Odin and Banshee are doing fine and they are as happy together as ever, after the long period of having been in season. I haven't been able to go on many walks just recently because the weather here is so bad. We are experiencing torrential rain and very windy weather conditions. When will it end? It really is no fun having to go out in this dull and dreary weather. Odin and Banshee spend a lot of time in the house, eating, sleeping and the occasional fight,...like they do. They are bored and I really sympathise with them. The summer is finally over and what a wash out it has been. I don't really mind the cold, but when the sky is covered in dark grey clouds, day after day, it really reflects on my mood and the dogs seem to feel the same. Lets hope for clear skies very soon...

 

Here are a couple of pictures I took this morning of the 2 rascals:

 

                                          

 

We have just come to the end of the season for Banshee. She is only 8 months old and to our amazement had come into season 4 weeks ago. It has been an absolute nightmare, trying to keep Odin and Banshee separated during this time. I am so glad things are back to normal now and they can finally play together again.

We had no idea that a young dog of only 8 months could come into season and we were quite unprepared for this to happen. I had to read up on things and even requested advice from our vet. Keeping them both separate for 4 weeks was extremely difficult, especially because we only have a small house and very little space.

I dare say we have learnt a valuable lesson over the past month. It's just nice to be able to return to normality and I can finally take Banshee for walks again.

In about 6 months time we will have it all to come again, but at least we'll know what to expect and plan for it.....

 

                       

 

                         

 

                                                                      

 

 

 

 

Banshee and I went on a lovely walk today. We went onto the mud path and returned, taking the mountain road. We had fantastic sunshine, alhough it wasn't hot. Just another really mild summer's day. Along the way, we came across an array of flowers and some tranquil scenery. We both enjoyed our walk immensely. Can't wait to go again tomorrow, if the weather holds out. I just couldn't resist to take some pictures of the beautiful summer flowers we encountered. Banshee was very curious about the sheep in the meadows. She would have loved to have had a little run-around with them in the fields I guess....lol. We shall take a different route tomorrow and I will take my digital friend with me again.

 

Here are a couple of todays photographs, taken from the current album:

 

                   

                                

                  

 

          

Good Morning Everyone

Another early rise for me. Odin kicked me out of bed at 5 o'clock this morning...again. He seems to need to relieve himself very early every morning these days... The funny thing is,...he goes back to sleep straight after and Banshee just coppies him. She's so cute. Her toilet training is still not quite complete yet, we still have the odd little accident, but she neeeds to go with Odin,...at 5 o'clock. Deary me, somehow I will have to try to catch up on some sleep...late nights, early mornings... I'm bushed, but once I'm up I can't go back to bed. Never mind,... here are a couple of pictures of my 'Early Morning Sleeping Beauties',....good as gold.
