10 days, wow thats soon. Exciting times and lots of shopping.

We dont have a Sams warehouse but the kids dont use the cubby house alot now so I think I might turn it into a dog retreat. Yay for puppy shopping and no more exams, are you on holidays as such now Lisa? Do you have a date that Nova will be able to come home?

I hope you did better than you think Lisa. Can I ask what you are studying? What a nice surprise coming home to unexpected mail and bonus surprise for Nova as well.

Such a gorgeous cake and what a brilliant idea. Any news on the puppy front anyone? None here yet sadly. I did whip up a quick cover for my show trolley for when its in the car or getting stored.

How was the news this morning Lhok. Praying for little Raiden and sending you much love and support.

Cassie we live rurally and have a house pump and its an onga and its still going strong ( 10 years) and its gets used everytime we turn a tap on or flush the toilet so should be ok :)

oh Lhok, my heart breaks for you and little Raiden, I hope that the breeder can be of some comfort to you and hopefully they might be able to shed some light on things for you. I really hope that the vet has it wrong as Raiden has been the little fighter so far. Sending you much love and support.

Sorry I missed the later updates Lhok but you have dont your best to puppy proof and as Jack said the benefits outway the possibilities. Any further news on how he is doing and how is kidneys are doing? Hope he is home soon, can you go in and visit him at the vets?

Do they know what it is and what the plan of action is next? Sending lots of get well vibes. He was being such a bugger. He was only recalling because I had a fistful of liver treats and then he'd be off again. All well and good but he was on lead and being a total monkey! First time he'd seen a lot. There's about 8 in the class and his eyes about bugged out of his head. He hangs out with mum's dogs sometimes, met my Aunty's Westie last week for a good play. But en masse and puppies, it was like Christmas had come early. She's having a girl. It's been quite interesting. It was very, very unplanned but now I get to buy baby stuff and not do any of the hard work. Hooray! Sounds like he was very excited to meet some new friends, Im sure in a couple of weeks he will be doing great. Hopefully all goes well for your sister, but yes its fun buying and snuggling without losing the sleep.

Will is gorgeous, and I also hope the toy survives so you can take a pic with it when she is fully grown. Lhok, I hope its nothing serious with little Raiden, when will you hear some news? Steph sounds like Gus was the life of the party last night at puppy school, was that the first time he had seen lots of other dogs since he left the breeder? Great that he has some recall already though. How exciting for your sister. Does she know what she is having?

ok, I have upped the budget to around $12k and am now tossing up by stretching it further and getting a diesel Santa Fe or getting a Subaru GT Liberty wagon? Any thoughts on those?

Thats a lovely registered name :) Glad your exam went well today Lisa, No news here other than my show trolley arrived. Just got in from dancing so when I get the human kids to bed I will get it out and check it out. Excited.

yes yes I did, its old and redy/brown colour and its only cold but it will do the job ( not sure if its necessary but it was too good a bargain to pass up)

Welcome little Nova ( well when he arrives but he now has a name :) ) Good luck with your exams today Lisa.

I might was going to order when I knew what colour puppy I would be getting but might wait until we hit the ring. I got a call earlier to say my trolley is in town and I can pick it up or they will deliver it Thursday but I think I might pick it up from town this afternoon when I take the girls to dancing. My list so far is Dryer - I bought it off buy swap and sell locally for $20 its an older liberty one and nothing fancy Show Trolley - OKS two berth with wheels that have brakes Martingale soft leads for everyday walking Bengo Crate Bed for Crate from The Reject Shop Teeth cleaning gel from US This week I might order my stamp to make handstamped name tags or a grooming box, not sure yet.

Wow that came up quickly, no doubt you will be very busy grabbing lots of things. Just to help you on your way deals direct have half price shipping today. Send a pm to wayrod on this forum he seems to be the flight guru :)

Dont worry I am the same, I also said that to mine. He did a 12 hours overtime and worked the public holiday last week, so he said I can see alot of purchases happening this week. I think I will actually save it and start putting it towards a car for showing. I just want one that I can take to shows, leave my stuff in and not overly worry about it. Dory I agree with you I am also liking Sumos head better but I have no idea what the standard says so its purely just my personal preference. I also wont have alot of grooming so just went with the show trolley will use it as needed. Dont forget the show case for all the grooming supplies. Has anyone bought any show leads yet? Thats next on my list but not sure what colour I will end up with makes it hard to purchase leads.

Im trying to make all my purchases in my waiting time, Im also filling in time looking at overseas breeders lol. Will there be many shows locally? Never know you might love it like Cassie and Sumo. Im sure you will have fun at agility.

No exciting news to report here. The collars I ordered from the US where only posted yesterday and my show suit also from the US only send on Sat so no mail to come this week. Lisa you boy sounds like the perfect match for you. Will you show him as well as agility?

They are both just so beautiful. I noticed there was a show trolley for sale in SA on the classifieds on the home page Cassie, it doesnt say the size but thought it might be of interest to you :)

I think you are set fairystar, how exciting.

I think he must have doubled in size but just as adorable.

Poor Gus, he looks less than impressed by your efforts thats for sure. But he is every so cute.

Nope you hadnt missed anything. One of the IG breeders that I have visited is giving lessons and offered the use of her show dogs so thought I would get some lessons also with dogs that are already trained, plus cant give up an opportunity to spend time with IGs

Still not sure, waiting on a litter to be born and another to come into season, so really not sure yet. Thinking Sept at the earliest.
