Day 3, 4 and 5

Friday 29th, Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st May 2009

Racing Days

some of our team memebers at the open ceremony

Friday was the first day of racing. The open ceremony started around 8:30, all 73 teams from Europe joined in the ceremony. It was a short ceremony as there were a lot of racing to do in two rings.

There is nothing much to say in these three days as we were racing (both our teams were in Division 3), watching other teams racing, chat about the racings ...

the Teams

GB Racing "Standing By"

Note: It was very different racing in the Euro, back home, Blue Lane is on the Left and Red Lane in on the Right; in the Europe, other than they drive in the wrong side to us, they also race in the wrong side of the lane to us, their Blue Lane is on the Right and Red Lane is on the Left! For the annoucement, when two teams are racing, they will always annouce the next two teams to "standing by" in the UK but in the Euro, they said "prepare you". I was wondering what does than mean for a little while but you just get used to it after a while. In the UK, we have Round Robin, if there are 7 teams in the division, you get to race 6 times in the Round Robin but in the Euro, we only get to race ONE in the morning and ONE in the afternoon.

and you still get the 2 minutes warm up time

this is our Becky racing Zak. She is only 10 but she is probably the best handler out there. Her start time is perfect every single time. I have never seen her releases her dog early and never get a light. She ran the start dog for the Wimbledon Woofers Team and in this efc 2009, she ran for GB Running. She was awarded for the BEST Young Handler. Well done, Beck! We are very proud of you!!

and this another young handler at Euro, she is running a blue merle sheltie called Rocky

this is Rocky again, doing a run back at the warm up

Rocky taking off


here are some photos I've taken while watching the racings:

some teams like to put a board in front of the box for a quick practise/reminder during the warm up time. A lot of fast dogs have a beautiful swimmer's turn.

and some teams like to paint their dogs! This little JRT got his tail painted an Austrian Flag colour red-white-red! Actually they have painted all the dogs in the Team but you can't quite see in the collies

I think us English are kinder to our dogs, we just wear a wet coat with "come on England" painted on the coat, not the dog!

or ... wear a bandana, here display by our Team Captain Ray and his dog Bramble

and not forgotten some supporters! He obviously is a Dutch supporter!

and this German young lady platted her hair in style, with the German flag colours!

Almost every single dog that races in efc wore a harness ... Power Harness is one of them!

here is my proud Sing with his special label SING harness

this gorgeous Aussie, she has a power harness too and she is a POWER DOG

sorry, no idea what breed he/she is but he/she also wear the power harness

and this Beardie, she wore a power harness too

and this little fast and furious dog wore a slightly different type of power harness

what do you think about this shepherd dog?

I like this pirate harness from Czech

Ray & Karen ring party, I don't know what they look like that?

this little Papillion x JRT from Hungary is sooooooooo fast!!!

this collie is after the dog in the next lane not the ball!!

one of the English Teams, Kiddy Monsters!

poor tired Sing after the Final, he can hardly stand up!

I like this series of photos of Saturn ... he is watching and cheering

and finally some videos from our racing, I randomly picked three racings as they are not like Agility where you have different courses, some of you might be bored after watching the dogs running up and down fetching the ball again and again:

Not to forget to mention, they have some great entertainment on Friday and Saturday night. I was so tired after the racing, so we retired to bed fairly early (around 10pm ish). I know some of our team memebers went over to the entertainment tent to enjoy themselves and got drunk till 3am and still be able to race the next morning! On Friday night, they have one of their own band singing all night long. Eventhough I tried to sleep but the music was so loud and I actually singing along with them in my tent. Sing and Saturn seem to get annoy everytime I sing, they either lick me to shut me up or sit on top of me so I cannot sing!!! I must admit by 12, I was very tired and wish the music would stop but they still going on and on ... until I hear this song:

I woke up next morning singing ... I am not English, I am not French, I am not Dutch, I am not Spanish, Portugese or German, I am in Belgium so thank you very much ...

ah Bless!

Little Bless is one week old today. How time flies!! He has definitely grows a lot in the last 7 days. His fur is getting longer; the fur on his ears are growing; his pink paw pads slowly change colour, into blackish; his body is getting longer (and fatter!), I don't think he can sleep comfortably on the heat pad much longer!! He started to lift his head a lot and he likes to stretch a lot too! He weight 16.5oz, not quite double of his birth size but I think he is doing very well. He kinda put on about 1.5oz - 2oz a day.

I have received a few emails asking me if I am keeping him ... er ... NO!

