Its hard to believe that 6 years ago I received " That" phone call saying that there was a black girl just born if I would like her . She was the only black jelly bean amongst all those Gold nuggets .

A gold cocker is what I wanted , but after waiting 6 long months that just wasn't happening so a black it was . I have never regretted the decision to take that little black girl .

Maggie you have brought me so much joy ,happiness , laughter and the odd tear . We have been through a lot , the worst was at the young age of 5 months you were diagnosed with HD. The next year was hard but we did it . Travelling an hour each way to have hyrdrotherapy, seeing various natural therapy people, strict diet and excercise .

The best news was about 2 years later seeing the specialist again and he feeling your hips and saying that there was no luxating , the hips where tight , you had done what we were so hoping you would, develop psuedo hips ( your own special hips ) .

We then found out about luring . I was a bit worried wether it was Ok for you , I rang my vet and he said let you try . you absolutely loved it , surprising everyone how well you preformed. The proudest moment was last year when you received your Feild Champion

:party: Happy Birthday Maggie :party:

Asti is so clever hiding the treat where no one will find it :laugh: Great pic

OMG that he has got to be the cutest little thing :love: . Got my heart going . Does Asti like his little bro ?

Thanks MTD - Yes Asti is like a totally different dog - she plays hard but has 'adjusted' her intensity! She even started to tug with a toy with him and lets him win! We are very happy that they both get along :D

Riley's Mr Serious is cool!

Love Asti's little powdered nose :) and what a gorgeous little brother she gets to play with :D

Sweet Maggie girl on her birthday, she looks so proud of herself.

Wonderful portrait of Spencer, such a cute curious pose, nice angle too :)

Lotus 43/52 - wobble-butt (one of her nic-names) ... been meaning to show off her half-tail (she was born with) all year ... but couldn't just leave it with her tail, so put it together with a head-shot (not the best in the series, but couldn't go past her expression ... ever compliant :) )

A quick trip down to the river on one of the warmer mornings this Spring, Chester 43/52 - cooling off ... not a swimmer, but will take a dip now'n'again

I've included this last shot as it was going to be his weekly shot before the river trip. Since I no longer have access to lightroom thanks more to an unfortunate hot water system bust which has basically financially ruined me for a while, I only have elements8 for editing ... I need to learn how to use it efficiently, so far it's just purely frustrating ... so this wasn't really what I had in mind when I took it, but just a mindless play

Chester

and since I'm here, I hope no one minds me adding another unlikely edit via elements8 of Lotus giving me a funny look too this week

:D

ps: I am so over this, so I'm sorry I've pretty much been just posting and running the past few weeks :( ... but of course I can't quit now only 9 weeks out

Love Riley's serious face, and Astis sandy nose.

anniek - nice side profile of Cowboy and looks like a very relaxed Cowboy at the beach.

MTD - cute birthday pic of Miss Maggie and what a lovely story of your special girl.

gila - love the angle and another lovely side profile of Spencer.

SammieS - cute nose pic of Asti. Funny how some dogs like to bury things for later on. OMG - I want an "Angus". :love:

wagsalot - love Rileys ears in both pics. Very serious, intent look from him in the 2nd pic. :laugh:

CM - once again, love all your pics. Love the lip curls from them both in the last two pics.

P.S. OK no-one is allowed to quit now, me included. Only 9 weeks to go. :whee:

I decided to have a bit of fun with this pic.

Marlo - Week 43 - Happy Halloween..... :eek:

Thanks guys. Yes, Marlo's intense/deadpan look is the result of her treat (bribe) of delicious bbq chicken which I strategically place near me. I tell her to 'watch' it and hey presto a dog so still and fixated on her treat I can take a few snaps of her. Only downside is if I'm too slow, she starts to drool, which isn't a pretty sight. :laugh:

Great photos everyone, I have missed a few weeks, so caught up and really enjoyed them all, but I am a sucker for sunsets :-)

This is mine for week 44, time for a family shot of Chazer with his mum Bella, two smiley happy faces - Weibritty had a photo for Chazer for week 43 that was very cute, maybe she can do my week 43 :D
