Birthday Cards

My birthday has come and gone now but I thought I'd post some of my cards from . I don't know why, but I seem to have got a lot of dog cards this year...

Scruffy Puppy

It won't be too long before little scruff-pup has his first 'strip' which will make him look like a 'real' welsh terrier. We've grown accustomed to his fluffy sheep look ...he looks like a little black barrel on legs at the moment ! We saw some photos this week of Dylan's 'brother' who's just had his first strip and looks amazing. A lovely dog. Let's hope Dylan comes out well too - but he's certainly not going to like it judging by how much he protests even when I try and brush him!

In the meantime, here's some scruff pup head shots for posterity...

Dylan and the Abandoned Rugby Ball

I don't think Dylan is going to live up to his 'Arthur Chilcott' pedigree name. His reaction to seeing his first rugby ball was....well....mixed

Frankendog's last stand

Dylan's favourite toy since we got him has been a little felt dog which I got free from a pet shop. It was re-named 'Frankendog' after I sewed up his torn bits with black cotton one day. Alas, Frankendog suffered a violent assault last night and lies injured and broken. Perpetrator unknown... but just who is that shadowy figure watching on ?

Toothless

Dylan's teething is getting him down some days and his poor little jaw is juddering with the pain of his back teeth . We hadn't seen a single tooth until this week though I know he's losing them as his gummy smile is testament to it. Apparently pups eat their teeth as they come out so we rarely see them ....but here's one that got away! Perhaps I'll show it at the Tate Modern.
