Our silver lining came in the fact that 2 weeks ago we had a litter of 6 beautiful fox red Labradors and this week - 4 days later so we were on tenderhooks a litter of 9 a mix of black and fox red Labradors.
Another twist to this story is the mother of the mixed litter was concieved just a week before we lost the others . We had bred her mother and sold Sky and her brother as puppies to a lady who then came back to us use one of our stud dogs. We then bought 3 black girls out of this litter as we were worried we would lose our lines to keep out blood lines going. Jack calls them all Willow but there is Chloe who really is now called Willow , Sky and as she was black in colour and at that time the skies felt really black and Abbie after Byland Abbey.
The first litter now have their eyes open and crawling about ,the second litter are just like tiny puppies are drinking and sleeping. So apologies to all of you who are waiting to see the puppies. Time seems to go by so quickly. One is already earmarked to go to the top of Scotland . The people have had 3 already from us but sadly lost one and have been very patient waiting for this litter to arrive. They got their last in lock down so it made for us a nice trip out to meet the lady half way. We had to pass a red squirrel area on the way but unfortunately didnt see any but it was a nice ride out,<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiinXK9IlSJ-jZc6t5mu9DWYQjuEBbKkrS_3UPyUgNl76Fhh119_nQSvZiB8go4NMlEBnMfqwaBI_FF7pyVfKCKSJUg-1i15dwi5mfcayRCUiV_kFwnDMozUrFMEzRnT411_w9PqVZdnwmALxKesGz0wncyNmEBbrR00lt08kpEskAqi0snNUk1FhpcEs6_/s3024/fullsizeoutput_469c.jpeg" style="display: block;

The most days he and his dogs have done is 106 in a season in his prime but more likely to be 50-60 days these days . A season is starting on the grouse moors on 12th August known as the Glorious Twelfth and finishing on the 1st Februrary.
They work just as hard as the loaders and beaters. Working teams of dogs and often walking and sending the dogs massive distances to find that one elusive wounded runner.
A picker-up has to have a dog — the job cannot be done without them. A good beating dog is undeniably a huge asset, but many beaters do not have nor require a dog to do their job. Many shoots insist a picker-up has a team of dogs, so if one is injured, in season or has to retire, they have another to replace it.
So this is why we have a lot of dogs.aand when it is really busy days we run two teams on alternative days so if the workload is too much it gives them chance to have a day off and rested up but most of them bark furoiously when the other set off to work as they love their job and want to go along too .
So you could argue that a picker-up has increased costs purely from the fact that they need a full team of dogs, whereas for a beater it is often an option not a necessity. A picker-up frequently uses their own vehicle, so incurs those costs too. They also require essential equipment such as a priest, game bag or carrier, first-aid kit, drying coats for dogs and so on.
Every single job on a driven day — where done by beaters, loaders and pickers-up — is just as important as the next and if done well they become a priceless asset to the shoot.
On the last day of the shooting season it is known as "Beaters Day" which is when all the people who have worked on the shoot throughout the season have a free days shooting as a thank you for working hard and often closes with a meal at a local pub. With plenty to eat and drink there are plenty of tales to tell of what has gone on during the last six months.
And if George Lupton had still being here he would have already been planning for the coming season to start again. As we look back at photos of him out on a hoot day over the years he always has a smile on his face .Never was he so happy than when he was out for the day giving guests a wonderful day at Wass Grange. He got great pleasure from giving memorable days to many people for years . He was a crack shot often managing to bag the first and the last bird and only handing his guns over when he was 99.

It is with the heaviest of hearts, that today, we said our final goodbye to our beautiful, loving ....
She could look into your soul, and know what to do to cheer you up, make you laugh or, to cuddle and love you with all her heart.
She never once wagged with just her tail… the whole body wiggled with happiness and excitement.
Play a game of fetch and you were in for the long haul! I used to mark it Human 0 - Dog 1 (often more!). And if she found a stick… well SIZE DID MATTER!
She’s never left my side and seen me through thick and thin. She loved ... from the moment she met him (that’s how I knew he was the one for me!).
Then she was our ring bearer at our wedding. Out of both of the best men we had, we still knew 4 paws were the most reliable option (only kidding guys, but she was far prettier than you, and got the most Aww’s of the whole day!).
She was great with the elderly, often taking full advantage of rich tea biscuits given to her, and fab with kids, often sat under a high chair just to save parents having to tidy up!
Thank you to everyone whose given her the best life! Her breeders, the vets (there have been many!), groomers, dog walkers, and to our friends & family who have looked after and loved her whilst she holidayed with you. Finally to my parents who looked after her so well, where she wanted for nothing, whilst I travelled around the world.
The day she loved most, was a day out shooting, followed by a tin of tuna, or smoked salmon or ham! A sleep next to the fire and getting the last sips of a glass of Prosecco (or wine, or whiskey, or… well you get the picture).
So tonight, we shall raise a glass to Cuckavalda ...... for being one in a million! We miss you with all our hearts, sleep tight ....
05.06.2011 - 19.01.2024
Thank you for breeding the best dog ever! She’s missed so much already.

