My xmas card this year

Normally I would use a christmassy pic of all three dogs , but as I didnt have one and the deckies werent down from the attic in time for me to take one I used one of my favourite snow pics of Gypsy.

I think they came out rather sweet , though I am aware that im biased , lol

Trees , Trolls and Cutiepies

Just thought id show off my tree , nothing spectacular but I like it

And my tree topper is a little yellow haired troll that is over 20 years old and has been brought out for the tree every year since my Daughter was 8 and wanted him up there , lol

And just cos they are the cutest tree adornments ever (even though they arent actually on the tree :D )

Happy Birthday Gypsy

I dont know how it happened but my little baby was 4 years old on Friday ... 4 , eek , where did the time go

Anyway she had a lovely day , lots of walkies and some one-on-one time with me , and for tea her and the boys had fresh cooked chicken with veg and rice (well whats a Birthday without a special Birthday tea , lol)

I love you more than words can say angel 

I've just been sitting here for the last 15 minutes watching Teddy sleep.
He's such a sweet , gentle dog , always willing to do whatever is asked of him and all he asks in return is to play catch with his ball

Gypsy is asleep next to him on their sofa (yes they have their own sofa , lol) again she's such a gentle soul , always ready to play , or go for a walk or just snuggle in quietly against me if im not in the mood to run around playing with her

And Toffee , he's downstairs with Steve , his God .... he is probably asleep as well. He is also a gentle dog , loves his cuddles and is sooo devoted to Steve its just the sweetest thing to watch him light up when he see's Steve coming through the gate

I just love these dogs of mine so much and feel so very blessed to have them in my life

Gypsy's new collar came today

Diva is as Diva does ... so my little madam certainly deserves this collar , lol


I sometimes wish my dogs werent so fluffy , then they could show off their lovely collars properly.

Nah ... fluffy dogs are the best :D

My Sims 3 Dogs

I've been a bit depressed lately , so my new Sims 3 pets game has really helped take me away from it , but allowed me to keep my dogs around , lol

I was so pleased with my sims 3 dogs last night , they saw off a burglar , well Toffee and Gypsy did , Teddy was swimming in the pool , thats where he spends 90% of his time , lol

By the way , dont worry about the three Amigo's ... they are far from being neglected in real life while I play games :D

Heres my house (I wish)

Teddy's new collar came today

I love it , its very , very soft and looks gorgeous on him

This tag was attached when it came ... its the logo of the person's store I bought it from , but im leaving it on the collar cos he kinda is a funky mutt , lol

The Unknown Canine

Took Toffee to the vets today for his booster jab , and while there asked when Gypsy's was due .... 

Our vets have changed their computer system recently , and both Teddy and Toffee's details are there , but no Gypsy 

All her details are there registered under my name but she is down as an Unknown Canine 

I think she's now very depressed that her Delightful Diva status has been ignored 

Poor baby , its such a harsh world when you realise what you think you are isnt what others see you as

You must get fed up ...

You must get fed up of me posting pics of the dogs playing on the field ... but its such a fantastic place for them to stretch their legs safely and just have fun 

so heres some pics from todays tea-time walk on the field :D

Does anyone remember 'spot the ball' ... my Dad used to play that every week , I dunno if he ever won though

Toffee stalking a bird that foolishly landed not far from him

If I lie flat enough no-one will see me says Teddy

I can see right up your nose

And hands down , my favourite photo of the day , I want to get this blown-up and framed

Toffee has been tattooed

Or rather his nice new collar has :D

A bit hard to actually see on my hairy lad , but trust me , he looks gorgeous in it

Life , Love , Luck

Gypsy modelling her new harness

I didnt really have time to take any decent pics today cos its been raining like mad and I didnt want to risk the camera getting wet , but I managed to get these two of her in her new Julius K9 harness .... of course I had to get her the Diva logo to go with it , lol

A message to my dogs

I know its raining outside so im keeping you indoors and not letting you play in the garden inbetween walks and that makes me evil 

I dont mind , being your Mum means I sometimes appear evil when I dont always let you do what you want

I also know you have tons of excess energy , and I dont mind that the three of you are zooming around the house without a care in the world , but I do lament the loss of my fave coffee mug after you crashed into me making me drop it (its lucky there wasnt any hot coffee in it)

I also mind going into my bedroom and seeing a bed that was nicely made up this morning , now has the duvet and sheet spread all over the floor covered in dog hair , and even the mattress is making an escape for the door and has fur on it

And then going into the kids bedroom (Its still their room for when they visit) and finding the same thing has happened in there

You win ... ive tidied up , remade the beds & closed the bedroom doors ... Go get wet in the garden , I can handle muddy paw marks and water splashes on the walls far better than being terrorised by three bored border collies

Walkies with their Dad

Steve took the dogs out earlier , heres a few of my fave pics that he took and a short vid of poor Toffee trying to keep hold of his fave toy , lol

Toffee

 Gypsy

Teddy big-ears :D

I do love this lad

The prettiest girl 

 Its Mine

 Lmao at Teddy's face (click the pic to enlarge it)

 Whats that behind you ?

Indoor Bubblefest

What can you do when its raining and you have bored dogs ... easy , you have an indoor bubblefest :D

Teddy just wasnt interested in the bubbles

 Still not interested , lol

I did seem to focus more on Gypsy ... but thats because it was the first time she showed any real interest in the bubbles :)

What do you mean theres no more bubbles *sobs*

One thing I forgot about mentioning .... indoor bubblefests may be great fun for the dogs and for you to watch , but afterwards they had fun watching me wiping bubble marks off the walls *grumbles*

By the way , incase anyone is interested I use watered down Johnsons baby shampoo , the dogs dont seem to mind and they smell lovely afterwards , lol
