The CLA 2008

Well we went to the CLA at Blenheim and what a sunny weekend it was, I have to say a bit hot, up to 30 degrees and I only had my black coat with me.

I did a few Scurry's but the dummies were not that interesting, give me a running Pheasant any day.

Treacle was well behaved and we introduced her to shooting on the clay line, she doesnt quite understand it but she wasn't bothered by the gun fire, in fact she slept through most of the shooting.

We went with Tilly the Tornado wo as you see seemed to thing I was a seat.

Well the Grouse season starts tomorrow so we are heading up North next week to do a few days picking up.

I will keep you up todate.

See you all soon

Swimming Lessons

Well they have to learn, I took the kids, Treacle & Branna swimming the other day and I have to say they took to it like a lab to a pond :)

Branna is off home tonight so it will be just me and Treacle, ahhh peace and quiet, well almost.

Well I'm off for a walk later so see you all soon.

The winds of change

Well, we have had some issues Barnie had to come home for a while and Branna is here on holiday for 10 days so no peace for me for a while, then Barnie has gone up to Penrith as he has found a new family to look after.

I will see most of the kids on a regular basis but it is peaceful when there is only the one

Im off to the CLA game fair at the end of the month so will be practicing my retrieving over the next few weeks

See you all soon

Then there was One

Well all the kids have gone except Treacle who will be staying with me, she is going to be a gundog too so I am going to train her. She is a bit naughty at the moment but we will keep a careful eye on her and get her up to scratch.

I'm going up North in August to see how Mack is getting on and will probably stop off on the way to see Barnie.

See you all soon

LOL