I also started to think of names and only came out with this one ...

LICOSATERIA MAI PRECIOUS BLESSING

MAI which I picked out from Sing's KC name and it sounded like MY

PRECIOUS which I picked out from Gem's KC name

any idea welcome!

Also, friends asked me where does LICOSATERIA comes from. Well, originally I applied for SATERIA but the Kennel Club rejected time after time. Sateria is a Malay word for KNIGHTS. Then, last year I was at Crufts with Sing, Kennel Club had a stand there so I walked in to apply one more time, again, they rejected it, reason being there is already an affix PATRIA which they think is very similar to my SATERIA. Luckily I did think of a 2nd name, so I added LICO in front of it, LICO in Japanese mean smart and intelligent, so we have "smart intelligent knights" for my affix. Coincidently, LICO sounds like LIan + COlin!

mixed weekend

Sing and I had a mixed weekend.


Saturday - Thames agility show

I was so happy to be back doing agility again after a long time spending on Flyball. I know I am rusty but I am still as keen as I was before. The boys were in the same classes, Saturn in Grade 4 and Sing in Grade 5.

We had an early start of the day, the Eukanuba mini/midi pairs and Combined 3-5 Jumping were the first classes in the morning. I was still tired and lack of sleep being puppy watching. Bless is doing well, he is a real time waster, I love sitting there watching him twitch. LOL! I tried to remember the two different classes hard as they are not easy flowing courses, they both need handling. As we were nearly towards the end of Part 1 in the Eukanuba pairs, so I have to do the Jumping first.

It was very funny, there is no queue in the Jumping (very unusual for medium!!), eventhough my running order with Sing was in the middle and Saturn at the end but I have to go in early. After watching a few people ran their dogs (all had faults!), I got very nervous. I shouldn't have watch people ran their dogs really. This Jumping course was very tricky, lots of snake, push through, pull through ... at the end, I think I will forget what to do, pull or push?

Sing ran before Saturn, I know he is not a fast boy and I could keep up with him, so hopefully we can managed a clear round. I don't like the beginning, I have walked the beginnig two different ways, either a front cross or pivot turn (like I did with the boys). The front cross maybe ok with Sing but it would be very tight for Saturn because jump #3 was in a tight angle. I decided I will try pivot with Sing, hopefully he will not take the finish jump which he almost did but I managed to get him back, so he turned very wide on that jump. I have to say I am very please with the rest of the run, he did the snake, the push through and our last three jumps of two pull throughs, I am more than happy we did it clear and smooth.

I did the same with Saturn. His pivot turn from jump #2 was tight, so there is no problem there. My worried was the last three jumps of pull through. I thought of doing a push instead of pull with him as I know he is faster and I maybe standing in the wrong place and I did stand in the wrong place of the last snake jump and I wasn't quite there for a pull through and I didn't stand my ground so he missed the second last jump who cost him a refusal, or else his time would gives him a lovely trophy! Arrrrggghhh ... more work on pull through!!

BTW, there was only 7 clear round in the Jumping course!!!

Our second run was the Eukanuba mini/midi pairs. It is a shamed that Eukanuba is not sponsoring agility anymore, this mean we will not qualify for Crufts! Hopefully some other company will continue sponsoring this event. It is always a good event. I only started to do this pairs towards the end of last year and we only did one heat. This was our first one of this year.

Sing was pairing with a gorgeous Blue Merle sheltie Kodak. Saturn was pairing with his usual partner, the pocket rocket Bracken. Again, this is a little bit tricky course, you have no choice to stand where you suppose to stand, this means handling needed. You can see from the video, I have to run outside of the box which I do not mean to do that. I didn't walk it that way either!! To be honest, I didn't even think of walking that way, I have two different options working in the box, the Sing way and the Saturn way but I didn't run it either way at all. I was surprised by Sing's speed which I have no time to go in the box, so I have to run from outside and he was a good boy to take my cue "around" (means going around), and he got his weave entry which was very good for him. He went clear on his part. Kodak started off very nicely until Amanda knock the bar down, then I think they haven't have time to pull themselves back so Kodak went into a wrong entry that gave him another 5 faults. This is our first time pairing and I really enjoyed that. Thanks, Amanda.

Saturn was pairing with the little dynamo Bracken. She is a pocket rocket, she went like a flash, if you blink, you will miss her. Saturn did a smooth clear round too, not a fast one like I wish. I also handle him from outside of the box and got to switch behind the weave. Do I have to say anything about little Brax? I can tell you this pairs finished in a very good time and put us in the 2nd place out of 115 pairs! Thanks to Matthew for pairing with us.

