Rafting!

Last summer (December! strange to have the seasons the other way round!) Dan went on a school trip White Water Rafting down the Mohaka River. Eventually the CD with the photo's of the trip made it to us. So here are some pictures. Dan is the one in the purple hat, although it looks pink to me!! But he assures me it was purple! At least you can spot him in the pics!

Have you ever seen a couple of............

..............Foodles!!! No...! So here's two..!

Barney and Chester. They will be 12 weeeks on 16th July. It's just like having babies again! They play, eat and then sleep every few hours. Oh and toilet training!! That's why they are only allowed in the kitchen and garden at the moment!


They are Fox Terrier / Poodles! Their Mum is a Foxy and their Dad is a Poodle. I didn't get too good a picture of them, here's the best!




This is Barney, named by Louise. He has the large white blaze on his chest and is slightly taller and heavier than the other.

This is Chester, named by Dan. He is the smaller one at the moment. But seems to be the dominant one when it comes to play fights as he always seems to have his jaws around Barney's throat!!



We collected them when they were 8 weeks old. So far they've been to the vets to have their 1st jabs. They are due back when they are 12 weeks for their 2nd jabs and then 10 days after that we can take them outside for walks! These are pictures when we first got them home.




This is what happens when you leave the kids in charge of looking after them while we pop out!
