A Day Out at the Seaside

Kofi here.. we went to the seaside on Thursday and had a great time. Kimba and I played on the beach.. he went in the water but as I am a sensible little dog I thought it would be too deep for me so I just watched him chase the seagulls.

We went with Nan, Grandad and Jack. I had lots of admirers. I do try and say hello to as many people as possible because I know everyone in the world wants to meet me. Here are some pictures of our lovely day out. (The weather was really nice.. which is a great change as it rains most days where I live).

Off to Puppy School

Kofi here… I went to my first puppy class on Saturday morning and had a great time! There were nine puppies in the class including me.. and four of the others were liver and white Springers like me... except that they were all at least twice my size even though three of them were only about a week older than me!! Sally says I musn’t get a complex about it..cos Kimba was just the same as me and I am a very special type of small Springer.

The trainer (Kris) said I must have had an excellent breeder cos I am a confident little chap and I am very happy about being handled (that means being picked up and hugged which is one of the things I like best).

We did like paying attention when our name is called, and towelling down without playing with the towel, and picking up, and play-biting (how not to do it!) and we did some recalls and playing. I’ve got some homework to do before next week.. it was all great fun.

Kimba said to say that he went to a new class as well. He had the same trainer as me. It was much better than his old class cos there were 12 dogs and 2 trainers. They had to do recalls when there were lots of other dogs around and loose lead walking between other dogs. They also did spins and bows and he said he had great fun. Here are a couple of pics that Sally took of me on Friday on the patio.

Me and My Brother

Hi .. Kimba here. I' m writing this because my little brother Kofi has just crawled on to Sally's knee and gone to sleep... but he won't there for much longer because he is getting too big. I can see he is about to slip off any moment. He is my new best friend.. like any brother he can be very annoying .. specially when I want to sleep and he is full of beans but Sally gives my "my own space" so I don't get too cross.

But most of the time he is great fun and we love playing with toys that we can both get hold off. We run round and round the garden with them or just have a good old fashioned game of tag. He still is too little to go out for walks.. but Sally says he can go out in 10 days time. On Saturday he starts at puppy school. I'm going to a new class too - for improvers. Here are some pictures that we have had taken this week.

Hi.. I'm Kofi and I'm new around here!

Hello there. I'm Kofi and I am nine and half weeks old. I am Kimba's "sort of" brother not sure what "sort of" means but I think of him as my big brother

I moved here about a week ago from my first home where I lived with a lovely family of humans and my doggie mum who is called Holly and my four sisters and two brothers. But when Sally came to steal me away there were only two of the girls left (Roxy & Tally) - the others had already been taken to their new homes.

I have had such fun here in my new home. I play lots of the time with Kimba although Sally puts me in my crate when she thinks I'm bugging him! I like my crate because the green blanket in it smells of my doggie mum and littermates.

In the last week I have met lots of new family and friends... and Sally has carried me to the park, and round the local roads, and to the shopping cente to see how many people we can meet. I like everyone because they make a great fuss of me. Oh and I forgot I went to the vets - he looked me all over and poked and prodded and stabbed me with a metal stick... and I didn't mind at all! Here are some pictures of me and Kimba.
