Good boy Toffee :D

I know im being silly but im literally jumping out of my seat writing this im soooo proud of my boy

He has always been very reactive towards the postman , if he knows he is in the street then he gets very excited and runs around , hackles up , whining and growling which sets off my other two ... its just excitement , theres never any aggression
Up til now i've had zero luck getting him to respond to me and ignore the postie ... til today

No lead attached to him & no treats (neithers worked in the past) , its just me and him sitting in front of me , im talking calmly to him , telling him what a good boy he is and though his ears show he is very aware that the postie is around he only made one tiny move to jump around but quickly refocused on me when I said ' ah-ah , watch me '
Even Gypsy barking like a loon didnt unsettle him , and because Toffee wasnt bouncing around Teddy never reacted at all

He got tons of praise and hugs after our gate clanged shut , he couldnt get enough hugs , he kept coming back for more looking all pleased with himself :)

I know tomorrow it might all go back the way it was ... but today was def a step in the right direction

Bye Bye Ty

Well Ty just left here with my Daughter and Grant.
The way he greeted them you'd have thought he already knew them , tons of wags and kisses

In a way im sad to see him go ... but mostly im really pleased he now has his forever home

With his new Family :D

My singing dogs , lol

Just a bit of fun ... not sure how long the links will stay viable for though

A new Home

Tyson has his new home ... with my Daughter , her bf Grant and the kidlets
They have experience of Rottweilers so its a great place for him to be going to (they live in Scotland)
and as a bonus I get to see Ty grow up and mature , YAY
Lucky me gets to keep him until next Monday , thats when they are coming down here to collect him

Hmmm , what are those 4 plotting now I wonder ?

This mornings playtime (BC's & Rottweiler)

Im currently fostering a Rottweiler until a rescue place can be found for him
His name was Tyson , but ive changed it to Sweetie , this dog doesnt have a mean bone in his body and is just so eager to please ... his new name reflects that :D
He's 14 months old , he isnt housetrained , has zero manners and didnt even know the basic commands ... but he's intelligent , in less than a day he's learnt sit , his new name , and we're working on stay
today we're going to do some loose leash training in the garden

After a shaky start with Gypsy (she was aggressive towards him , he was a total laid back doll) things this morning have improved 100%  YAY  :)

Arent we all pretty

Oh Gracious and Mighty Queen Gypsy .. please wont you play with your humble subject

Playtime Video

I wouldnt have thought it was possible ..........

But occasionally I do get a bit of peace and quiet , lol

Playtime with Dottie

A friend brought his gorgeous dog Dottie round today , she's a sweet little thing  :)



Gypsy's Birthday - part 2

I took her out on the field this afternoon , just her , me and the ball launcher.
One of her fave things is running ... her second fave thing is chasing tennis balls. Normally on our walks she has to compete for the ball with Teddy and Toff, so I decided today she got the tennis ball all to herself  :D

She got distracted by some birds here

And finally ... does my bum look big in this pic

Gypsys 2 years old today

You all know how much I totally adore this sweet angel of mine ... so of course I had to make her a Birthday vid

this one is 10 minutes long ... yes , you read that right, 10 minutes , lol

I wanted all my fave pics and vids in it , as it was I couldnt fit them all ... I doubt anyone will sit through it bar me and my OH (and he says im nuts , lol) but I figured id post the link