So it was interesting to read this from Mississippi
Ross is his nick name, His Kennel Club official name is Cuckavalda Yorkshire Teal who is a FTW - He is the result of a lining between Copperbirch Winnebego - Rollo and Jakoranda Moment which was our orginal Tina. Born back in 2014.
This is what his owners say about him Ross is a Fox Red, Field Trial Winner that we imported from England. He has 30 Field Trial Champions and 11 Field Trial Winners in his five generation pedigree. His confirmation is excellent. he has a wide head, wide shoulders and an otter tail. Ross has an excellent nose and as evidenced by his natural game finding ability. He has picked hundreds if not thousands of birds and rabbits in the United Kingdom. Ross is a welcomed addition to our breeding cadre.

Gemma Red of Muddy March “Gem”, is a fox red bitch that was whelped here at the kennel. Her sire is FTW Cuckavalda Yorkshire Teal “Ross” and her dam is Mossy Oaks Daisy. Gemma is representative of the British standard, she has a wide head, wide shoulders, and an otter tail. In other words, she has excellent conformation.

No excuses Jack has always got up early when he used to ride the horses as he would go out before the traffic got busy on the roads, but in the shooting season he still gets up early as it isnt just turning up at a shoot with some dogs. There is work to be done before he goes and when he comes back. Anything in between Anna is responsible for at home, even though as many of you know her preference is to her beloved Duchess who is her cat who is tottering up to 20 years old. She has had experience with dogs for over 60 years . She will be the first to say she isnt a dog person -meaning she will never have the expertise that Jack has as he works effortly with 12-14 out on a shoot or having the whole kennel under control at home. But how many people can say that in any case, she is able to look after dogs as well as the next person and probalby doesnt take credit for what she knows and does.
We start weaning pups gradually from their mothers on small feeds 4-5 feeds a day until they are fully weaned to 3 times a day by the time they leave us. We feed them Skinners Chicken Field & Trial Puppy And as the company says ....is a complete dry puppy food, specially developed and formulated to support the early growth and development of puppies. Generations of puppies have been reared on Skinner's Field & Trial Puppy and it remains a favourite with breeders.
Skinner’s Puppy is carefully formulated to ensure the correct level of key nutrients are provided in a highly digestible form and the kibble is of a size and shape to suit puppies of different ages, shapes and sizes! It is ideal for weaning puppies onto from approximately three weeks of age. Field & Trial Puppy is also a suitable food for pregnant and lactating bitches, to support the growth and development of puppies, before and after birth.
We always soak feed and would always recommend that you do the same. For a puppy to gobble dry feed down and then when it mixes with stomach juices we dont not feel is a very good way . To begin with the biscuits are soaked in dry milk powder and as they get older introduce the water we boil our own vegetable in ...vegetables are not just good for humans but for animals too just not onion water.
Back to feeding times again Jack likes to feed them regualrly so within 24 hours in a day he likes to do it as near to an 8 hour cycle as he can . This is why his first job in the morning is to feed any pups we have around 4am or just after . Then it is 11.30am feed and their last feed is at 7.15-30pm in the evenings before he goes to bed.
When new owners take their pups home we encourage the spacing out of feed times, but this may be on a different scale of time say 8am 3pm and then later in the evening. This should fit in with the owners daily life but what we are saying is spread it out as evenly as you can .
When puppies leave for their new homes we do not like them to leave within 2 hours of being fed as they would probably not have digested their last feed and consequently sick it up. This is not something we like to think the pup has to do through.
When a time is arranged to pick your puppy up and the arrival time has been delayed we would like to think you bare this in mind so we can work around it so all the litter is kept happy. When puppies leave at 8 weeks old they are quite capable of waiting for a feed and it does not have any determent effect to their well being. We would recommend you do not feed a pup immendiatly on your journey home but wait 30 minutes to an hour to give it time to settle in and also for the kibble to be soaked.
If we have a newborn puppy -and up to 3 weeks old and feel it needs supplimental feed this is done every 2 hours whether it be day or night. When this occurs we share the feeding. Jack starting at 4am and 6am and sometimes even 8am then Anna takes over for the rest of the day and probably cat naps between the 2pm and 4pm feed and tries to go to bed at 12 midnight but has to set an alarm to get up at 2am. And so the cycle starts again. Over the years we have both had sheep and done lambing times on both our farms so know what is entailed when your have animals and they need to be looked after. There was certainly a different in flock size as Jack would be lambing around 2000 sheep with Anna a mere 400 at their peak. This has put us both in good stead of how to look after animals.We use Tommie Tippie bottles as they have a little air vent in them and mum usually finished the milk off as we make new batches each time.

