    CONGRATS!

    There was a wedding on the news a while ago where it was eco friendly themed but they made their own flowers out of paper, so you could get reeeally nice paper and make them and keep them forever or recycle Happy

    naaaaw lovely, the one I know was the smallest one from her litter, even as they all got bigger. Seems there are tons of variations in size with all breeds even within same litters. She lives close by and went to puppy training classes that I work at. Only met one sheltie and one rough collie but seen some about...mostly see shih tzus and staffies here!

    Snow has gone now Happy

    *double posting cuz it won't let me edit*

    turns out that dogs like snow just as much as people do, it's snow and its fun and they're playing and they reckon it's nothing to do with any ancient instincts!

    yeh I only just saw the sheltie pic on the first page OOOOOOOOOOOOOOM is it a sheltie or a rough collie can't tell what size it is as there's nothing to compare it to!

    I do wonder why dogs love snow! a sheltie or a rough collie has its roots in places that got lots of snow!

    such as if you wanted to go stack shelves in a supermarket for a bit of extra cash, they'd rather you be on tills at checkouts or something else a little more technical if you had a degree etc - true story
    I also think people are put off when they see my CV cuz it just goes - dog dog dog dog dog dog. So would rather employ someone who wasn't going to go off and do something else in a year or so.

    we would be struggling with or without the reccession due to a few things but bills are going up. Feels even worse when you don't have a job. I had one for 2 months but had to leave due to a few things that I won't go into.

    What I am seeing is a lot of pubs in the area closed down and boarded up, small independant businesses don't really survive either because it's usually stuff that don't interest the majority or too expensive because its an independant shop. It's areas like this that suffer most - former industrial towns, not sure why.

    Emma - It is of Old French and Old German origin, and its meaning is "entire, universal". Originally a short form of German names such as Ermintrude.

    Barbara (yes yes I have an old lady name, I was named after my Nan!) - It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "foreign woman". The adjective was originally applied to anyone who did not speak Greek; it has the same root as "barbarian". In Roman Catholic custom, Saint Barbara is invoked as a protector against fire and lightning; she is patron saint of architects, stonemasons, and fortifications.

    Jones - Son Of John (John's son, you can see how it changed to Jones) A patronymic name meaning "son of John," the given name John deriving from the Hebrew Yochanan meaning "Jehovah has favoured." Jones is a popular surname among European Christians, as the name John was bestowed in honor of St. John the Baptist and many other saints by the name John. JOHNSON is a common English version of this surname. Jones is the most common surname in Wales, where "son of" is denoted by the "s" ending.

    haha thanks, he melted and his head fell off! lol he had legs but you can't really see them and they don't look in proportion but they did in real life. I made it at 10.30 pm lol it was snowing really heavily and I just had to go out in it. My real dog spotted it and sniffed at it when she went out later that was so cute, same breed as the snow dog Happy

    Snow is still here but all drippy hope it lasts tomorrow I love going out in it.

    CC - can't imagine it being hot and xmas! I'm in australia next xmas it's gonna be so weird.

    well I haven't been doing that many, still learning but here is the most recent:



    Yorkshire terrier, completely scissored body and head loooove scissoring, no clippers involved apart from on the 'sanitary area'. Hoping that one day I'll be able to completely scissor some breeds but it takes a long time to get speed up espeically with some kinds of coats, not everyone wants it some just want them shaved on and some owners get no choice, can't have a nice finish if they don't brush the dog at home = knots & matts. Head was done by a work mate because she was so annoyed at how it was growing, he was all square but I would have cut it the same.

    he's so cute and wouldn't keep still for a pic!

    nuther scissored one, lhasa apso puppy:
