Collars and Leads

Ooo, Helloings.

Mummy thought it would be a good ideas to show you our specials Leads.  Becausings we beings about the sames size, we can be doing walkings on coupling leads.  Mummy be finding this out, when she did breakings her wrist in 2010.

But, a conventional coupling lead attachment was not very goods for us, becausings, we be likings to have a separate leadings in the car. Our seat belt attachments attach on to our leads, and alsos when we do jumping in and  out of the car we do likings to do it separately.  With a coupling lead this was nots possibles, as we were attached to each other, with just one lead attached to the coupling.

So, we do bes askings @ShannowDog who do be making leads and collars - to be helpings us, by makings two short attachments, with clips on one end and D rings on the others, so mummy beings able to clip a lead on to both D rings.  We have very short handle type leads which attach on to the D rings.  This is great, because mummy can have two of the handle leads, and use one when we are on the coupling, and keep the other one in her pocket, or attached to our harness.  Because the handle leads are so short, they do not cause any bother to carry or left dangling.

The leads come in to bits

They can bit joined

If mummy needs to put us on individual leads in the car, then all she has to do is attach a handle to each of the D rings and she be havings a normal lead.

Also, because Katie is sometimes naught when she be seeings another dog on our walkings, Mummy do be needings to be keepings her on a very short lead,  the lead handles are ideal for this - Katie is only naught with seeings other dogs when she be on the lead, and when she be on her 'patch', which is usually when we do little walkings for a sniff and a wee near home.

You can just use the short handle as a grab lead

If you be liking our leads and you be wanting to trys them, or if you would like a lead making to your own design or would like collars making to your own design. @ShannowDog on Twitter has lots of fantastic colours and patterns and would make them for yous.  We will me havings matching sets of house collars and special lead sets for all occasions now! Bang goes our treat money! But, as they say, 'You can never have too many leads or collars or coats or treats'

Sunny Monday (too early) Mornings

Ooo, Good Mornings - as you can see, we weres up very earlies this mornings to do our walkings!  In fact it was a little too earlies for mes!  We did be havings breakfast first, and Mummy had a cup of Chamomile tea! 

Grace Puppy did her 100m Usain Bolt Gold Medal impression!

Mucky Puppy Day!

Todayings we did do walkings with our lurcher friends! Loki, Eli, Shannow and Bizkit.

Now this might be a bit of a shock to peoples who do not be owning dog! But, we like to be rollings in Poo.

We went to field and Bizkit did do findings big cow poo! He did rollings in it, so we all went a long to watch,  then we did eatings it too!  Mummy was well disgusted!  But it be what we dogs do!

Bizkit was covered!

Bizkit

@sheliloki 

We also be doings going through, over and around fence - which proved to be a bit of a challenge for Eli - so we had to bes helping him! I am a bit frightened of the big Lurcher crowd, so I stayed with Mummy and Katie  - apart from when there was some poo to be investigated!

We thens be comings homes, and Mummy bes having dinner, and then she goes to the pet shop, so we stayed at home and watch Lympic tennis to be seeings Andy Murray be doing winnings Gold!

Does Grace 'Wiggins' Puppy ever get Tired?

Also including Photos of very big puddle and updates on muddy puddle

After yesterdays long walkings, Katie decided it was her day to do sniffings and take it easy on her walkings!

It does be appearing to be a big question on Twitter and generally, 'Does Grace 'Wiggins' Puppy ever get Tired?

The answer to that is a resounding 'NO!'

That beings why do be called 'Wiggins' Puppy!

Bounce!

Stop Press News.....

We have managed to get photos of Carsington Water - but not of us, because they were taken by a friend, and not Mummy, who, as we keep sayings, is so un-organised, she forgot to be doings chargings of camera thingy!

Even more Stop Press News.....

We be doings walkings right down to 'Muddy Puddle' to see how he is! He is fine, and looking very healthy, but, signs of drying up are appearings on the mud to the front of him - but it has just done some rainings, so we be hopings this help him stay muddy.

But, beings after alls thats even a 'Wiggins' Puppy needs to do some relaxings!

Walkings, Cyclings, Lympics & Thomas

Good Mornings Everyones!

We did big walkings yesterdays - but silly mummy being sooooo unorganised forgot to charge the video camera up, so it did do stopping and not recordings - she did get one photo of Carsington Water, Near Hulland Ward, in Derbyshires!

It was very nice walkings, and to walk around the whole of the water, was 8 miles, and it be takings us 3.5 hours!

Katie:

I be doings trottings quite well, but, we were not alloweds off our leadings, becauseings, of the wildlife on the water, and becausings there are some busy roads near part of the walkings path.  I did very well because of my Pedigree Joint Care+, and I only got tired on the last couple of miles.

Grace:

I did be liking the walkings, it was so good, there were lots of different smells to sniff and things to whine at, and see.  After walkings we did be having meetings with other hounds who were at the visitors centre, and we did talkings to them, and had lots of fussings and treats.

Today though, we be very tired, and be watching lympics on telly - we do be thinkings that Lympics has gone to Mummy's head a little too much becauseings she bes sayings she has changed my Twitter name to Grace Wiggins - because I am very fast.

Years agos, before Mummys husband died, she did be doings cyclings a lots.  She had a very good racings bike, and did be cyclings into Derbyshires.  She  only gave the bike away last years, to a charity at the University, because she never bes using her bikings nows.  We be thinkings it do remind her to much of her late husbands, but also she be having a poorly back now.  But, Mummy be sayings also, now that she could not take us everywhere with her on her cyclings bike, so that is why she be havings a car!  Mummy says she had been to the velodrome in Manchester - because the Manchester 100 mile bike ride did be startings from there in 1994 - which beings a long, long, long times ago! Mummy said the velodrome had only just been built back then, and now it is the home of the British Cycling Centre.

Here is our view:

As you be knowings, Thomas Cat always be trying to get in on the act, so we gave him a spot on our blog too.

Just very big! I am the size of a small dog!  I do be likings little bits of the Pedigree Joint Care+ treats, if I do beings ables to gets my paws on thems - are they beings OKs for cats I do be asking Pedigree?  I also be eatings Scruff Bites too! And Chappie Kibble!  I also do bes eatings some cat food.  Grace Wiggins Puppy alsos be likings to chase me!  Yazz cat also likes to bounce on me, and 'duff' me up! She bes duffing me up since I was a kitten - I do be duffing her up too! We leave a trail of fur all over the house!
