Worlds Most Expensive Sock

Mistral is a known eater of pretty much anything he can get down his throat (hell some things he can't but god knows he trys), socks are his absolute favourite.
And it's not just anyones socks, only mine.

So we have made extra sure that any socks are out of his reach. Well apparently i wasn't carefull enough. One of my knee high socks went missing the other day. I had put them up out of the way and assumed that I had misplaced one somewhere.

I wish I had been right

Thursday night Mistral was ill. By Friday morning he was screaming in pain.
Off to the vet first thing in the morning and he was in surgery that afternoon. A blackage was found in his stomach, stuck in the passage to his bowel.
*sigh*

That bloody sock.
Cost me $3.50 brand new and ended up costing me $1,100 used and gross......

He is now crated and feeling very sorry for himself with a scar down his stomach that matches the one I have (poor bastard).

Frigging socks

Update

I've been a slack girl not updating the blog more often.
I have been so busy with updating and getting the web site up that this has taken backseat to it I'm afarid.

Anyway, things with the pack are going well. We have been attending a few shows, less then we would like as we have been a bit ill but we hope to get back out there more during winter. It's during these colder months that these Sammies of ours are so much more active and it makes showing them more pleasent for them and us!

Alchemy has been doing well recently taking 3 Runner Up Best of Breeds and a Best Puppy in Group! We were very proud of our little girl. She has grown up so much the last few months, I keep forgetting she is not my little baby anymore and will be a year old next month!

Mistral hasn't been shown all that much, since he was titled I pulled back putting him in the ring as often. He went to a few and had a great time as usual, he loves going out to shows. I suspect it has a lot more to do with getting cuddles from so many people rather then actually getting in the ring.

Lestat has been his usual self, dropping Labrador hair everywhere and taking up as much space on the lounge as possible. We have had to pull his dog jackets out with the cool weather thanks to his poor breeding causing a nasty case of hip dysplasia. Poor boy is always so stiff on cold mornings. But he does happy dances when his jackets are pulled out, its very cute.

We also got the chance to spend some time with friends of ours and their beautiful Bullmastiff's (we have mentioned these stunning dogs before) and they had their most recent addition, a beautiful little pup called Peachez.
She is so adorable I had to put up a photo of her.



And my favourite little girl Grunt, she is Alchemy's friend!


And a few of our crazy kids:

We have quite a bit of exciting news but I wont let any of it out just now, don't want to jinx it or anything. But stay tuned, for exciting future events!
