More Socialising Bella

Woof…. We've had a busy few days this week, well Bella has, she has a better social life than all of us put together and she's only 18 weeks old!

First she went to a Puppy Party, this was run by our Vetandhairy people's, these parties be really important for pupsters so they can learn to behave around other doggies and not be scared of different size ones. Bella's brother Harvey came too, there was a wabbity sized Border Terrier called Koopa and a Cavapoo called Ruby, they were very nice, wabbity sized Koopa yapped a lot though!

The Vetandhairy nursey running the party was helping when Bella and Harvey were borned, she was very pleased to meet them again. Bella was very excited when she got home cos she got a certificate for attending, she even went to bed with it:)

Then on Wednesday she went to the Ringcraft classes at Yew Tree Canine Society hooman Mummy and Daddy were really pleased with her and told me she was trotting on the mat and standing on the judging table like a proper professional show pupster (beams with pride). There is a show soon and we are all going, we can't wait! There's a fancy dress class, if anyone has any ideas for us to go as please let us know.
Yesterday Bella was play fighting with me and one of her teeth fell out! It's ok though it's her baby tooth, she put it under her blanky and a tooth fairy came and left her a whole £1.00, lucky Bella!
Hope you all have a luffly weekend, speak soon luff Peaches xx

 

 

A Traumatic Birth!

Woof………

As I promised in my last blog, it’s now time to tell you all about the traumatic birth of my puppies!

My pregnancy went really well, Mummy said I was very good and never complained, the real bonus was that I got fed THREE times a day, amazeballs!!

Anyways my due date arrived, but my babies didn’t want to come out. Then another day, and another, and another, finally Daddy phoned Mummy, cos she was at work, to tell her I was being restless. All afternoon I just couldn’t get comfy at all. Later I was allowed to go to bed upstairs, pawsome, so they could keep an eye on me. All night I was uncomfortable and kept telling Mummy. The next morning Mummy didn’t go to work, she stayed at home to help me. I was very restless and didn’t know where to lay, I finally snuggled on the back of the sofa.

About six o’clock in the evening I started to get really big pains in my tummy, it really hurt, but I was very brave. They got stronger and stronger, then I felt like I needed to push, I pushed and pushed, but nothing happened:( I kept sleeping and pushing then sleeping again, but still nothing. I looked at Mummy and said I can’t do it. Mummy asked a Vetandhairy friend what should she do, she told her maybe it was time to call our Vetandhairy, she said I needed to go and see her, it was almost eleven thirty at night, way past my bedtime!

Mummy and Daddy took me in the car, the nice Vetandhairy lady examined me (not nice) and said my puppies weren’t where they should be! She said I had to stay and have an operation to get them out of my tummy, it’s called a caesarean. I had some medicine that made me sleep, when I woke up two puppies were there, eek, and I had a zip in my tummy!!

Mummy collected me and my babies, but I was really, really sleepy. I didn’t want to bother with them, I didn’t know what to do, Mummy stayed up all night with me, she made the puppies have some of my milk every half hour and cleaned them for me. Mummy was worried I wouldn’t want my babies, but by morning I had woken up properly and thought, well I’ll just have a look at them, I did and I fell paws over tail in luff with them. I cleaned and cleaned them until they were shiny and fed them my milk, Mummy said I am the bestest Mummy ever:) Here’s some photos of my babies….

This is me cleaning them

This is Bella!

This is Harvey!

I hope you enjoyed my story, as you probably know we kept Bella and Harvey now lives with some luffly friends. Speak soon, Peaches xxx

 

 

 

 

 

Making puppies…..

Woof……

Today I thought I'd tell you all about how I made my puppies, it took a long time I can tell you and I wasn't very keen!

It's a very complicated and delicate subject, as you see I'm already ngaged, but he's not the father of my puppies!

I met Alan a very, very handsome terrier on Facebooky, we chatted and shared photos and eventually met at Burghley Horse Trials, then on Christmas Day 2013 he gave me this most bootiful blingy collar and we became ngaged:)

There was just one problem, Alan is a 98%er, he can't have puppies:(

Mummy spent a long time trying to find the perfect surrogate husband for me, it was really difficult as I'm very particular, and so is Mummy, after all I am a Princess.

In 2013 she eventually found a very handsome young man called Edward (Ted), when I next came into season I went to meet him. As I have said I am a Princess so I don't like boy doggies smelling my bottom, Aunty Twinkle had also told me making puppies wasn't at all nice so I was very, very scared! Ted was really nice, we chatted a bit and eventually I closed my eyes and held my breath………

Anyways 4 weeks later I went for a scan, it was like a tv that looked in my tummy, but there was nothing on the tv:( My tummy was empty, Mummy said I was just getting fat! Rood I say!

We had to wait over six more months before I went to see Ted again, as I am very quiet when in season it's not easy for Mummy to count the days until when they'll be some eggys ready in my tum, Mummy got some Canine Ovulation Pads, when she tested me I was ready at six days!!! The usual apparently is 11 – 12 days, I'm always different, so off we went and I had to close my eyes and hold my breath again……

This time Mummy didn't bother with the tv thingy again, as she said she just knew, here is me cooking my puppies….

