Now That's Magic

Magic is a lovely dog, she is Kiva's great aunt - her story is a little sad though.

Magic normally lives with Keith, along with 3 other dogs - sadly some 6 months ago Keith suffered a major stroke and for 3 days lay undiscovered. It was only because Magic could be seen jumping up at a window by his neighbours that Keith was found and subsequently taken into hospital. Keith is on the slow road to recovery and his dogs are all in foster homes with Magic living with Andre, owner of Norrpa, last year's Crufts BOB Lappy.

We were asked to look after Magic at the end of January whilst her carers visited family in the north and she arrived on a Saturday afternoon.



She is an impeccably well behaved dog, has a sweet nature and got on perfectly with Kiva and Mlyo as well as the 2 cats - she has many of the same traits as Kiva, she burps, belches and farts ;-) - oh yes, she does enjoy her food, having finished hers she waited patiently to see if Kiva would leave any of hers.

A walk across the fields saw all of the dogs relaxed and a quiet evening was enjoyed by all - the night was quiet, well until 5.45 when magic decided she need to go outside (if only she had sussed the dog flap out).

On Sunday afternoon we met up with Kanto and his hufamily for a walk in Badby Woods, a beautiful wood famous for its bluebells. It is fairly isolated and some distance from any roads so there would be no problems with having the dogs off their leads - Magic never strays far, has impeccable recall and, with her as an example, I knew that Mylo and Kiva would be good - well until they saw some deer running through the woods.
