Sorry to hear about Baruska it does get worrying when they stop being their normal bouncy selves. Hopefully she will perk up later or tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about Bara there Harvey, it's the little things like that, you notice when they're getting older isn't it, maybe she's just having one of her off days, I hope so bless her.

Very dark day here, with a fine rain, but warm. All girlies been out for a walk and are settled with bones and an interested audience of babies, I am sure it won't be long before the babies have the bones away from them They were late risers this morning, they are becoming less and less dependent on mummy, I am making sure they have more than enough to eat so they are full and contented, they still have a drink from her when I pop them in the puppy palace in the morning when I have cleaned but they are nowhere near as frantic to get to her as they were this time last week. Had a little cry before because I realised that Sasha goes to her new family a week today, Che goes on the 17th, thank goodness it is not the same day, it takes me a day or so to get myself back together when they go, then fingers crossed they will all keep in touch this time (they say they will) and I will know how things are going.
I think there is some sort of doggy bug going round you know because Taran's mummy emailed to say he was poorly, then Lona wasn't too clever the other day, nothing specific, but she wasn't herself and she didn't want to eat for a day, totally not her, and the babies were poorly as well but only for a day thank goodness, not sure if it was worming them I have never had that reaction before, but maybe they had got a mild dose of whatever it is that is going round. Last day for worming them today, and Che had cottoned onto what was going to happen and wouldn't let me open his mouth to pop the syringe in, he has very sharp teeth as I found out, ouch!!!! He was wormed though
Just finished cleaning up and having a cup of tea and some toast, then I will take the tree down and the decs, didn't put much up really so won't take long. Got some friends of mine coming over to microchip the babies in the morning tomorrow, so will get it all looking less like a doss house today I think!!!!
Here is today's Puppy Fix-and it is Keshi

Afternoon all. Only just catching up here today just sat down with a coffee.
I was late getting up this morning (8.30)eek!! So it's put me back for all day. Had a quick walk this morning then off to Morrisons for the shopping. Hubby had ordered a new camera (as if he's not got enough of them) from PC World that we had to pick up today so while we were paying for the shopping I noticed the gift cards they sell where you can get money off fuel if you buy them. We ended up buying 20 £20 cards £400's worth. So he can get 40p a litre off fuel. Every little helps. Anyway it took ages for these cards to be scanned & the queue was getting longer & you could feel everyone behind us getting impatient.
Went home & unpacked & then down to PC World- got his camera & then had to go through the whole process again with the cards to pay. Home for a quick lunch & then a 2 hr walkies. Fortunately it's very mild & dry.
Just having a quick coffee before I start doing some work. Not even washed the breakfast dishes yet.
OH has gone to the chiropodist - he's got an ingrowing toe nail
that isn't healing so he might have to have the nail off
He's got so many things wrong with him lately if he was a Dog I'd shoot him
Have a good day everyone.

Where are you as compared to Rosebud. I used to notice when I was at ex-OH in the South West it used to stay light a lot longer this time of year compared to the north west where I am, so if Rosebud is in South West Ireland (no idea where you are geographically Rosebud, I am hopeless) and you are say in the opposite direction then it will stay darker your end.

'afternoon Lynn and everyone

Dillon is a good boy, he can't help the odd bit of barking, he will calm down in time.

We did the weekly food shop this morning and for the first time ever Baruska wouldn't move from her favorite spot so we left her there and when we came back she didn't run down to the gate either. It's obvious she is getting old now and it's hard to see her like that especially as Rianna (who is almost the same age) is still very active. That's life I suppose.

Best wishes to all of you out there

MM is in Essex, so that is SE (I think anyway) it will be darker there than it is where you are Rosebud. It is already darkish here now and got the curtains drawn and lamps on, babies in the kitchen and have deigned to eat tuna in sunflower oil with a small amount of bio yogurt and cottage cheese, RESULT!!! Even Sasha was eating it, and she looks at you like you are trying to poison her everytime you give them something new
