Stella Meets Boss!!!

OMG boss is soaking wet, he loves jumping in the stream and duck pond at Mark & Autumns house/farm. He stinks as bad as he looks, and he's very very excited to see Stella ;O)

He went nuts when he saw her, he ran 'figure of eights' in the garden and kept jumping over Stella - she got a bit scared!! But later he calmed down and we all went for a walk around the garden together, with lots of cocking legs and squirty wees. I even weed into a bush to show Stella it was OK to wee outside, but she walked between my legs too quickly and I sprayed her head [Daaad!!!!!!] I had to laugh cos Alexia said it was funny that Stella had a wet head when we came back inside, I said 'don't ask' and didn't tell her :o0

Stella kept sniffing his chest looking for teats, I think she thought he was mum and wanted to suckle milk. We had to laugh cos Boss just stood there while she looked under his belly - then Stella thought she'd 'struck gold' and found the biggest teat of her life - yep his 'willy' aaahhhh - so we had to get her away from him quickly before she used her sharp little teeth and made his eyes water ;O)

Stella on the Bed

Hello Girls

I've got Stella at my feet being very 'chewy' and playing with things she shouldn't, grrr ;O)

She's a little dream really and doing things that older dogs normally do, like fetching a tennis ball!!!. We've been playing loads, and cleaning her poos and wees when she does them inside - altho' we are starting to know her rhythm - wees as soon as she wakes up and poos straight after shes eaten [Daaaad too much information!!]

Its been really hot here this week - in the high 20's every night, we need to keep the doors and windows open in the evening to keep cool - which is also good for puppy training. Tash is being really cool about Stella, wagging tails means something totally different to cats - she can always get out of troubles way usually jumping high up - but we have to feed her away from Stella, cos barrel guts would wolf Tash's food down too.

She was really awake the morning we took this video - a real hand full, but after half an hour she crashed and slept for 2 hours, typical :O)

Will post more vids soon

Here She is - still got blue eyes, only 6 weeks old - has she got a natte plume (it's dutch ask Oma what it means!!)??

Ahh She's still sooo tiny - wonder how big she'll get??

Back In Christchurch

Hiya Girls,

Yep I'm back in Christchurch a little earlier than planned, but I'm glad I am, yey decent bed and a bath (oooh yuk dad!!!)

The Cherries were starting to run out sooner than expected on the orchard so rather than push for another weeks work or so I decided to come back and work on my teaching job.

I was also missing Alexia and home a lot too, 5 weeks in the back of the van on a noisy orchard was becoming a struggle aye. There were over 20 of us using a basic kitchen and a couple of fridges, which was also becoming tiresome!!! I met some lovely people - there were the Czechoslovakians and Taiwanese who were good fun to meet in different ways.
The Czechs had a great sense of humour and an easy going type nature - anyway... rambling on again...

There's also another reason why I wanted to come back sooner - watch the video and you'll see why ;O)

See if you can spot the new edition to the family!!!!

Lots of love Dad
