I mBaile is i gCein

At Home & Abroad.

At home things have settled down a little. Misty's pups and Sona's pup are begun eating solids & are packing away soaked Red Mills Racer & fresh raw lamb.

Away from home a Glen is in trouble. A male is in Ashtown Pound due to be destroyed on Tuesday. We're trying to arrange to get him out. If you can help ring 00353-1-8383236 URGENTLY.

Below are 2 of the first things i put on the morning ;-) a training whistle & clicker.

This is the much loved treat ball. We often put the kibble for a dog's main meal into it & both glens, jacks and rotties enjoy bashing it around & snatching up the biscuits. It gives exercise, entertainment & boredom bashing in 1 go.
Here's the new CopperBlack Maran pullets a much appreciated gift from friends in Glens.

AN LA AR FHEABHAS.....An Excellent Day!

I started this post a few days ago & got no farther than the title, i got so busy. On Thursday off went Nanny & me to pick up not 1 but 3 glens for rehoming.

The first one in Tipperary was a bitch i had sold on allegedly to a good home for keeps, but ended up getting sold on again & was up for sale AGAIN within the space of about 6 months since leaving here. Her owner was emigrating so i bought her back. This is Cara, December Dawn out of Ballyfoyle Dawn by Ballyfoyle Fionn at Threetrout. I'll post her pic later. Her face when she saw me & later when i got her home to tommy had to be seen to be believed, she was so happy to see us & be home again i've kenneled her in with Bruce.

The other 2 over in Galway had been very naughty sheepkilling but luckily for them the farmer didn't demand to have them shot but accepted being paid for damages & the dogs being took away. Also luckily for them, i have the cure for sheep killers & they can look forward to learning a bit of manners.

That's it for now, must go & do some more work.

A New World

Hey this is getting like the Backpacker's Rough Guide To The Internet now!

Find more Bailielands pics all for FREEEEEE!

http://www.photobucket.com/bailielands

Yup, the link works fine, it will give you access to all the public albums i am posting on Photobucket, Glens, Jacks & more. Pics are mounting up in Photobucket as it is SO easy & fast to upload pics.

You can see lots more pics of Danny, pics of Sona when pregnant, more jack russell pup pics and beagle puppie pics from Sally & Rex, our 2 foot beagles. All this at the moment but of course more to come as its well free.

Cheerio!

Sonas!

Happiness!

Well the link from the homepage on freewebs is working so i thought i'd throw up a few more pics.

This pic is Pippa, Cumbreck Tiny Pippa our generation 1 jack from Angela in Cumbria. Pippa is getting a little gray now & is done with having babies, but you can see how she has adopted (stolen) these ones! She won't let them go back to their mum at all.

This is a pic of Bailielands Danny at 3 weeks getting a kiss off the Nug. Nugger is very motherly too & loves puppies.
This is Bailielands Honey Pup(jack) & Sandybanks Siobhan (glen) playing beside one of the chicken runs. Siobhan is our latest new arrival, Bruce's daughter out of Knockroe Earball Fada. What a fine girl she is.
Last pic is Shannon mothering 2 other puppies AS WELL!

AN BEALACH EILE

The other way.

Well i've used up all my free webspace on freewebs & have been waiting to upgrade my account to be able to post more pictures & new blogs.

But it occurred to me that there were plenty of free resources on the web, photobucket & blogger for example that were worth a try.

Perhaps they could carry the addons to my site if i build in links etc. So here goes.....
My new Bellman & Flint Terrier Locator system arrived about 2 weeks ago i think. I haven't dug with it yet, but we have tried it out on dogs running about the yard & so, to get a feel for it.
Word is it is the most excellent locator system to date.
With sterling weak against the euro it cost me about 392 euro including postage to Ireland.
The price of units has slightly increased since then i believe, not surprising everything is rising fast, the days of milk & honey for the Celtic Tiger are over.

Now about Sona, she has 1 lovely male pup, a blue/brindle hopefully destined to stay in the west of Ireland & here he is...








He is just 3 weeks old in these pictures.

He possibly may be known as Bailielands Danny, we'll see or maybe Bailielands Daniel or Danny Boy.
Misty's litter were 3 weeks old this weekend & are very very noisy indeed.
That'll do us for now, i'll be busy trying to link this to website for 2 nite
all the best
