Rusty Blue Steel

I don’t ask for much, because I know you’ll share my blog updates if you think they are worth it…

BUT… I would appreciate if you could click on this link & ‘like’ the photo of Rusty pup, the love of my 7 year old son.

It’d be wonderful to see his face if Rusty Pup succeeded in this!

She’s a lovely family pet, not bred for shows. She plays with Alex & loves people and children. German Shepherds have a bad name due to history and association with security services, but they are bright, friendly idiots who love a tummy rub & attention (who doesn’t?).

She’s not a precious pampered handbag pup, she’s a real world lady and I for one would love to see Alex’s face if she wins.

A vote for Rusty is a vote for real dogs!!!

Thank you all!

Usable Snow!

Finally some snow that is useable/usable (depending which way you face the Atlantic) … Thick enough & icy enough for a sled, and at a weekend so that I can go out with the family & enjoy said snow!

A cracking time was had – and don’t be fooled by the movie… That hill was way faster than it looks…

Rusty New Year

We took Rusty for a New Year’s day walk out to Tweseldown today. A huge wooded area with all sorts of things for a pup to get excited about… Mud, sand, grass, trees, and plenty of water.

She’s just turned 21 weeks old and is already 22″ tall to the shoulder, and weighs in at 24kg.

I didn’t get a chance to take many photos before she took to the water… over and over again.

DAMN I’M GOOD LOOKING!

Christmas Horror

Rusty has been chewing on a big old cow hip bone that we got her for the Christmas break. She loves it, but it’s had to go outside because, and not to put too fine a point on it, it smells like death now.

Any way, it inspired this little mess about with iMovie on the iPad…
