Sleepy heads!

Oh dear! Mum had planned to take Pixie to Louis' dog training class, so she could see what went on and Pixie could get some extra socialisation......but guess who fell asleep?? BOTH of them!! Here's a picture taken just a short time before they were supposed to think about leaving for the class....the sleeps overtook them both though!



Not much to report today Beauclarke Fans, Mum's keeping a close eye on Lilly as she's very quiet today and not jumping up onto or off of the chairs...she also couldn't get up some steps without help on her morning walk. She's not limping or anything but isn't her usual self. We're at the vets on Saturday anyway so mum will get her checked over then...unless we need to go before then. Mum's given her some pain killer medicine and is helping her up and down off the chairs, so hopefully this will help. She's had her back knees operated on 3 times but this time its seems to be a front leg that's troubling her. Here she is taking it easy with Louis



Pixie's keeping the others fit anyway...

Oh Poor sweet, sweet pixie



How could anyone stick a HUGE needle into her when she has a face like this! Yes, today was vet-check and micro-chip day. She was an absolute darling and was cuddled by a whole host of people in the waiting room and by a girl on work expereince from school who wanted to be a vet. She got the all clear, which we knew she would as she is such a healthy looking pup. Of course she was a little upset with the microchip but within seconds was her usual happy self and all was forgiven. When she got home, as you can see from the following video clip, she was as energetic as ever giving Penny a run for her money....Pixie's mum was a Blenheim which is why Penny seems to be targetted for fun and games... Sorry its a little dark



A little later on out in the garden Pixie took on a 3 way tag team of Penny, Louis and Charlie....I think its obvious that Pixie was well in charge of proceedings!




She is such a live-wire when she plays but always so happy to stop and have a cuddle. Even Lilly has been playing with her today which is nice to see as Lilly can sometimes take a little while to even come down off her perch on the the back of the sofa where she takes refuge whenever there is a new comer! Its all good with The Beauclarke Bunch

18th April 2010

Its been a very sunny and nice day here again today and we have had a nice time doing a little sunbathing. Charlie has been rolling in horse pooh again and Penny had lots for breakfast! Yeuch!! Mum caught Pixie and Louis snuggling up when they thought no-one was looking!



Cute eh? Pixie continues to settle in very well and has now met all 15 of the cats. Silly mum didn't have the camera though...actually our back yard is a right mess, we had a conservatory built before christmas but its not quite finished yet and so we're still living on a building site (its the smae out the front as well with half a drive!!) Pixie is sleeping off a HUGE tea of fresh Chicken, beef and tripe meat and Royal Canin dry food! Here she is earlier in the day playing with her ball.

Pixie's here

Yippeeee, our Little Sister Pixie has now joined the Beauclarke Bunch! She actually came a day early (yesterday) because her breeder had another dog due to whelp and so would have her hands full! She is just soooo cute and soooooo tiny! She has settled in incredibly well indeed and wasn't at all phased by 5 doggie noses inspecting her when she arrived. She was very well behaved last night and slept in a little nest on the floor by the side of mum's bed. She gave a few whimpers but very soon settled and was very good most of the night. She woke a few times and gave a little cry or two but then went straight back to sleep again. She really is a good girl. Today she has met most of the cats, and has been very good with them as well (and they have been just as good with her too, not once swatting her even when she was a little enthusiastic with her greetings). So far she has been very good with her house training and asks to go outside by pawing at the doors. Well enough whittering on, you want to see pictures don't you! You'll see that Charlie is rather taken with her! Well, here you go and we have a video clip for you too.....Pixie with her first chicken bone (don't worry we didn't let her eat the bone, just nibble off the meat!)

Hello again! We've missed you!!

Hello again! Its been a VERY long time since we posted and apologies for that. Mum's not been too well for some time. She's a tiny bit better now though so thought it was time to get back to blogging.


Us pups are still a happy and healthy bunch as you can see from our latest Family Pawtrait taken in March:




To be quite honest mum had forgotten all the passwords for our Blog as well, so that's another reason why we've been away for some time.


But we have some exciting news for you and hope that you'll forgive us for being away for so long.....


On Saturday we're getting a new baby sister!! So we'd like you all to join us in welcoming Princess Pixie of Beauclarke, pictured below at just 5 weeks, she's a charming Ruby girl who will be the foundation bitch for the Beauclarke Kennel and the beginning of the Beauclarke Empire mum has planned. Look out World...here we come!


We're all going to have fun teaching out little sister the rules of being a Cavalier. Ah the joys of puppy hood!

Our mum has kept her brain occupied while she's been ill and has gained a Diploma in Canine Studies with a Pass at Distinction and she's also qualified with the British Institute of Professional Dog Trainers ( BIPDT ) as an Obedience Instructor. So the Beauclarke Empire will expand to dog training as well once mum's properly better!

It's Buddy's birthday today and he's the grand old age of 7. We have some yummy Chudgy Chocs for a special treat later on. Charlie will be 1 on April 26th and Louis (formerly Bumble) on May 6th!

Well that's all for now, but we'll be back soon...promise!

Best walk ever! Oh and a name change for Bumble

Oh why didn't Mum have her camera with her today!!!! Typical! We had the best walkies EVER and no pictures!

The Budster had to go to the vet for his monthly allergy shot this morning and us Cavies decided that we weren't going to be left at home and so all 5 pups plus 2 adults climbed into Mum's car - good job she has a dog-mobile! Lilly jumped right into her place in the front seat so Dad got to sit in the back with Buddy taking up 2 seats so he had to share a seat with Penny. The littlies - Charlie Beau and Louis Bumble ended up on the parcel shelf! They LOVED it!!

When the Budster had his jab we went to our local park - we don't go there much as there's a really cool wood over the road from our house where we can be off-lead without too many worries. So anyway, we get to the park and not a dog in sight so Mum and Dad let us big dogs off lead and Charlie Beau and Louis Bumble were on long extending leads (as it was their first time at the park) next thing you know there are 9 dogs all milling around having a whale of a time! We met Tia a black lab who we see in the wood sometimes - she's as crazy as Buddy is! (and as slobbery slimy!!) There was a greyhound lady and two terrier mixes. We had LOTS of fun and made lots of new friends. The park is good and we want to go there again soon!

So Bumble is now known as Louis (pronounced Looooo eeeeee) While Bumble was a cute name he didn't really like it much and only came when Mum called Charlieeeeee, and because we are Lilleeeeee, Penneeeeee and Buddeeeeee Mum figured he needed an eeeeee name to be like the rest of us. So Loueeeeee he has become. (Mum's got a thing about Charles 2nd and The Restoration period of history and there was a Loueeeeee around in France at that time! Dear God, I hope she doesn't get any more pups one of them might end up a Rupert!!!! Anyway, Louis likes his new name better and is responding to it now.

Ooooooo Tea time! Byeeeeee
