Better late than Never

Been really busy in the past month or so.... I have been meaning to put some pics on the blog, just..... never enough hours in the day.

So this is going to be a mish/mosh of stuff.

Arnprior dog show: I met up with Cindy who own's Rosé's Son from her first litter - Axel
We gave him the "show grooming" treatment and Brianna took her camera... and snapped a few pics.....  Ain't he handsome!

The Daffodiles were in full bloom.

Rosé is always on high alert aroundme... she is my Watch Dog.... so funny, cause she is sooo sweet.

The next 2 pics... similar running / jumping in air shotd.

  LOL!!  Duncan at 8 years of age.... he loves to run!

Rayna... rules the roost!

Rio - Look at me!

Yup... he ensured that he could grab the ball at any given time... this is his Ball!

Little miss Rose and her nephew Rio.  He is 16"

Don't think about it tooo long Rose...

Back off Gramma!

Rio is such a happy happy boy.

Protected in the backyard up on the fence, between the tree and "dogs" I look to find 2 beautiful eggs.  I hope all goes well, that they are born and live to experience life as we know it.  Well, a birds life.

The lilacs are blooming

Don't know what this is called.

The miniture bearded Lily's are starting to pop out

The Better late than never part... really... 
This is now the burial ground of my very first sheltie pup that lost his life on Christmas Eve 2009 - yes.... 18 months ago. 

Along side of him is Portia's 2 Sons from 2 different pregnancies.
(Still borns - Early and late 2010)

yes... life is soooo busy that one forgets certain things..always saying I'll do it today.... and today never comes...Plans that were planned out, but never happened... procrastinating... I hate it.  Today... with the sun gleaming... and working in the garden... I stopped to smell the roses... got the shovel... picked out the most peaceful spot... and finally gave these 3 babes a proper goodbye burial.  The lone daffadil and the peoney plant will remind me of them always.  Beside the rock is my sign "Sheltie Crossing"

 The first green puppy (early placenta detachment)
born at Almonte vet - pic taken by Dr. Amanda Malloy.
No has ever seen a green pup... alive anyways.  He was special for all.
We called him the Grinch.. and ask the people by his name at the Vets... they remember him.

He lived one day.

Axel is "Pet of the Week"

According to the EMC Newspaper, The Shier Family had submitted a picture of Axel cause they thought he was cute enough to be chosen as the paper's "Pet of the Week"... and well.... he is and he is featured this week!  Congrats Cindy!!!!

Axel is brother to Charlotte and Lily!
He is headed to Agility Training this summer!

"Axel" is now on tour

I had a visitor last night. This is twice I have seen this lady. My keeper states that she is going to be my new Mom.

I had something called a bath the night before…. I don’t highly recommend it, considering you freeze your tail off once it is done. I could not stop shaking. Then my keeper dried up my fur with towels and then took a red gun out that fired warm air at me? Like that really scared me.  NOT!

I think she was trying to reproduce some Rock and Roll concert effect….you know that wind thingy blowing their hair around….but I mean really??? What was the point I can’t even sing or play an instrument? I don’t get it. I think she is expecting way to much from me.

So there is my new mom. A lot of questions and answers are going on. I'm engaged in this conversation.  You can always learn.  One I couldn't comprehend - my new mom asked when I get New Turd.

New Turd? What the heck? She is going to get new Turd every day… sometimes three times a day? And I don’t understand my keeper saying when I’m 6 months old… has she not been paying attention when she is cleaning up our area? DOH! Hello?

I’m sure my keeper will be getting a phone call tonight regarding my premature date of my new turd and that she doesn’t know what she is talking about. Wish I could be a fly on the wall.  Farmer Brown the sky is falling!

My new mom says that she will continue to send pictures… so I hope to stay in contact and talk to you all again. My new name will be Ruffleiths Axel Rock n Rose if CKC agrees.

Bye for now! Luv ya’

Axel
