Last Update before Christmas

Nearly there now! only 2 puppies left; Gertie, who we're keeping, and Jack whose new owner is in Australia for Christmas. Things are now much calmer and we're looking forward to Christmas.

The children are so excited they look like they might just burst out of their skins at any moment!

Anyway, here's a picture of Jack for Matt in Australia and a couple of other pics just to show how big they are now (16lbs the porkers!!).

Meg's last day

I've not updated for a few days basically because we've not had time. The puppies have been taking up more and more of our time and are now quite hard work; it's like having a pack of 6 dogs in your kitchen (7 if you include Lucy).

Anyway, tomorrow is Meg's last day with the Legges and her first with Iris, which will be sad for us but happy for Iris.

Here's a picture of Henry with Patch the Bear and Meg.

Humans turn Puppy!

This is Megan who helped us to deliver the puppies.

Her dad (also dad of Wilf, Lucy's real boyfriend - but that's another story) Nick bought her round to our house in the early hours and she was a big help in the delivery process.

Thanks Megan and Nick!





And this is William (aged 8), who has been known to occasionally lapse into a bout of puppy type behaviour, making himself comfortable in Lucy's basket.

Mums thrown us out!

The pups have decided that they really like Lucy's bed, but she doesn't like to share and she won't kick them out, so we've bought them their own. I think that's Bob who hasn't quite got the hang of it!

Yesterday we started the second course of worming so by lunchtime tomorrow that'll all be sorted thank heavens.

Lucy has now started regurgitating her food for the puppies, which is even more disgusting than it sounds, which means she is ready to ease up on the milk front. Can't blame her when you see those teeth...........

New Names from the Kennel Club

We've just received the Kennel Club names for the puppies....

Jack is Jellicoe John
Minnie is Mygeeto Mos Minette
Hattie is Sekura Shmi Harriet
Gertie is Solar Sailer Gertrude
Meg is Musley Mockingbird Megan
Bob is Kamino Kenobi Robert

There are no typo's in there, and do you notice a slight Star Wars theme in some of the names? You can thank the boys for that!

The Gang of Six

They might look adorable and as though butter wouldn't melt in their mouths but sometimes it's as though we have been hit by a tornado!

3 or 4 times a day now they have a mad half hour and all hell breaks loose, then they collapse wherever they are and fall asleep; either that or they mob Lucy and force her out of her basket.

Quick, they've left the door open!


So, why do we need new oven gloves?



It wasn't me, honest!


Time for bed.

Trashing the Kitchen and Lunch on a Monday

Christmas Fair plus Puppy Pics

Last night (Friday) was the annual Bourne Christmas fair when North St is closed off and the Christmas lights get switched on by Father Christmas. Henry (he's only 5) said it was the best day of his life, ahhhh! The weirdly dressed lot in the second picture are the Bourne Borderers (bit like Morris Dancers).

Anyway here's a couple of pics from that and some of the pups, who are now getting very big. In fact they are now too big for the fishing scales we were using, so according to an old and very inaccurate set of bathroom scales (they reckon I weigh 14.5 stone!) the pups are between 10 and 12 pounds in weight.

The first picture is Meg (hi Iris), then we have William with Meg, then a group photo of the Horde waking up and thinking of food and finally there is Jack who has just been bought by Matt. So all the puppies now have new homes to go to in about 2 weeks time.

Who ate all the Pies?

Err.. that'd be Jack!
