Update on Willow



I'm aware that I've not been blogging much recently. This is due to being stressed to the eyeballs through not finding employment and Gareth and I not having our own place and also the fact that we are not living with Willow (she's residing with my parents). So I figure an update on Willow is due! (Glyn has since returned to his previous owner as they are now in a position to have him).

Since Willow's eczema, she has been on a food increase to up her weight which was a little on the low side. She has been revelling in getting away with various things that were previously banned, such as invading the empty dog food bag:

Willow is not the only one taking liberties recently as Molly refuses to adapt to living with two other dogs to the extent that she often ignores their existence:

Willow still hates fireworks, and is becoming more and more resourceful in trying to hide away from them. This is probably not the most hygenic place she has found to disappear in though (the pans were washed after!)

She is still her narky self however, and has recently decided that since she only sees me twice a week, she doesn't really have to listen to me. This was brought to a head yesterday at dog club where she spent her time ignoring anything I said, pre-empting commands, trying to eat the other dogs and just generally being a grand pain in the arse. To look at her you wouldn't think it, but boy, do I have some work to do on this dog right now!

The one with all the photos

As promised (although somewhat late!) here are the photos of some of my first chocolate making, my nephew's 4th birthday

Two chocolate bowls I made for my Grandad's

birthday. The contents of which are shown below...



These are not particulary good, but I'm learning!


It was my first try at creating a mottled

effect with two types of choclate.

I currently only have access to a few photo's of Tom's birthday as I'm using the my Mum's photo's and her camera battery died during the birthday. Once I get the photo's off my camera I will some more:

Tom opening his present from his Nan and

Grandad.

My parents dog, Molly, is very popular with

Tom and Lily, so she was pretty exhausted

by the end of the visit!

yawn

Nothing going on just now. Absolutely nada.
