Today Dawn and I scrapped yay, after losing the little bird I was feeling really sad and it was good to finally have a scrap day after Dawn being away on Holiday!
Hounds were so well behaved that I actually finally finished this layout, I had done the stitching (my first stitching for 3 years what with all the hand ops). Layout was designed by Janina for Bramford crop although mine is a little different as I went off on a tangent LOL Photo is of me and my sister in 1968 I think . Our Gran had a small caravan at Felixstowe and although it's only about 12 miles from where we lived we had several wonderful holidays there. The fancy dress costumes were made by my Mum and Gran out of crepe paper with all the bits hand stitched onto them. Quite pleased with it.
Camera still playing up but did get a photo of the tee shirt I made Eric, well I didn't make the tee shirt just ironed on the design I had made.
The taylor pack are all happy and healthy and have enjoyed the rare glimpses of the sun we see.

oops
Not content with looking after 9 dogs and 4 ex battery hens I now have this little chap
found him in the garden last night, newly hatched but couldn't find nest or hear parents, so had to bring indoors and now have the job of hand feeding him wiggly yucky bugs! and let me tell you he gets very loud when he's hungry which is roughly every 15 minutes!
Camera still not working so just took this on mobile of Indy not quite fitting into a bed LOL.
Hounds all well and happy, life is hectic as ever but we seem to be coping.

ta dah!
I feel we have finally got a good working routine with the 9 dogs, we've had to make quite a few changes as Eric can no longer walk them all in one go so the day starts at 6am to get out and about early in the hope of not bumping into too many people and dogs as Rocky (blue foster greyhound) is very very keen on anything that moves on a walk and is a handful.
Whilst Eric is out with group one I quickly hoover and prepare their brekkie and when he takes group two out I go out and see to hens and poo pick (1st of 4 times yuck!).
Indy continues to be really good and went for 2nd part of jabs last night, he has gained 3.5kgs and now weighs 40.5 kgs! suspect he'll end up around the 45kg mark.
Elmo also had to go and see Mr Vet as a pimple on his head continued to grow and grow and then turned red and crusty at which point we got a bit worried. Vet aspirated it whilst Indy helped, boy does that dog like to help with everything, typing on keyboard can be tricky when he's helping LOL. Anyway pimple or lump as it now is has nothing sinister going on but better to play safe.
And just to prove how smug I'm feeling about looking after 9 dogs I even managed a quick digi layout of Ben riding his bike without the stabalizers.
Of course I'm sure when we get muddy paw days I won't be feeling quite so smug!
No hound photo's battery on camera dead so recharged them and still not working grrrr.
Little Ganlgey has had several bad days and even had to be carried home from a walk this week, today she is quite bright and perky and the treatment I've had made up for her from a lovely lady called Lori (homoepathic) has arrived and we're hoping it will help.
Several years ago Jim was plagued by corns no fun when you only have 3 legs, the vet hulled them twice but each time they came back quicker so we turned to Lori who with her treatment got rid of them for good. I am also now using the corn treatment, due to having problems walking and feet issues I also suffer from re occurings corns on the ball of my foot, have been using the drops for 5 weeks and corns have gone and just a small area of thick hard skin left which is growing smaller. So if you or your hounds need help check out her website here http://www.lorirosehomeopathy.co.uk/

Rocky doing well
Thought I'd better update Rocky's condition, well actually he's just fine and taken it all in his stride and we've had no problems.
Well actually we've had a problem, last night all 9 dogs wanted to sleep in our room and trust me when I say there isn't room for them all. Normally Elmo and Twizzle prefer the lounge and Rocky has been in the study but last night teddy bears were being thrown out of prams big time LOL. Took ages to settle them and keep everyone happy, thing Eric is going to have to build bunk beds at this rate.
Managed one photo this morning then batteries died, as you can see Rocky is just fine and found a good cushion to rest his head on. Poor Mojo everyone uses him as a cushion.
and a close up

.weather continues to be warm and dry which is making life so much easier, dreading a wet day and 35 muddy paws to wipe.

Rocky update
Poor Rocky hasn't had a good day. Vets were supposed to ring late morning with update, didn't actually ring till 2pm to say he had problems coming out of the GA and a bad recovery!
He's home now totally spaced out, minus his boy bits and a tooth poor lad and even worse no walks for 5 days and only allowed outside to do the necessary on a lead. Going to be such fun NOT with 8 dogs outside sunbathing and him stuck indoors with warm weather forecast as well.
At least he home, sent a message to Scott his owner but didn't say what a rocky day Rocky had as no point worrying him, we've done enough of that!
Not expecting much sleep tonight LOL.
