To Points-Unknown..... Off They Go!

I feel quite spoiled to have seen Linda twice in such a short space of time, but it was a long time in the making after years of friendship, finally, we get to be together not just once.... but twice! Along with Linda came Neil, her fiance who is just adorable and a great match for Linda and her life with dogs and along with them came Hailey, who is a close friend of their's and just super with dogs.

Due to really cold temperatures it wasn't possible to fly the pups to MN as originally planned but instead, Neil.... being the wonderful person that he is, drove there and back over a period of 4 days taking the two pups with him on his return journey. A very long way to travel in a short space of time so what a gem he is to do that! It was just lovely having a house full despite my visit to the ER due to a chronic cough and body pains which turned out to be Bronchitis... what a tough few days for me at a time when I just wanted to do so much with my friends. Still, we made the most of it and the important thing was to simply be together and we were!

We had a great visit with Caroline and Andy, spending a little time in the dogyard with their equally lovely doggies. Big thanks to Kim and Kelly for hanging out with us all and making our time together even more special. I know Hailey really enjoyed running dogs with you, that was a real treat and as I wasn't able to get my dogs out due to being sick, we really appreciated you guys stepping in and doing that for her.

Well, I'm still coughing up my insides here and just hoping to be well enough to be back on the runners and out in the fresh air! MISS you all !!!!

Aise (aka Grayvy)

Not only is she stunning but she's a fire cracker. Is was a true bond from the start between her and Linda. It's going to be fun hearing about their adventures together.

Kisses to Illy (aka Fruitcake)

A last snuggle with my sweet girl.

Hailey, Linda and Me

It was bitterly cold and Linda and I were both quite sick, Linda had a severe headache and something else going on and little did I know at this time I was battling bronchitis, though being upright was slowly proving to be a battle. What lousy timing to be so sick. Still, just being together was the most important thing and we gave it our best shot! It was great to finally meet Neil in person after many phone conversations and emails, it was as if we had seen each other many times over, just as it is with me and Linda. Hailey is a good friend to Linda and Neil and the dogs of Points-Unknown and just a sweetheart of a girl. Loved her energy and interactions with my dogs. I hope one day she can come and stay for a while and help me train the dogs.

Papa Tumac Meets His Babies

We had him on a leash as he came out to meet and greet his babies. They have had lots of sniffing through the chainlink but this was a first nose to nose with no chainlink inbetween. However with 3 girls in heat, visitors and lots of running around in the play area... he seemed a bit overwhelmed. However the pups were not! Here's Honey giving papa kisses.

Last Time For Seven At The Milk Bar

Daisy's toes hardly touch the ground as her seven pups lift her up so they can have another round at the milk bar before three of the pups leave for their new home. She's been an awesome mum and has really put her heart, soul and body into raising them.

"give me a belly-rub Hailey!"

Hailey and Zudnik

Quite a love-match! Hailey was wonderful with my Mals.
Come back soon Hailey !!!!

Linda's Here!

A last minute surprise gift from Neil to the pair of us, well.... almost surprise. So great as we get to meet for the first time 'ever', having been close friends for many years and Linda gets to meet my puppies and begin her bonding with the clan as she will end up with at least 2 puppies.
Linda only had 2 1/2 days, not much time at all. We could barely do anything other than a couple of runs with my dogs but at least it was something and we are both grateful to Neil :0)

Me and Linda

Love this photo!

Cookqiz Waits For Me To Give The Command To Go!

So great to see Linda and Cookqiz together since seeing her as a pup, Linda has only ever seen photos of her. Now they get to be together again.

We had a great time running dogs together. It felt as though we had run dogs together many, many times.
