It's been a while since I last shared pictures of the dogs (Or even posted at all!) here although I do still lurk. I got a new camera for christmas though and have been photographing the dogs ever since. Sorry about the quality, I'm still playing about with the camera and my editing software...

So I've been lurking for ages because I only had my phone but now I've got a laptop again so prepare for all the photographs you've missed recently! Fudge, Aura and Scamp are doing well. I've started hiking a bit more often and they are loving it. Not loving posing so much however...

How do those of you with long commutes find time to train and exercise your dogs? I have to travel an hour and a half each way for the next 3 days for work and I've just been working out my schedule and I have barely any time for the dogs! I have to leave tomorrow at 7:30 tomorrow to get to...

Diesel attacked Scamp earlier and left him with a couple of decent puncture wounds. I managed to patch him up mostly but after an hour I noticed that one wound was still bleeding. I was home alone and by the time help arrived it was 3 hours later and the bleeding still hadn't stopped. Rushed...

Untitled by tasfudgeheely, on Flickr Untitled by tasfudgeheely, on Flickr It actually didn't take that long to teach. A little bit of food, call their name, the fence really helped because they had to go through (they did try under but when that didn't get food they jumped) and viola...

Hard to believe I know considering the amazing lack of pictures caused by a certain dog chewing the cord for the camera. But I've got my new phone so here are some unspectacular pictures to prove I do indeed, still own dogs. Sorry for the awful quality! I took them up to the field the other...

If you have any spare time could you please edit out the white pole just where we are going to land? Please? I didn't notice it there beforehand (friend knocked it before we jumped) and it's really irritating me!

The dogs are getting new tags (or just tags for the younger dogs) and I want them to have taglines as well lol. Problem? I have no idea what to put on them and I am seriously not creative enough to come up with 6 different, interesting taglines lol. So we have: Tika (labrador)- 11 years...

What command do you tend to resort to when you panic? Mine is always down. It doesn't always help but I've always worked hardest on teaching a down and I usually teach it first. Unfortunately it's become sloghtly over used and I really need to do some retraining of it. So what's your...

That with how popular labs are people STILL seem to have this image of a perfectly calm dog that is very easy all of the time. Especially with Marley and Me and how popular that was. A friend is getting a dog and she texted me tonight about how they'd decided on a Labrador "because they're...

For something a little safer. I'm thinking swimming with sharks might be a good choice. Anyone got any nice sharks for sale? LOL

Diesel just jumping the weeds 001 by tasfudgeheely, on Flickr Aura just doesn't know what to think of the camera lol 006 by tasfudgeheely, on Flickr Yup ... Our garden is definitely not Taz proof. 008 by tasfudgeheely, on Flickr And he's started to teach Diesel. Luckily Aura's on the...

Technically he's not mine though lol. He was being kept in what amounted to a mud pit by a friend of a friend who offered him to my friend just to get rid of him. She took him but we're working with him together and keeping him here. We're going to play with him for a while and then sell him to...

The past couple of days I've had some pain in my lower back. I first noticed it when I was out riding but I still had 2 horses to ride so I we t ahead and it didn't seem to get any worse. Had a bath and a mild painkiller and it seemed fine. Got to this morning and i felt grand but noticed it...

Someone offered to give me a horse today. A 6 year old bay gelding that has been backed, done some jumping and is now just standing in a field doing nothing. Apparently he is quite a sharp horse who needs a lot of riding and schooling. The person that offered him to me specialises in...

Any one else had the experience of trying to catch a 17hh horse at 11pm who is in a blind panic? Without a torch. I can now truthfully say I have. Someone who lives very close by decided to set fireworks off tonight. Luckily I thought to check on the horses when I realised (I'm deaf to...

I'm doing my first 2 phase (show jumping and cross country) next week. Ive show jumped the horse before always at 90cm to 1m and I've jumped him higher at home. I've never tried cross country before but the horse is a hunter and has been hunted before. So without even thinking about it I put him...

Now that I'm away riding horses most of the day the dogs aren't getting so much playtime and training so I've decided to put a lot more effort into their leash walks. I took my four for a quick 3 mile walk tonight and then topped it off with some flirt pole. Since Aura spends most of her...

Amber 309 by tasfudgeheely, on Flickr This little mare is 15 years old, she's been brought in for me to fitten her up and get her back into condition. She wintered out this year and unfortunately it's easy to see. Hence the head shot as she's very thin and covered in mud. Tiger 282 by...
