December is upon us already

Well today is the 1st of December.  Where has this year gone?  To me it only seems like a blink of an eye since we were playing in the snow last winter but play we did.  Unfortunately, I have had to cancel today's classes (Morning & evening) as I fear the travel conditions are too bad.  It took me an hour to cross the Island yesterday and I know from friends that travel to Leigh or Southend was terrible.  A friend of mine left home at 9am to visit Southend hospital and got home at 4.30pm!!

The dogs are enjoying the snow though, Colin loves it and throws snow in the air at me, the other dogs and anyone else in throwing distance.  Trouble is that he eats as much as he throws and then spends the rest of the day and night peeing gallons!

Saturday workshops went well again with Tye the 3 legged staff really taking on the role of policing the ruffians in his group.  His 'Mum' was so proud of him again as were the rest of us.  It is lovely to see a dog that has come from such a poor start, with some rather strong issues, finding his place in the doggy community.

Biggles, the SBT, is a lovely lad with a peculiar fetish.  He tries to steal other dogs collars.  Most strange!!

Well finaly on Saturday he achieved his aim on Saturday and was seen haring off across the field with poor Millie the labradoodle in hot pursuit.  He had stolen her collar and was as pleased as punch with himself.  It took a little more convincing from Trev, his owner, to get him back than it usually does.

Send me your pics of your dogs enjoying the snow.
