Snow

CC sneaked into the backyard and I had to don all my winter apparel to go get her. In the entire snow covered yard she managed to dig one small bone out of somewhere and I spent the next 5 minutes chasing her round the yard to get it off her. Trouble.

Birthday at Tankerton

Couscous was one year old on Saturday. We took her to Tankerton on Sunday as it was sunny. Seems our favourite spot to take her. As it was out of season we were able to walk the whole length of the promenade with her for the first time. Lots of people stopped to rub her tummy. She was lovin’ it.

We’ve been a long time updating the blog. Troy no longer lives with us. He was a lovely people dog but didn’t really relate to CC, just ignored her most of the time. As we had wanted a playmate for CC we decided he had been the wrong choice. It was a really hard decision to make but in the end I think we did the right thing as I heard yesterday that he now lives on a farm and spends his days sleeping at the back of the farm shop. Great news. We are still considering getting CC a friend but will choose a small dog. She seems to love curly haired little things so that’s something to think about.

1st September

Just an update on how they are getting on. I think one of these shots is definately calendar worthy…

Day 6

They are getting to be more comfortable together but Lady CC still needs to get herself that little higher…

Greenwich dachshund meet

I took Lady CC to the Greenwich Park Dachshund meet for the Dachshunds in London club. There were about 15 little sausages running around while the band played. It was great. Lady CC was her usual aloof self but did let her hair down when she met Lily, a toypoodle/terrier cross. She and Lily had a major run around together – wonderful to see. CC was the popular one of the day I think. She had her photo taken a few times and various children would come over to pet her. She was the largest as all the other sausages where minatures. There was one other wire-haired one – tiny thing with curly fair fur.

Days out, Kent

Had a few days out this week with the hound. She loved her first sandy beach – I’ve never seen her so excited. She couldn’t get enough of the bloke who called her gorgeous.