Next time I'll tell you all about the birth of my puppies, it was very traumatic!

Snow day!

Woof…… Yeyyyyyy today we had a snow day, it was pawsome!

Last night when we went out in the garden, for our last poos and wees before bedtime, it was snowing just a little bit. This morning, when Mummy woke us up, she let us out as usual, WOW we couldn’t believe it, there was at least three million inches of snow!!! We all ran about like looneys, well that’s what Mummy said, I don’t know what a looney looks like but it was fun being one.

Mummy had to go off to work, poor Mummy:( so we pretended that we were very tired and snuggled down for a snooze. When she’d gone me and Bella ran about, jumping up and down, until Daddy put his gloves, boots and coat on and took us in the garden:)

We made a mahoosive snowman…

And a little wabbity snow dog….

We chased snowballs, chased each other round the garden, until we got too cold and had to go back inside. Bella really luffs the snow, when I was snoozings on the sofa, she was back out running round the garden again! Silly puppy.

Tonight I went on Facebooky and asked all my doggie friends if they would like their snow piccys featuring in my blog, here’s a few, they look like they’ve been having fun too.

Aren’t they all fabulous, they luffs snow, just like me and Bella:)

Socialising Bella

Woof…… You've probably realised by now that I have a ickle baby daughter called Bella, she is Mummy and Daddy's 6th Jack Russell. Mummy said that Bella would need to be socialised, I wondered what on earth that was, I mean would it hurt, would she be safe? Mummy explained that it was all about her meeting other doggies, big ones and wabbity ones like us so that when she grows up she won't be scared. I did think this would be a good idea and gave my approval.

Mummy decided against actual obedience training classes as we were already coping with that, she is house trained and can sit and give her paw, the only problem we have is that she doesn't like to walk on her lead! She's excellent off the lead following us everywhere and will come back when called but freezes when her lead is on:(

Me and Mummy did some looking on the interwebby fing and found a lovely society that's for show doggies, they do ringcraft classes every Wednesday, we did think that it would be perfect especially as Mummy wants to show Bella in some fun dog shows, I do dog shows too, I have lots of rosettes:)

So last week was Bella's first time at the class! She was quite shy and overwhelmed by it all, there were some mahoosive dogs called Tibetan Mastiffs they were as big as a Shetland Pony!!!! Fortunately her brother Harvey came too, he is a bit more outgoing than Bella so she relaxed a bit watching him play with the other big dogs. Little wabbity doggies like us have to stand on a table to be judged, I don't think the judges like bending down as they are usually very old! So Bella stood on the table whilst the training lady pretended to be the judge, she was very nice and gave her kisses and cuddles, then she had to trot up and down the mat a bit like a show pony, Bella didn't like this bit so Mummy and the nice lady bribed her with treats (I may try that trick!) so that she would think its ok to walk on your lead. She started to relax and got better by the end of the evening and got very tired too.

Last night she went again. When they arrived a friend had also brought their ickle 12 week old puppy called Lily she is a Chihuahua/Jack Russell cross and very, very cute! Bella said 'hi' and because she's older she felt it was her job to tell Lily what training was all about, off she trotted into the hall with Lily following, much more confident than last week, she showed Lily how to stand on the mats and where you went for a sit down.

This is Lily….

This week Bella decided to talk to the big dogs, very carefully though, Harvey came too and he also brought his big adopted sister Libby, they met Alice the Standard Wirehaired Daschund, Burta the Spanish Water Dog, a Red Setter, a Shiba Inu and a funny looking dog called a Puli, they look like they have dreadlocks! This time she was happily standing on the table like a proper show dog and walked on her lead without bribery, well only a little!

This is Harvey and Libby, you can see that he's wagging his tail so much it's a blur:)

They made quite a big group of wabbity dogs…

I am very proud of my baby Bella I do hope she wins some rosettes. Speak soon… Peaches xx

 

Bella’s photo shoot!

Woof, just before Christmas little Bella went with Mummy a Daddy to look at their friend Chris’s new photography studio in the beautiful grounds of Renishaw Hall. Whilst they were there he very kindly took some photos of her, how could he resist she was about 10 weeks old then and sooo cute!

Bella really enjoyed herself, Chris laid on the floor and Mummy let her go a few feet away so she ran towards him, she thought it was a fab game and jumped all over Chris when she got to him. She sat in a tin bath and had fun jumping back out and also had some shots whilst Mummy held her. At the time Mummy and Daddy thought how on earth will he get one decent shot as she was wriggling and running around the studio, we were all so stunned when we saw these photos of her, I am particularly proud of my baby Bella, she definitely has my looks;)

If you would like a shoot with your doggy friends then give Chris a call, you can have a studio session or outside in the beautiful gardens and parkland of the hall, Peaches x
