Catch Up

I just realised that it has been almost 4 weeks since our blog was updated and having just read a few blogs of some of our fellow Lappy owners I thought I better update ours. Since Taavi left us it has just been Kiva and Mylo here - not that it has been uneventful as the past few weeks has seen Mylo go on a diet. At 25 kgs he was, most definately, overweight - 25% overweight in fact - and despite our efforts we had only been able to shift 600 grams in 12 weeks. So a couple of weeks ago I took him to the vets to see if they could help - 14 days later I am delighted to say that Mylo has lost another 840 grams bringing him down to just under 23.5 kgs, still a way to go but very encouraging all the same.

The past weekend saw a couple of 4 legged guests, Sisko (Kiva's mum) and Peppi (Kiva's sister) who were with us overnight having been taken to a show in Stafford. An unexpected surprise was the arrival of Kanto (Kiva and Peppi's brother) who popped in to say hello with his huparents Neil and Milly.

Liz, their owner and Kiva's breeder, was also with us meaning an enjoyable evening round the kitchen table sharing doggy related anecdotes and discussing suitable mates for Kiva.

This was Peppi's first stay with us and she soon settled in, made herself at home and discovered the joys of Mylo's and Kiva's toy box and bone stash.

A late night meant for a late start to Sunday - the dogs were fed and then it was off for a walk across the fields - 4 Lappies running free is a sight to behold and with Kiva and Peppi busy exploring Mylo and Sisko kept us company.

Sadly Peppi and Sisko's visit came to an end leaving Kiva and Mylo wondering what would be happening next.
