New addition to the family: meet Rona!

Yes, we did it. We got ourselves another sheltie. It's just like a wise person once said: Shelties are like crisps, you can't have just one. :)
In October we travelled to England to go and meet little Rona. This little tri girl is Skye's half sister. They have the same daddy, but another mum. She is a wonderful little girl. Very outgoing, friendly and crazy! But at the same time very gentle with our little boy Hidde. I fell in love with her straight away. On November 1st she travelled back to the Netherlands with us. Quite a journey for a little puppy, more than a few hours in the car and a night on the ferry as well. But she did very well. Both sisters are great travellers!

Here are some pictures from the first weeks.

Helping unpack to groceries (or just looking for meat, hahaha!)

She loves to tug!!

 And in the train! No problem at all!

Wordless Wednesday #2

Yay, it's spring!

The sun is shining and it feels so lovely and warm outside: spring is here!

 Especially for Sing, Samber, Tig, Sadie, Brooke and Sonic (Skye's daddy, mummy, sisters and brother), here are some new pictures of Skye.

Skye likes a little sunbathing! 

 Roll-over!!!

And a bit of cooling down in the house ;) 

Do I smell cheese???

Yummy!

Our first agility competition

I guess I'm not a great blogger. Especially since I'm more active on facebook... 

But hey, we've finally started competing in agility. So why not post a video of our first competition here in the Netherlands. Skye is doing a really nice job, I'm very proud of her. I still have lots to learn as a handler though, hahaha! I almost changed at the wrong place and even though I corrected myself I pushed Skye around the jump.

We did some more runs, but unfortunately I don't have videos of those. 

 In between we relaxed and watched the others compete. We had a great day. Can't wait until we can compete again in a few weeks time!

Brain surgery gone wrong

Right, well, eeeeerm .........

So after some reconstructive surgery (by me), we've got ...

one happy monkey ...

and an even happier Skye.

The big move!

Skye has emigrated! A few weeks ago we moved back to the Netherlands, because the project that Joost had been working on for his employer came to an end. We had a great time in the UK. So many good things happened there in the last two years.

It still feels a bit strange being back home. But it's also very nice being close to my family and friends again. And I've found a great agility club for Skye, so we're finally getting started with training. Which is such a good thing as Skye is soooo ready for a new challenge. I'll tell you all about it soon!

Skye, learning about all things Dutch ;)
