The Guy Fawkes Trail at Robs, 2011. Great evening, loads of people, food, drinks, fireworks and fun.
A day of firsts really. Our first Leonberger Club event, our first water trial, Echo’s first big swim, Echo’s first water retrieve, my first time to Anzac Bay in Bowentown. Superb all round!! Loved it.
Echo came third overall which is supremely impressive given it was her first time, 80/100 for a first trial [...]
The longest leg competition is going well, Echo is certainly “all limbs” at the moment, she could do with eating a bit more but I can’t blame her – it has been far too hot to be hungry lately. Colenso started School last week and is doing very well, she continues to amaze me with [...]
Big birthday fun for the big five year old! Colenso and her friends had fun at the pony place and then back home for fun on the water slide bouncy castle thing, then cake and a pinata. Too many lollies!!
Echo chillin in the hammock. She certainly takes ‘laid back’ to a new level, my kinda dog!
She had her vet visit the other day, 10 weeks old, 14.5KG and doing well. So she has put on 3KG in two weeks and I thought she was not eating much!! She does tend to favor [...]

Echo has a few favorite places, most involve a cold surface but others are just things that have become hers, such as the sun lounger and of course the big dog pillow which was always hers. Here are a few photos of her in her favorite places.
Tomorrow Echo will be ten weeks old and [...]
One thing I’ve noticed about Echo is her reluctance to put in any effort when the ambient temperature gets above, say, 15 degrees. This is a classic shot of her having lunch, by no means an uncommon sight. Once I caught her with her head laying flat in the bowl chewing on the nearest food, [...]
It turns out Echo likes to have her photo taken, which is a good thing because I like taking photos and I like to post photos on my site. But last weekend a friend of ours Mark Hamilton came over to visit (he loves giant breed dogs too) and he [...]
On the 24th of September at Skyewood Leos in Tauranga Whisper and Quinn had 11 puppies, one of them was “purple girl”, named so because each of the puppies gets a different colour wool collar so you can tell them apart. Well the wait is over, she turned 8 weeks old and yesterday [...]
