My Big Brother Java

Dear Toddy
You look so much like my big brother Java! I found a photo from last weeks handling class, where he is pretending to be a show dog. Check it out! Your sister Rio sure is pretty. Where does she live?

Here also is another photo from handling class. Do you ever do those? If you do...I'll stop making fun of Java. Me and Bodhi like to tease Java and Siepa. Siepa does not go to class but is awful grumpy with us, so it is fun to get him going. Though Miss W gets upset about it. She says we should not bark at other dogs through fences! Well we haven't gotten to play with many of the big dogs, so how else are we going to do it???

Well I must go, Miss W says she needs the computer for 'work' - ick!

Love,
Woody

Your cousins

Hi Woody

Woody and the Cinni-Buns

Dear Toddy
Here are some pics from last nights romp in the backyard. Me and Bridget and Bodhi played with the cinn-buns again and also Uncle Hakka! He is so very nice, I want to be just like him when I grow up. The little puppy talking to me while I am in the chair is Ford, one of the cinni-buns. He is nice, I like him. I do not care that he is round!

I was sorry to hear about the evil puppy farmer and his lies in court. Hopefully the truth will come out and Daisy and Saphie will be safe. Please keep us posted. Miss W has a big soft heart for doggies that need new homes.

Hopefully things are dryer over there in the UK. Mud is fun, but it tends to lead to baths I hear.

Love,
Woody

Woody and Bridget Lounging

This is me and Bridget, after our big walk, having a little chew and getting settled down to nap. We have just met Ranger, Blue Dog and Blanche and enjoyed some of their water from their bowl. Wow their bowl is big!

Toddy - question for you - is this like where I will sleep when I am with you and everyone at Ceannabeinne? I think I like this little crate thing.

Photos from the Field Adventure

Here is me and pretty Bridget out walking together.
We walked along the edge like good pups, so as not to squash down the growing crop of hay. Next photo is of us being a little naughty, but Miss W thought it made a pretty photo.

Woody's Whirlwind Weekend

Dear Toddy, Judy and all at Ceannabeinne-
I hope you are enjoying your tea. Here is the story of my weekend!

First Miss W was in a dither getting ready for a visitor, Louise, who was to take home my little brother Bow. Then Louise was here and we had lots of play time with her. Louise was loads of fun. Saturday was very hot here, we were having a break from rain. We too have been having very wet weather lately. Anyway, later Saturday was a little sad as Bow left us, to become Amarillo Slim. But Sunday was fun. We again had play time in the grass backyard as Miss W did some deep cleaning of our kennel. Then we had naptime while the fat Cinni-Buns had playtime. Then myself and my little sister Bridget had a walk with Miss W up to the farm and around the fields. I was a very good boy and lead the group. I showed Bridget how to stay in the path in the fields and how to stay just ahead. Then little Bridget got tired and Miss W had to carry her. I was tired too, but very bravely kept leading our little group. Once we got home we had our first visit in the house where we met Ranger, Blue Dog and Blanche. Ranger and Blanche are retired sled dogs! And wow are they cool (although Ranger does not like to share his bed). Blue Dog is a blue dog.... he was very nice to us and laid on the floor so we could crawl all over him. Then Miss W gave us water from a big dog bowl and little chewies and we napped in a crate for the first time. Later the most fun thing happened, two little girls came to visit us all! They played with the fat Cinni-Buns first and then came to visit us. Bridget was scared, but me and Brook's were not. Then Bridget saw that everything was safe and came out to play with the two little girls as well.

As if the day was not full enough we were visited by bikers! Miss W's friend DJ came on her motorcycle all the way from the seacoast with 3 friends who came to look at us.

Then pretty much that was it, accept we also had a new thing happen at dinner time. We no longer eat out of a puppy-saucer. We each have our own bowls! The Cinni-Buns are very jealous. They got our saucer, as they are so fat they barely fit around the one that was theirs.

Well tha'ts my story. I think Miss W has photos she can post later of me leading and also of Bridget and I in the crate napping and having chewies. So check back tomorrow!

Bye for now!
Love and wiggles
Woody

oops

hi again Woody

paws crossed

Toddy

Hi Woody

Wow Woody

this is really smart..... ive never used a blog before!! my mum and dad are a bit in the dark ages when it comes to pcs and things!

well, we have had a boring day today. it has rained and rained and rained. the poor huskies down south england are really having problems. they had so much rain on friday that 100's of 1000's of people are flooded badly. the water treatment plant was flooded so there is no drinking water and towns are cut off. it must be awful being a husky down there.

Yesterday mum and dad took Saphie, the girl in the dog pound for a long walk with a ridgeback. She has kennel cough so we were not allowed to go and see her this time. the horrible puppy farmer is in court tomorrow so we have got all our paws crossed he doesn't win or sapphie has to go back. can you ask all your pals to cross their paws too. if he doesn't win mum can get saphie and daisy a home really soon.

Our kennel name is Ceannabeinne. it means 'head of the mountain' in gaelic. Ceannabeinne is a mountain and a beach on the north coast of scotland and is beautiful. When you come here you wil be Barking Brook's Woodland Mist at Ceannabeinne.

here is a picture of Zeni last november on ceannabeinne beach. You would have loved Zeni. we will tell you all about her when you come.

well, mums having her tea now.

bye for now Woody

love Toddy

Hello

Dear Judy, Hugh, Toddy, Moose, Reiger, Taggart, Spooky, Storm, Mac, Minnie, Nakki and Naska:

Let's write each other letters here and share photos and news. That way we will not miss out on anything, even though we are separated by an ocean.

Love to all, tail wags and nose prints-