Well what an end to a lovely weekend
Sandra Ellis ,owner of(Q )Cuckavalda Black Bean took him to Yorkshire Golden Retriever club of Northumbria kc test at Lord Stones at Chopgate and he smashed it only dropping 1 point on the 3 challenging tests in 26° It is good to read his progress .To which Jack added when the going gets tough [meaning the hot weather] the tough get going.
And then we heard from Debbie with her two cockers
Well a day at Otley Agility show today and what a fantastic day my boys have had.
Alfie came a away with 2 firsts and 1 second place💙🎉💪

Work and time can play a big part in this so we tend to "run" some of ours on until they are about 6 months to a year old so they have learnt basic commands and like children know how to behave to a degree . We are lucky to have lots of space for them and adventures where they can explore and open their minds but not "blow' their brains .Some people expect too much too soon and this can lead to an adult dog not been as laid back as you would like.
This year we look to be having more youngsters coming back while their owners go on holiday or have to go away for a few days with work or a weekend celebration and dont want them to go into kennels . Jack has had dogs for more years than we like to remember ,but when you are 70 years old you have learnt a thing or two along the way. We always say any dogs we bred can come back for their holidays. Bitches preferably not in season. We think the pups/dogs like it too to meet up with the 'gang. It is like summer camp for them.
Here are a few photos of the youngsters we have on at the moment .Please note not all would be availble to buy

You may have heard of a gun shy dog this would 99% be the fact that it was not introduced slowly and then havingnoiseld buidling up . I write this blog as to us it is just every day life as I had posted a photo of Jack sat on a chair in the middle of some running water. The comment was "what a good idea". So you sit there and the pups, then realise that you are safe and so in turn they would be safe to follow. And with that thought in mind and also of getting a pat for their effort in they go. They may hesitate a bit at first as it is b .cold in the middle of a stream with fast running water in Springtime. But they get to like it ,think it is fun ,find that special stick or stone in the water and away they go. We know everyone is not as lucky to have access to water like we have so you have to be careful. Then out of the water a quick sprint down the wood and home all in time for dinner.

A fine litter and our first and last litter of fox red Labrador puppies this year. They have done very well and are coming on nicely .As Jack is laid back, so are these pups which makes it easier to keep them near together and they build confidence from each other . By the time they leave at eight weeks they will be going 200-300 yards down the road 5 times a day and also up into the field. This way we do not say they are house trained but they are more or less as they learn not to do it where they eat and sleep.

