First I decided to get my Christmas Newsletter out and to do that,apart from writing it, I had to take pics of my dogs in Christmas Decorations and it rained for three days. I did manage to get some super pics of Fae on a colourful background which now... <a href="http://dogsplay.co.nz/dotcl/index.php?post/2012/12/07/Diary-of-the-last-few-days"><em>Read</em> Diary of the last few days</a></p>Diary of the last two weeksurn:md5:5b98b1769fdfe8b36ef9c873f82005912012-12-01T00:00:00+00:002012-12-07T01:15:25+00:00Raewyn SavillePersonal Ramblingsabused dogagilitydog behaviourFaemeningitisrescue dogsick dog <p>Oh dear the last two weeks have been a blur. First my computer has been down quite a bit doing funny things and not able to get to anywhere.

It was quite a lot of work to get ready and rehearse the show for a couple of weeks so that we wouldn't look completely unprepared.

Tonight is GuyFawkes night in New Zealand. Two days ago new people moved into my neighbourhood from South Australia. I thought I had better warn them about Guy Fawkes as they have cats and dogs newly uncrated from travel and in a strange environment.
They could not believe New Zealand still celebrated Guy... <a href="http://dogsplay.co.nz/dotcl/index.php?post/2012/11/05/Guy-Fawkes"><em>Read</em> Guy Fawkes</a></p>Playing Catchupurn:md5:2d3ba73f36d42babff14773d6a01df472012-10-28T15:29:00+00:002012-11-17T02:29:44+00:00Raewyn SavillePersonal Ramblings <p>My computer went on strike so for the last week I have been unable to do anything on my blog. Several wonderful events have happened over that time on Puddlduck Farm. First we had a kid to our goat Carys, a wee boy - Doogal.

Dogs can't tell the time - right. N.Z has just changed over to summertime. This means the clocks go forward one hour, so that what used to be 5a.m. is now 6a.m., but if I get up at the new 5a.m. it still feels like 4 a.m. and I am tired as by 6p.m. when it is still daylight till 8p.m. and I can't use it because I am so tired.... <a href="http://dogsplay.co.nz/dotcl/index.php?post/2012/10/03/Daylight-Savings"><em>Read</em> Daylight Savings</a></p>An Everyday Event - Rain or Shine.urn:md5:9822eb1913584dbde582203dc389556c2012-09-28T14:41:00+01:002012-12-07T01:35:00+00:00Raewyn SavillePersonal Ramblingsdogs as therapy <p>Every single morning of my life when I get out of bed I know that there is one thing that will happen no matter what and that is my morning dog walk.

Somewhere in the dim recesses of my mind ( and believe me I can get dim at times) is a thing that sayes 'frozen is not good for dogs'. However, sometimes in summer when the pressure is on, I have been known to give my dogs a frozen bone, which has not killed anyone yet.
