News and Updates! (with pictures and videos)

It's been ages since we've done an update/picture type post! We've been so busy with PAW and our reviews and things around the house/garden...

We've had a lot on lately anyway, but we managed to put some time aside to play with the girls :) We had a blast playing with Lily's birthday toys, the Aikiou and the Dogit.

This is how they did the very first day we got the toys -

 And this is them now, 2 weeks later, this is roughly the 4th time they've used them :) -





I love how excited they get when we get the new toys out, even if it is only Lily and Lola who seem to have mastered them :')

To give Monroe some credit after 2 weeks of not seeming to even notice the new toys, she did this -



It makes me laugh that she didn't even bother to take the treat after, she just wandered off with a satisfied look on her face. We call it her 'I did it!' face :')

And look what Buffy learnt to do!



Still got a bit of work to do on her 'crawl', she's supposed to do like an army crawl, but she gets over excited and just skitters about :')

We also had some work done in the garden! A few months ago our area was flooded with dog thefts and we almost had our girls taken. Our garden only has very low wall, about 4 foot and to cut a long story short they were out to pee late one night and a guy came over our wall and tried to grab them. Luckily we interrupted him and he ran. Since then we never let the girls out into the garden alone, even during the day. We've been thinking about sorting some fencing since that happened but never got around to it.

Everything was quiet for a while anyway and then a few days ago we had our gate unbolted in the the night (it had a heavy pad bolt on the inside, but was low enough for someone to easily lean over) and we were worried about the girls getting out if it happened again. So, we decided to have some fencing panels put up on top of our existing wall, making it about 7 foot and a new taller gate put on with a padlock. My dad and Jonny did it Thursday morning and we all feel more at ease :) We're looking at moving again in a few months, hopefully we'll get a nicer garden, until then our new fence is exactly what we needed!

This is our new fence! You can see just how low our wall really was :(

We'll be back in a few days with some training updates/videos of Lola, plus we're hoping to do some more baking, so we'll have more pupcake info and pictures soon, but until then...

Love & licks as always,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe, Lily and Lola.