The tweeds are ready to go to the dry cleaners and the pickup is ready for a good service. And we look to start training the young ones which are under a year old now . Next week the year olds go to have their eye tests and fingers crossed they all pass and then it is the hips and elbow to be scored. This is like waiting for your 11 plus results as a lot depends on them as we would never breed from dogs with high hip scores. We are told it takes the BVA about 3 seconds to give them a score which is crazy when you think it can be a make or break time for the future of breeding the lines in the future.
Finn is 13 this month and although he is fully retired he still enjoys doing what he does -trotting round the fields three times a day with the rest of the clan and enjoying an extra breakfast to keep him in good condition. Even the vet who came to inspect us for the council grading was impressed with him . Dont know if the same could be said for Finn as he is very much Jacks dog although he can be a bit of cupboard love creeping in and will wag his tail to anyone who feeds him a sausage roll or other tit bit.
It saddens us to hear of people who bought dogs in lock down who were taken in by people only interested in making a uick buck rather than being respnosible breeders and "We have got the papers' doesnt really mean a thing as soon as they get them out of their cars you can see they are not true Labradors and no matter how much training is put into these dogs they will probably be "handfuls" for the rest of their lives.
Minty continues her life doing whatever she pleases .She dines with the cats early morning and her brother George often shares his supper with her . She loves a sausage at lunch time and looks like a dog smoking a caigar with it stuck in her mouth as she proudly carries it about. She has a routine that tallies with Jacks and you certainly dont need a watch when she is about .As I type this they are both having their afternoon siesta on the settee.In th eeveings she makes a fuss as she likes to curl up with the cats so goes backwards and forwards to the door till we get sick of it and darent risk it any longer in case she wants to go to go to the toilet,but it is just so we let the cats in.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqK6GktW3zFmDYE3OUyXIUXBTEW2Zsp4gmg4r_f2s30NcJdDyKrjQCVCnyko7SS1CjWOG4uG_gMhvjTZU9702_R18GX3BS-37OYfO2fRLcpXfBLsdk0Rtw6GGFiYcuRXsE8ipBIHYtdCExFdjYyvd4ciURbO7PJZZQjIs_0Wsj4ENNakhMrt8B88JebQ/s4032/EdvoIVUPSeeck6MA3zGvNA.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqK6GktW3zFmDYE3OUyXIUXBTEW2Zsp4gmg4r_f2s30NcJdDyKrjQCVCnyko7SS1CjWOG4uG_gMhvjTZU9702_R18GX3BS-37OYfO2fRLcpXfBLsdk0Rtw6GGFiYcuRXsE8ipBIHYtdCExFdjYyvd4ciURbO7PJZZQjIs_0Wsj4ENNakhMrt8B88JebQ/s320/EdvoIVUPSeeck6MA3zGvNA.jpg"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA2P0tYHWPa4anc2zp6TXicQ43_QVCNnZQjuhDoWR1QkLc_RnXeJVerIa7z9Kyn2tc17t1yH0OTcFN2akn4AEGWCIAaqyzb0JilkNmYlpJLFfyT1CnjDF4USqy4lM7HrMG73tV2uN7HyWfByNmk-ehmX1HUI4SWRW5Ps1t31z8oRA5AHoX_cGM0IFHRA/s4032/JEE1%25G2xTvudySBIEumrfg.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA2P0tYHWPa4anc2zp6TXicQ43_QVCNnZQjuhDoWR1QkLc_RnXeJVerIa7z9Kyn2tc17t1yH0OTcFN2akn4AEGWCIAaqyzb0JilkNmYlpJLFfyT1CnjDF4USqy4lM7HrMG73tV2uN7HyWfByNmk-ehmX1HUI4SWRW5Ps1t31z8oRA5AHoX_cGM0IFHRA/s320/JEE1%25G2xTvudySBIEumrfg.jpg"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFALF6PsFXtPU-tkx3Cfb0Rx4H4vU7hGxxYyWGI-y4khPNZpThjb8rQrTpE01J8rGibFqnX0qb3dKeo_xbF6Mh3mVUHfT6mfofXPFw-IQJOojolg_BQNcrZlaFPBssf_WWxQ1trqXAMUl_oNKsBDcfwUfR6t_HNndp3CWMQ3mR6eNBV0NWO_3yyOVnew/s4032/KvALDd+%25T%25mtGjWaozideA.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFALF6PsFXtPU-tkx3Cfb0Rx4H4vU7hGxxYyWGI-y4khPNZpThjb8rQrTpE01J8rGibFqnX0qb3dKeo_xbF6Mh3mVUHfT6mfofXPFw-IQJOojolg_BQNcrZlaFPBssf_WWxQ1trqXAMUl_oNKsBDcfwUfR6t_HNndp3CWMQ3mR6eNBV0NWO_3yyOVnew/s320/KvALDd+%25T%25mtGjWaozideA.jpg"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7ynMwVX7Eo2ZypioZJX0V1UwibilGNB1rnO25EBX1eoKspLmjOvGPHM0eLNWLgTrEM-lvXcvGeJ2E_HpxSt4CMnvghpKnuRqxk8qQB8Z1dZGRxUDC8c9wELniSZY4UuEAJhP6k2mno9iRzuqg-gkJP_gUOcZWTzUgb0LPuetR2AvYf_sqbCUruDDfmQ/s4032/t6xSLV6qTNSjWs8n%25KpFEg.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7ynMwVX7Eo2ZypioZJX0V1UwibilGNB1rnO25EBX1eoKspLmjOvGPHM0eLNWLgTrEM-lvXcvGeJ2E_HpxSt4CMnvghpKnuRqxk8qQB8Z1dZGRxUDC8c9wELniSZY4UuEAJhP6k2mno9iRzuqg-gkJP_gUOcZWTzUgb0LPuetR2AvYf_sqbCUruDDfmQ/s320/t6xSLV6qTNSjWs8n%25KpFEg.jpg"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXkZnbkv0pjM6-5A-VLdBqnZoJhk1WhlMRlhNVPk0eiYUdZ_IuN4RKSaWGwfBrzkzmwhOHXapZaHDGK5Q0YZGYbbVo-ZpVuuQum-1hFoazYUpKyMO04iei1TgaYeTMvuMHbcFQ-IsiQLuLOasw-AcN2tjOvBFyz4wSHNxi23cMskFuDJAWmG_eJDXhbg/s4032/vVHjZovUR3ioa3utjY%25TGA.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXkZnbkv0pjM6-5A-VLdBqnZoJhk1WhlMRlhNVPk0eiYUdZ_IuN4RKSaWGwfBrzkzmwhOHXapZaHDGK5Q0YZGYbbVo-ZpVuuQum-1hFoazYUpKyMO04iei1TgaYeTMvuMHbcFQ-IsiQLuLOasw-AcN2tjOvBFyz4wSHNxi23cMskFuDJAWmG_eJDXhbg/s320/vVHjZovUR3ioa3utjY%25TGA.jpg"/></a></div>

