Well Done to Jackie with Speedy at his very first show, he was such a good boy. Nice to see Saffy, Dana and Reno again too.
Sunday was Cellos' first Open obedience show in PreBeginners and Beginners, just training rounds but he was a good boy and, despite the wind,really concentrated on his work and did some lovely heelwork and turns. He looked around, saw there were lots of collies, met lots of his obedience friends, and seemed to know that he wasn't at a breed show where he is normally way over the top! Lots of winter training now and hopefully he will compete properly next year. Having just celebrated his eighth birthday he is doing really well in his new career. He was glowing on Tuesday night at club so I think he feels one of the "in crowd" now Lol!!!

Celine had only one puppy, a male, which is growing extremely fast. He has his eyes open now and gets fatter every day.
The chickens are nearly all out in their new pens (old kennels) and I had 3 new hens for my birthday to add to the laying flock. The youngest of the chicks are now moved into the shed for the next few weeks, especially as it has turned so chilly at night, so they still need a heatlamp. Out of 11 Favarolles 5 are male, 5 female and 1 who knows as it looks like it might be a cross with something else. Photos to follow.
Off to Midland Counties on Saturday so Remy and Maisie have been to visit. They are enjoying their new life with Phil and Ollie. Some dogs just do so much better in a home environment so, although it was hard to see Remy leave home, he is just down the road and he visits regularly.
