Well, Im going to forget that last weekend existed ... dont recall anything ! apart from eating this stuff.......................
Totally miffed that we didn't get to play agility at Easter but safety is the priority and Im sure we will be repaid our patience by him up there in due course.Well, after Blossom not willing to succumb to maternal duties we have started back to training and it is going well, but, she can get sooo excited that she loses her focus, which I find frustrating .... With time constraints with training we waste a lot of time at the minute
resetting and making sure she calms down before we start something else ... Im not happy that I cant train her as much as I would like, hopefully will get her to the standard so we are not pinging off at a hundred miles an hour off the contacts ! I have been training her to nose tap to a mat as the actual foot tap isn't working coming off the decent...if I can get her to nose tap to the bottom of the contact her body seems to work better that way and for once she has to look at the floor and not me !
Was cleaning out Madeleine's room today and came across Madeleine's hula hoop, I called Blossom who whooped at the sight of the hoop and loved playing the 'through' game for five minutes my god does she get excited or what ... Ruby & Beryl came upstairs to see what was going on and they soon went back downstairs totally confused thinking Blossom had gone mad being so excited over a hula hoop... Madeleine has not been well since last Friday and Blossom has been Madeleine's constant companion, she seems to know that something isn't right and last night I found the pair sleeping in Madeleine's bed with Blossom tucked under Madeleine's arm...she stayed up there for a good hour or so ... Then Blossy came down and slept on my lap such a cuddly girl that she is... who needs a medicine bottle when you have a delightful sheltie called Blossom. Photo below is off Blossom when she was younger cant seem to find any recent ones on the computer.
As you may know I am a visual artist and have a BA Hons fine art degree (Printmaking) and HND in 2~D design which covered illustration.... now and then I sometimes draw some doodles and recently I did a couple of Sheltie's all of them have sold apart from the shopping bag image. You will notice there is a difference in styles this is evidence of me experimenting with line etc, the drawings are rendered over with a quick colour wash..
hope you like them :O)