I nearly miss walking the Combined 3-5 Agility course! By the time we finished the Eukanuba pairs, I quickly walked over to the Agility ring and the judge was clearing everybody out of the ring in order to start the class. I told her I just got there if she could allow me to walk it. Thank God she was a nice kind judge. I only got to walk the course ONCE and in speed because she asked me to run. Luckily it was an easy course, not too much of handling but there is one bit that I wasn't sure what to do. I thought I will watch a few people do it before I run my dogs. Sing was in the middle of the running order and Saturn was last. Again, there is no queue and I have to run Sing very early. I thought let's blast it. I put Sing on stay but he released himself before me so I have to catch up. The A Frame to the jump was a slight angle and from the jump to weave is another slight angle. Luckily Sing is a technically good dog, he will take anything in front of him. So, Jump-A Frame- Jump-Weave, no problem. The only problem was he got caught in the 3rd pole that slow him down in the weave, I think it must be the speed that he came down from the A Frame then jump then weave that he has not been able to control his speed. The bit that I was worried was the three jumps after the see-saw. I am hoping to be able to stand on the right hand side of the see-saw (so Sing is on my left) but then I am not too sure if he will stay on the see-saw if I am from a distance, so I decided to do the front cross in front of the see-saw and I am on the left. I now have to trust him to go around (outside) the jump (flip) before the dog walk and not to take the other jump. Thank God he listened when I told him "walk on" when he took the jump, he just ran straight up the dog walk and yes, he did a beautiful running dog walk, two front paws hit on the spot. YEAH! My last worried has now clear, we can just ran straight home!

After Sing's ran, I sat there to watch the others ran their dogs before I ran Saturn. I saw so many people did a different ways to me and that made me think did I handle Sing the correct way? Anyway, I thought I've ran Sing and that's it. As I was "hiding" underneath a tree to get some shed waiting to run Saturn, Lin who was ring party in the ring came to tell me Sing was on the lead. I thought he won't be on the lead for long as I saw so many fast dogs on the queue. Then, one by one, they all got fault ... even the most reliable fast one got caught on the weave entry. OH! I don't really want to win NOW, I am hoping to do the Kennel Club International Festival Novice Cup with him!! If he wins, he won't be eligible then. Unless Saturn beat him! Well, we all know it is impossible. I thought I will try to push Saturn so it made Saturn's run worst. Maybe I was handling him in a different way, he decided he will stand on top of the A Frame and he pull out at 4th pole! Tough! Sing is now up to Grade 6. I am very proud of him. I never dream he will be a Grade 6 dog, let alone beating all 88 dogs in the class with 28.561 seconds. I was told he was 2 seconds faster than the 2nd place. WooHoo!

Our last class was Graded 3-5 Jumping. After walking the course, I got Colin to bring the boys to me so I can ran early and go home to Bless. When I've got my dogs, the ring party told me it has to run by Grade, so Grade 3, then 4 then 5. Our car was park very far away from the ring (10 minutes walk) and it was roasting hot. I decided to keep the boys with me. We sat under a tree to stay cool, Saturn was very excited. I tried to calm him down but he just wouldn't clam down, by the time for his ran, he actually got very tired (we were waiting for 30 minutes). I thought is it worth running him now but I did ran him and he wasn't running properly. Sing was ok until he got his leg caught on the bar (the jump after the weave but the bar didn't drop), then he slow down a bit, afterwise, I think he was good.

Basically, me and they boys had a great time!

here are the videos of the day:

Sunday - Flyball tournament at RSPCA Southridge Animal Shelter

Sing had a VERY BAD day at Flyball. I can't believe he ran off every single legs in the first race. That is not like him! He has never make a single mistake since I started racing with him. He wasn't racing at all yesterday! Flyball is Sing's everything, he will do anything for it and I can't understand why he did that. On the first leg, he was eyeing on the last collie on the other team, by the time he realised he has to run back, he already passed the first jump so he ran all the way outside to come back.

The 2nd and 3rd legs, he seems lost. He again, ran back on the outside, he ran all the way to get pass the ring, I wonder if he is looking for Colin? Luckily there was somebody try to catch him for me. This is very unusual for Sing. He has never done that before and there were no dogs around there.

He was better in the 2nd and 3rd race but ran off again on the 4th race. The last race, he was a good boy again.

