what happened to Blue and Bordeaux?




Helle og Henrik og Funny

the story about the F-pups on the old farm is finished - now they are not blue, green, purple, red, rosa, white, bordeaux and lilac but Taitha, Diezel, N'kosi, Fuba, Cassie, Fuma, Funny and Phoebe and real little puppies trying learn how to live and behave with their new wonderful families. If anybody has been counting the images of happy new owners with their pups - two was still missing: Blue and Bordeaux: Blue who is now Taitha has moved to become a city dog in Fredericia and as his new "mum" is a member of the family and I am still co-owner on him we will see him frequently in the future. Bordeaux the poor little thing ;-) has been sentenced to stay on the farm and Funny Bunny is a daily joy to the two legged and a daily frustration to the four legged - cats, dogs and sheep........

Lazy weekend


Yes I know - I am getting Lazy, now things are returning to normal. Also the weekend has been rather busy: Saturday Sammy and I travelled south to Svendborg to participate in a ring crafts course with Stockholm based, Irish born handler Gerard O'Shea. After an entertaining start with quite a few unfounded presumptions we had three hours of .... I am not too sure .... any way it was WAYYYY to much running around keeping the dogs up beat for a lot of them and in the end Sammy was so tired that her eyes just glazed over. That was of course the first time the trainer looked in our direction and took her leash to show how to put life back into a tired dog ..... gggg ... Sammy had lots of life left - she jumped like a rubber ball - but every time her feet touched the ground she went into a flying sit as she didnt understand what he wanted her to do and sit was her best offer.... so that was a bit of a light relief. It has to be said that training on Sunday was more useful and no doubt we all got a good few tips to aid our future handling success.
Saturday afternoon we took little Funa on a trip into Aarhus Festuge just to give her a little city experience. She just loved it - trotted happily in her little leash with her pretty red collar and it is a wonder there is a hair left on her body from all the people patting her.
Sunday the pups spent most of the time in the kitchen learning how to cut up a lamb - if sheer attention to details can make a successfull carver especially Taitha will be top drawer.
