Oodles of Poodles

Where to start Spring Fair Dog Show 41 on the Friday last in my class must admit I was shell shocked after winning BOB and my class in group the last 5 weeks in a row however thats showing 39 Saturday was not entered 42 Sunday as it was Anne Ingram Poodle Specialist Judge from the UK along I went won RCC and Puppy in Group but man the heat was something else November was then reported to be the hottest in (wait for it 150 years) funny that made me feel better how stupid is that!!!!!!! Anyway my poor preggie girls made it all the way and went full term with their babies. Priscilla on Thursday 26th November had 1 brown boy and 3 black girls starting at 11am and finishing at 2-30pm then Vogue stated at 7pm and had 3 black girls finishing at 8-30pm a very good outcome and no problems 6 girls can you believe it. Splash had 2 little boys the following Monday and in between the 3 white babies came home talk about oodles of poodles 12 in all good routine going now but lets say THE NURSERY is very busy. No wonder I have not had time to update. All is well.

Hot and very messy

Very hot today high 30`s Pregnant girls are feeling it. Air on for them all day. Yard has been dig up HUGH hole made 6x4x2metres deep for storm water hence all the dirt every where can`t let the dogs out except for a toilet anyway, lunch time who ended up in the hole PRISCILLA so heavy with her 5 babies danger days now as this is the time she lost all 5 last last time. White babies are 6 weeks today looking very nice cute now had their needles today all is well. Showed last Saturday Alex won BOB again and Puppy in Show. Spring Fair 3 day Shows starting next Friday 41 degrees expected on the Friday won`t be going if this is so.

More doggy news

Today was the day had the 3 girls scanned WHAT A SURPRISE Priscilla is carrying 5 same as last time and she did not go the distance they came to early and all died so plenty of rest this time and fingers crossed. Vogue due the same day has 4 she had 3 boys last time and was a excellent mum then Splash due the following week has 2 maybe 3 her 1st litter all are healthy so a very busy time expected in the nursary shortly. Alex has had another 3 Best Toy Dog and won his age class in group each time a VERY GOOD start for him. Jono has been in Melbourne (home tonight) For The Cup think he has less money now than when he started!!!!!!!I am a GREAT RETAIL SHOPPER thats where all my money goes after the dogs. Life is short Has to say was at a shopping centre on Tuesday and the outside temp. registered 45 degrees at 12-45!
What would we do without aircon.

Boy Wonder

Another very interesting week, the outside of my house looks like a warzone! Concretors have been here since Thursday getting ready to do lots, paths, driveway and the areas at the front and out door alfresco. My backyard has been dug up and there is now more dirt than lawn, lots of mess for my dogs to bring inside.

It was a relief to take Player and Alex to a Dog Show yesterday and leave all the mess behind me, at least for a few hours. The show was held in the Southern Highlands, it is beautiful country and it was a truly georgous day. There was no wind and about 20 degrees. Alex had a great day and managed to beat all the other Toy Poodles - he won his age class in group - he turns 8 months old next Thursday so I am extremely pleased and proud of his great wins over the last few weeks.

Myself, Jhett 13, and Tamzen 10, (My grandkids) went to see "Whip It" at the movies on Wednesday and I managed to eat all the right things that day. I had weigh in on the Tuesday and lost 1.9 kilos, then had lunch with a friend and there was no way of undoing it. Have had friends over for lunch today and dread weigh in this week - I will walk to Engadine tomorrow and hope for the best.

The BIG POUR is Tuesday and I can't imagine what that day is going to be like as I have no exit front or back. It will be ok for me, but my 4 legged friends????? All six of them will need to be toileted by carrying them over a plank !!!!!!!!many times I wonder what I will be thinking when I go to bed that night and THAT DAY IS OVER. Stay tuned!!!!!!!!

Alex - Minor in Group

Had an enjoyable day at the show today and it doesn't hurt to have a lovely win to make it even more enjoyable. Alex won Best of Breed and gained another 13 points towards his title. He then went on to get Minor In Group. He looks a little different now that his first photo on my blog; they grow up SO fast!
