Ready for the show ;-)

Easter Monday we have a show coming up and because I have time off from work untill Tuesday there's lots of time to go for walks with the dogs.
The weather has been quite OK the last couple of days but it has been raining a little as well so there's lots of water where we walk and the dogs just LOVE it!

I remember someone telling me Shelties do not like water, well..... I don't know where it went wrong but my dogs apparantly haven't read the same books about Shelties.

The biggest 'pig' we have is ofcourse Tinsel: It's hard to keep her clean for more than a day. Ever since Tinsel was a baby she knew perfectly well how to get herself dirty, her sister Aspen was exactly the opposite, never getting herself dirty being a real Princess :-)

Tinsel is a good teacher as well:
This is her and Tia, they are best friends and Tia is following Tinsel where ever she goes because you just never know when the excitement starts again :-(

Our 'oldies' also enjoy getting themselves dirty, here's Gale, she just turned 9 years at the end of March.
We almost lost her a little over a year ago, she survived thanks to the bloodtransfusion she had from our vet's Boxer so it's a great sight to see her enjoy herself so much :-)

And here's another one of our oldies:
On the left is our 13 1/2 years old Robin (Ch.Dawnville Darn Handsome), he still enjoys his walks with the younger ones and when you see him chasing the others it hard to believe he really is over 13 years of age. We hope he will stay like this for a long time to come, we so much enjoy our oldies and hope to have them around many more years.

It will be a lot of work to get the 2 that have to go to the show on Monday clean but untill Sunday they can get dirty as much as they like :-)
