Blogging

It seems that over the past 6 months or so I have neglected the blog! i'm not sure why but I'm going to do my best to get back into it.
We had had a nice relaxing break over Christmas and New Year, I have started my new job and am looking forward to the season ahead.  Amy has some exciting news of her own, she will be getting a puppy on 17th February, funnily enough it was born on Ruperts birthday so we're taking that as a good omen....
We have for a while been looking out for a puppy for Amy, her lifestyle will probably be changing over the next few years, she hopes to move out and take Summer and the new pup with her so she wants a dog to compliment Summer rather than be a finely tuned athelete (that will be a bonus) so we went in search of a lovely dog and we more than found that in Bo (Gunran Chasing Rainbows) Funnily enough we have known her mum Lou for quite a few years and it wasnt till we heard she was having a litter that we both thought what a nice dog she was. Luckily it didn't take much persuasion for Steve to come round and after visiting the litter Amy chose Brucie who's KC name will be Follyfleet Moonshine. I have to say a huge thank you to Lou and her family, they have been so accomodating and understanding of our needs and we really can't wait to go on this journey with them, Lou is keeping the red girl from the litter so it's going to be great fun times ahead.

Rupert has had a few weeks off training and competitions due mainly to the heavy snow and then the horrid wind and rain, but we are back at training again tomorrow night so i'll be able to gague how the time off has affected him - or not!  I have also enrolled on a training evening with Laura Chudleigh,  it starts next week and is then every 3 weeks.  At the end of each session you get homework so i'm hoping to get my teeth into that over the next month or so.

Amy has already enrolled Brucie in puppy training with Dave Munniungs once a month and will be taking him to weekly puppy classes with Laura Wylie in Daventry so i'm sure there will be plenty of puppy news to fill this blog over the coming months
