I made the decision to try and work her with no lead on anyway
she was aware they were there , but her focus never wavered from me for one second , for an hour she just did everything I asked
It was possibly the best time just me and her have ever had

How brilliant is my babygirl :D

Yay , all of them like their new Harnesses

They were much more relaxed today , I left them on while they played in the garden and walked them around the street a bit , kept giving lots of praise and treats and I think all three are happy wearing them now

Dogs pressies have arrived (superfast delivery huh)

Surprisingly its Toffee who minds wearing his harness the least (I would have sworn it would be Teddy who wouldnt care) , so I grabbed a quick piccie of him ... and one of him wearing his new collar too
He really doesnt mind the Harness , but as he hates the camera he isnt looking very happy (he got lots of loves and a treat though so dont feel too sorry for him , lol)

I'll grab some pics of the other two in their new gear once they are happier wearing it :)

More pressies

I decided the dogs needed nice new collars to match their nice new Harnesses , so went back and bought them matching collars

Pressies for the doglets

I've bought each dog a nice new Ezydog Harness , but im not sure how well received they will be (they arent here yet , I just ordered them online)

Teddy I dont think will care much as long as he gets his walks ... but Toff and Gypsy arent keen on being 'dressed up' ... so it will take lots of treats and careful introduction at a slow pace to get them used to theirs

Gypsys Harness


















Toffee's Harness


















Teddy's Harness


Rain soaked fun on the field

After all the snow and rain the fields are basically water with a bit of grass underneath ... My three , of course , love every second of being out there





































































































Poor cold wet girlie
