Heather heels free!

Around 13 months, Gemma started to ‘get’ heeling.   Around 13-14 months, Shadow did the same.

Heather’s brain arrived this evening, express post.  A week early.

She’s still a little terror for the first 20-50 metres (because of the yapping dogs next door stirring her up) but after 100m or so, I unclipped the [...]

All over black rover?

It’s been a thrill-a-minute here for the last couple of weeks.

Shadow did her utmost to convince everyone that she could come into season too; she still has me a little worried that she did, even though it is very unlikely that the bleeding was internal – it was just one symptom of a [...]

Careful, lest ye reap what ye sow...

Heather is still a few days out from the peak of her season, but she’s more swollen than Gemma or Shadow ever were.

Shadow has always been a bit of a nymphomaniac, so she’s been playing up to Finn and flirting with him mercilessly.  This has been good for me and for Heather, because [...]

Heather’s first season

A week ago, she had me believing that she would break the mould – Gemma and Shadow waited until they were about 13 months to have their first season.   Her behaviour shifted just a little, but the ‘signs’ as they say, were ambiguous at best.  Definitely something brewing there… so I kept an eye [...]

Happy birthday kid!

It hardly seems like it, but it’s been a full year since Heather and her brothers entered this world, in the wee small hours of the 21st of June 2009.

I managed to separate her from her Partner in Grime, Shadow, for just long enough to get her clean and off to a faraway [...]

Gunning Feb 2010

An hour closer, and an hour later in the morning to start – much more civilised!

Finn and Heather both did a better than average job, but less than their best.

Finn came away with Reserve Challenge, and Heather had to make do with first in class.  The eternal brides’ maids – always one [...]

Welcome, Cousin!

Heather’s first cousin (Finn’s niece) Belle dropped in for a visit this afternoon.  She’s about a month older than Heather, and it shows in her size.

It was a bit overwhelming for Belle at first, but she soon settled down and enjoyed most of the games that the Eweturn Clan play – apart from [...]

Bungendore 2010

Oh so early, oh so hot…

Heather was the most willing to work.  Apart from breaking into a gallop in the 6-12 sweepstakes, she did amazingly well for a pup who is still wet behind the ears.

She didn’t make the cut in sweepies, but she won her class, but fell in the Bitch [...]

Hanged, drawn and quartered?

Isn’t that the fate that awaits a traitor?

This morning, I had to wear a different hat on our morning walk because my usual ones were nowhere to be found, including the “Australian Flag” baseball cap I usually wear in the AM.

This morning, I discovered why it wasn’t anywhere I looked.

I found [...]

As a camera, it makes a good phone…

Some long promised photos of Heather’s first swim, and a couple of bonus shots from the memory card…

…along with the least-worst shot of Tiara tonight – Shadow’s sister!
