My quiet period, ha ha!

When we waved goodbye to Nina's pups at the end of September, Graham and I were looking forward to a bit of a break from babies for a few months because much as we both love having the puppies and kittens, they are a huge commitment and normal life has to be worked around them, but someone, somewhere decided that we are not due that break just yet :-)

Firstly we took on our lodger cat for a friend whilst she recovers from hospital treatment, she presented us with two delightful kittens, which are proving to be cracking little boys

Then, completely out of the blue I was contacted by a Russian film crew, who are making a program about pedigree cats, asking if they could come and film my cats as they wanted to film them in the place of their origin. I have no idea why I agreed to do this as I hate having my picture taken, let alone being filmed for Tv, on the other hand my daughter is terribly excited about it, lol. Will let you know how badly I embarrass myself after the event.

Then this weekend I had a call from the owners of Nina/Cash pup Genie (the tiny pup that we had nicknamed Penfold). Unfortunately due to a very traumatic experience a while ago, one of their existing dogs was unable to deal with having a bouncy pup living with her, so the owners have had to make the heartbreaking decision to return him. I cannot stress enough what a fantastic start they have given this boy, he is a real credit to them and the work they have put into his socialisation is very evident. I would dearly love to say he could stay with me, but it just isn't practical, and I really feel that given the attention he has already been given, I would like to see him find a home where he is able to be the centre of attention. I am therefore going to be looking for a new home for him and will be giving priority to someone who can offer him a similar home to the one he ha come from (and someone prepared to continue his raw meat diet would be the icing on the cake). He i already changing colour and I think he will be a stunning steel blue when he matures. He is going to be a small boy, like his dad, but also like his dad, he has a great cobby shape and I really think that he would hold his own in the showring. These pictures were taken within two hours of him being dropped back, showing just how confident he is.
