Hello Everyone!
Sorry if we fell of the face of the planet, we have been busy busy busy as usual. Mum just hasn't been able to update this blog. Has anyone seen Cumbria in the news lately? We have had an unseasonal amount of snow, which piled into huge snow drifts, which caused loads of problems on the roads and up the fells. It was very windy and oh so cold. So very very cold. Well for Mum anyway, us doggies we just love the snow. It is great to play in, or in our case made-to-pose-for-photos-in.We had never seen snow as deep as this, for England it is a lot. So naturally we enjoyed every second of it! Funnily enough, when the snows around we go all deaf on Mum, not matter how loud she shouts us, we always just have to have one more run or roll in the snow before we go back to her, weird huh?
Baird is now 18 weeks old and 35kg/77lbs, as you can see from some of the photos, he still intermittently has the 10ft training leash on still. Mum says it could be called an unorthodox method of training Baird,but it lets him run free, with the lead giving Mum peace on mind. His recall is almost there, but not 100%, he doesn't run away but follows us around. he stays with 'the pack' but he hasn't learnt that not every doggy is as friendly as us. He will get there though-I hope, hehe. Baird is now much bigger than Daisy Boo and slightly taller than Dante, Mum says that it is easy to forget that he is still a puppy-just a really big one!
Dante was enouraged not to run like a loon in the snow drifts, Mum didn't want to add the extra stress to his legs- but that doesn't mean he didn't try. He felt the cold from the walks when he got back home, so he got some extra TLC and pick of the best spot on Mums memory foam mattress, hehe.
Last year in March we had a heat wave of epic proportions, so hot everyone was in their summer gear-now there is snow everywhere, we sure hope Spring decides to show up soon. Oh and a big Happy Easter to everyone!