Sing's box turn

Sing-let

Little Sing-let is 3 day-old and he already put up another 20z, makes him now 110z! Gem continues to be a good mum, I've actually left them with my mum and nephews today to go and did an agility show.

110z big fat sausage!!

I've received quite a few emails asking me what am I going to call little Sing-let. Well, when I got him home on Wednesday, I was calling him SIVE (aka expensive) but then later found out his mum, Gem had a litter last July with her previous owner. Poor Gem had three puppies died inside her and needed a c-section. I wasn't informed about all these before until Kevin found out Gem had a badly stitch from her previous c-section that cause little Sing-let wan't able to born naturally. Well, I was very upset and crossed with her previous owner. If I were to know Gem had a c-section before, I will not breed from her at all, there is no way I will take the risk. Anyway, with all we have been through, I now call this little boy BLESS. He is a little blessing to me and Gem. He will be the one and only child from Gem.

continue ... EFC diary

Gem and pup are doing well, we managed to move back to our bedroom last night to have a good night sleep. I woke up at 3am just to check they are ok, both look so content, so I went straight back to bed. Little Sing-let is now finding hin own way to different teats, he is one lucky boy, all teats to himself!

Now, we better leave the puppy post and continue with our EFC diary ...

Day 2

Thursday, 28th May 2009

relaxing day for us, arrival from all the other teams

flying the union jack

We woke up nice and fresh that morning after a good socialisation in the club house last night with some nice Belgian people and Belgian beers! After a cup of coffee and a simple breakfast, we decided to move our tent! Yes, MOVE our tent. Guy said we have the others to join us today and we can't possibly fit everyone in, so we have to plan the tiny space we have. After a rough idea where the others are going to put their tents, with Colin's help, I managed to rotate our tent with no big problem. Luckily the ground was soft, pulling out the tent pegs weren't bad at all but I have to push the pegs down every now and then especially when it was windy. I really enjoyed the tent, I think we have a good buy there.

this is Karen showing you our camping area, where she stands should be another car park there, our tent is next to the motorhome on the right hand side.

After we settled the tent, we decided to walk into the town to have a look around. We took Sing and Saturn with us. It was a very hot day and walking along on the pavement made it even hotter and we didn't realised how far we walked. We saw some very nice sculptures outside people house and also they have some wonderful scarecrows outside the house too! It was a shamed that we didn't take the camera along. We thought we would walk again sometimes before we leave Putte but obviously not.

By the time we got back from our town walk, all the other team members have arrived.

It was really a hot day, I ended up restless and fell asleep again! See, I can't be too relax, I am such an excited people, I need a job or something to do all the time!!

The showground was big, they have their own club house (belong to the Belgian Flyball Team), in the field, they also have some funny agility equipments. Look at these ...

Saturn trying out the BIG tyre

Sing wanted to have a go too

boys posing in front of the sponsor Pro Plan Purina tent

Saturn is not sure about this see-saw, with slat on a short rough plank and a tyre at the bottom, when the see-saw tip, it bounce up and down like a yoyo!!

and this is the extra wide dog walk with very thick slat that both Sing and Saturn were not keen on

After we have a good walk around and play with the funny equipments, we followed Guy & Ray to a nearby supermarket to stock up some food. We didn't bring anything with us so we were desperate for something to eat and drink.

We finished the day by having a lovely BBQ, generously cook by Guy and some lovely wine/beer and chit chat.

Sing-let & Sizzle

Little Sing-let continues to thrives. He is happily suckling on his own now but I still need to make sure Gem didn't "push" him away everytime he suckles. I guess poor Gem is very sore from the operation, imagine you have two tiny feet keep pushing for milk, she really is a very good mum. I think I can retire back to my bedroom tonight without any worries, I am dying for a good night sleep!

for a strange reason, this little one keeps hiding himself inside Gem's bum!

Poor Sizzle is dying for attention. I promise him I will play with him after I have a good rest tonight.

little Sing-let

little Sing-let has arrived!

he was born by c -section at around 1:30pm, weight 9oz.

Gem gave me a scared this morning. Colin and I were sleeping with her last night, she was digging her whelping box from 12 midnight but nothing have happened. I started to see a dark filled water bag at 6:40am and thought it was her water bag and puppy should come soon, obviosuly NOT.

I took her to the vet at 8:30, Kevin have a good look at her, her water bag was still intact and he can feel the litte tail inside her. As the water bag has not broken, Kevin suggested I took her home to see if she will give birth naturally in the next three hours. I didn't even dare to blink but nothing pop out, so off we go back to the vet at 1pm. Kevin had another feel at her and confirmed her water bag has broken and she started to dry out, this time, with Kevin's end finger, he can feel the hind leg's hock and he decided he would not wait any longer.

