Six Months Old

Hi.. Kofi here. Just wanted you all to know that I was exactly six months old yesterday. To celebrate such a momentous day in the life of a young pup like me Sally took me back to training classes - now I am in the Bronze class (Kimba is in the Gold class). Sally said that I wasn't very good really.. and Phoebe's mum said that it was good to see that even I could have "off days". So Sally said we will have to work hard over the next week cos usually I am the best in the class.

On Friday I had adventures. We went to the meadows and I went off chasing Kimba - then I spotted what I thought was Sally going back to the car and that she was going without me. So I slipped under the gate and on to the lane where Sally's car was. But when I got out on to the lane she wasn't there so I ran around the lane looking for her. Then 2 people called me and put me on a lead and took me back inside the gate to find Sally. She had been calling for ages... and was very grateful to the people for catching me and bring me back because apparently it is very dangerous to be out and about on lanes. Now she says we will have to be more careful where Kimba & me are both allowed off the lead so we can't just run off chasing anymore! Hope you like my 6 month portrait pictures.

So pleased I've got a brother.. I think!

Kimba here.. it has taken me a long time to recover from my exhausting holiday on the beach. I know I'm a Springer and I should be able to run and run but my little brother is a very good chaser and he's getting quite fast now. We had great fun on the beach together.

I'm really pleased Sally got me a little brother because most of the time we have great fun playing and chasing around. I do get a little bad tempered with him when he tries to sneak up and pinch my bed or nick the toys I have reserved to play with (i.e the toys I think I might play with.. or might not as the fancy takes me!!!!)

Here is a picture of Me and Kofi at our holiday home.

The Crow on the Beach

Hi.. Kofi here!

I'm just back from my very first holiday... I am writing today because Kimba is too shattered to do anything but sleep. I am sure he will write more about the holiday when he has recovered in a few days.

I loved the beach. We went twice a day and had a great time... running after Jack's ball, playing with Kimba, paddling in the sea, and chasing the birds.

One day I had a great game with a crow... although Sally says she thinks it might be better put that the crow had a great game with me! I first saw it perched on a sand dune at the top of the beach. I thought I could catch it so I ran towards it as quickly as I could... but just as I had very nearly got there it flew up it the air. And it flew round and round in circles... so I went round and round in circles chasing it. It led me down to the sea... and back up to the sand dunes. Sometimes it swooped down low and I jumped really high to try and catch it... but every time I just missed it. The crow squawked at me... Sally & Nan thought it was laughing at me! Once it sat down on a rock and but again just as I nearly got there it flew up into the air again. I ran and ran and ran ... then I spotted a bit of fish which I thought would make a good snack.. but Sally said not and put me on my lead. And that was the end of the game when I very nearly caught a crow.

Here are some pictures of me on the beach and one of me having a rest afterwards.