I left Gem with Kevin for the c-section, waiting impatiently at home. Kevin said it should be over within an hour but it took him three hours as we found something else (not going to go in detail). It took Kevin a while to get the little man to breath on his own.

I am so glad mum and little boy is home now.

mother and boy are well

EFC 2009 diary - exciting journey begins ...

Day 1

Wednesday 27-05-2009

exciting journey begins ...

Colin always gets VERY excited everytime on the night before we travel. He don't normally sleep well (don't sleep at all to be precised!) because he can’t wait to get away! I guess his work is very stress, holiday/break means a lot to him but poor me having someone so close fugitive all night could be terrible especially I have to drive all the way from Mitcham to Putte!

We left home just before 6am heading towards the famous white cliff, Dover. The traffic was very good in the early hours; we got there just before 7:30am, plenty of time before our crossing. We found a nice place called “Sampshire Hoe” to walk Sing and Saturn. Just imagine these two will be left in the car for at least 3 hours, so I make sure they have a good run around before they got stuck.

Sing saw this warning sign by the carpark at Sampshire Hoe.

I was very worried and stressed just in case we see them but Colin said it is so cold that morning, he don't think the cold blooded adders would like to appear and thank goodness we didn't see a thing!

handsome boy Saturn posing in front of the famous white cliff

Saturn obviously had a good time running around chasing rabbits for at least half an hour. He is a real hunter.

Sing on the other hand keeps looking out for the sea, he really is a water baby!

We got to Dover Port Norfolk Line Terminal at 9am, an hour before our crossing. Luckily it wasn’t busy and we got through the custom check with no problem. Emmm ..., we did take longer than the other cars though because the Officer fell in love with Sing and Saturn. He took his time to admire the boys and got his colleague to come over to say hello to the boys too.

To be honest, I got very nervous about the crossing. I’ve never drive the car onto the ferry before and I do not know what to expect. I also worried about leaving the boys in the car. People who knows me understand SEA + ME = UH UH. I have to take the travel sickness pill to be able to stand on my feet. Eventhough I was worried about how the two boys will cope in the car without anyone there with them but it didn’t last long as I fell asleep before the boat starts sailing! I woke up half an hour before we reached Dunkerque. Colin told me the sailing was smooth, when we got back to the car, there is no vomiting so I supposed the boys were doing alright.

We arrived at Dunkerque around 1pm, their local time (12 noon UK time) but we didn’t get out until 1:30 and Karen was already waiting to guide us. Thanks to Karen and Guy, we followed them all the way to Putte. Colin was supposed to drive in the Europe but he chicken out at the very last minute, so I have to be brave to do the “wrong side” driving! Luckily I’ve got Karen to follow. I've just set my "tunnel vision" on Karen's van and look no further. Most of the journey was on the motorway, so we can’t really see the car from the opposite lanes which is good or else I will get panic. There was a part that we have to drive through a town and the traffic lights changed were so fast and I have missed Karen and Guy a couple of time but managed to catch up, phew!

Our AA route map said it was 2 hours drive from Dunkerque to Putte but it took us 3.5 hours to get there! Poor Sing and Saturn have been stuck in the car for nearly 7 hours by the time we got to Putte! As we were following the others, we can’t stop to get the dogs out. I feel so sorry for them.

The weather wasn’t good on the day, it drizzle all the way from Dunkerque to Putte. I started to regret we didn’t bring the caravan! Can you imagine to set up the brand new tent in the rain with strong wind? We kinda managed to put the tent up, not sturdy but good enough to sleep for the night.

we shopped around a few camping stores to find this Outwell Carolina 3 tent. Colin and I like it very much and decided we will pay £199.99 for it. It has a reasonable size sleeping area (Sing & Saturn were sleeping with us, so it is a good size) for the two of us with a large porch area where we can sit inside if it rains. You have a front door and a side door too and it is easy to put up (well, I think so.), only 4 pieces of metal and it's up but it definitely needs two people.

the boys are happy to sleep in this big plastic bag for a week

We (Guy, Karen and us) were almost the first teams that arrived on Wednesday. All the other arrived on Thursday. The camping area has marked out for each team. The Wimbledon Whizzers has sent out two teams. We only get a tiny space to squeeze in 16 people plus 20 dogs! This is very different to agility where you get ample space, big enough to set up your own garden. Between us, our coach, Guy has a big caravan + awning; we have a medium size tent; Karen slept in her van with her two dogs; our captain Ray has the tiniest tent to sleep in with his dog Bramble; then we have five people from Four Paws Racing to join us, they have one massive tent and one medium tent but bigger than ours; Rachel has a medium tent but also bigger than ours; Sue & Glen has a motohome and Kate, one of our box loaders has a camper van. Just imagine we need to put everything in the allocated space with our cars! It was too much, at the end, we have to ask our neighbour, the Welsh PODS team to allow us to park my Volvo at their camping spot.

even my camera can't fit everyone in!!

While I was setting up our tent, Colin took the boys for a good run. After we were all done, we walked around the show ground. The Flyball Club that ran the EFC this year has their own club house and they sell Belgian beers!! WooHoo!! I don't drink but I like my Hoogarden and they now have Hoogarden Citroen, fantastic! It is a very refreshing beer! I even sneak out once to have my own beer without telling Colin!!

We went to bed quite early that night after a long journey.

more to come ...

Europen Flyball Championship 2009 Putte, Belgium

We came back from Belgium a week ago, how time flies! We have been very busy trying to catch up with what we missed while we were away. As metioned in the earlier posts, Sizzle was under the weather for a few days; Samber is in season; Gem is looking good, her due date is Thursday, so finger crossed for an smooth easy birth.

this is one of the teams we took with us to Putte, GB Racing

from left to right:

Sing, Scrumpy (aka Monkey), Merlot, Chablis, Phoenix

Wimbledon Whizzers and Four Paws Racing joined together to take two teams with them to EFC 2009. GB Running and GB Racing. GB Running has 5 of the Wimbledon dogs (Zak, Bramble, Tally, Blue & Maddie) + Shilo, a little JRT from Basset Allsorts Flyball Team. Sing & Phoenix from the Wimbledon joined GB Racing with three collies from Four Paws Racing Flyball Team.

Big Congratulations to GB Running who came 2nd in the Division and we came 6th in the Division. All dogs got a lovely medal.

here are a series of action photos of Sing taken at EFC 2009

more news to come ...

Sizzle is better!

Sorry I haven't update about Sizzle for a couple of days. We have been busy.

Sizzle was still weak on Friday evening. Although my vet said not to feed him that night but he was looking for food, so I gave him a small amount of food to satisfy him. We then have a quiet night with no more vomit and diarrhoea. YEAH!

He woke me up about 5am on Saturday morning, he did have a couple of loose toilets, I tried to feed him small amount of food and pro-kaolin; in the late afternoon, he started to look better. I wonder was it Samber that perked him up. Samber is in season and all Sizzle wants is to chase her!

He might not be 100%, he still gets tired easily but he is definitely on the mend.

Sizzle: life is better if I can get her!

Sizzle

I've got Sizzle back this evening from the vet. He certainly perk up when I went to collect him. Kevin gave him exactly the same treatment from last time. I did asked Kevin if he can used the same leg (his right leg) for the drip but when I pick him up, he has the girlie purple bandage on the left leg, arrrggghhh ... Now, he has two bald patches on two different legs, poor little mite!

BTW, I don't think his vomitting and diarrhoeaing is stoping, as we pulled the car on the drive, he started to throw out, he vomitted those foamy yellowish yukky stuff, then immediately he rushed to the garden for more diarrhoea. I thought he has finished so I wash his bum but he rushed into the garden again for more!!

Oh dear! I don't know what to do?

Sizzle with his girlie purple bandage on, very cute.

poor Sizzle

My little Sizzle is poorly again. It is like the one he had before. I got him home on Tuesday late aftenoon, he was a livewire, full of energy, glad to be home and checked on everyone. We did a bit of weave practise on the Wednesday morning and he was dashing about. He started to vomit at Wednesday midnight, there were a lot of it, at least 10 lots and they were all the foods he has taken in; then on Thursday he started to have diarrhoea, it contains blood. He wasn't interested in any of the food at all, so he didn't have anything to eat for at least 24 hours and he is still diarrhoea this morning. I took him to the Vet this morning and Kevin is keeping him for more fluid.

SATURN, 4 today!

Happy 4th Birthday to my Wonder Boy!

we are back!

Hello friends!

We are back!

Sing & Saturn enjoyed their freedom

running off the lead! WooHoo!!

Give us a couple of days to recover and I will write our EFC 2009 diary.