We were very touched that when we lost the 13 dogs in the accident that people, some we didnt even know got in touch and offered to give us a pup from their litter .It was just not one person but many .People were so kind and we feel so humbled by this and will never forget it.As much as we were truly grateful for their offers, we needed to keep our own blood lines which made us who we are today.
So Peg and Molly the cocker spaniels have given us Lucy,Blue and Twig .You will see 3 black Labradors too These were not actually bred by us but we bought them from the lady who bought a Cuckavalda Labrador from us 3 years ago and had just mated her with one of our stud dogs the week beofre the accident happened. We were keen to jave some as Guy is the grandfather, he was one who died. So as we started with 3 fox red Labrador pups many years ago we now start 20 years later with 3 - Well it was going to be 2 but Anna came home with an extra one as it seemed only right as a nod to the orginal 3. 2 have collars on as trust us 3 black Labradors are very hard to tell apart. So here we have Chloe- who we didnt name.. and Sky and Abbey. You will also see Minty out with them and Lucy too. We have to look to the future.

Molly is the granddaughter of our original Molly. She is also Minty's mum . Last week she went to Grace Lane Vets in Kirkbymoorside to be spayed as she won't be having any more puppies. We have kept Lucy to continue the line and hopefully when she is old enough we will keep one of her pups which will be called Molly.
The vet,unfortunately,found a lump and so she had to have that removed at the same time,making it a double operation. She was very sleepy for the rest of the day, but next morning she was up and about and hunting around in the grass to see what she could find. She has the most amazing nose and if there is anything to be found ...including food , she will find it . Molly is now up and about and just being Molly...
Everyone needs a Molly in their life.
We dont know what Minty will think when she comes to live in the house as Minty has prime position at the moment and is totally spoilt. People comment on how skinny Minty is, but she gallops about most of the day. Jack and Minty have a routine and she can tell the time even though she doesnt have a watch. She is up at before 4am and goes out for the last lap round the field about 8pm but she does have naps co-inciding with Jack's naps too. Although for the last couple of days they have been watching Ascot on the television.

But when you see how keen to jump into Jacks pickup you can only think they cant wait to get going . Sunday espcially on a day like today when the sun is shining and the grass is lush ,the birds are singing and all is right with the world. They all do their own thing .You will see how the cockers are up there jumping on to Jacks knee time and time again .Minty likes to play fight with anyone who will give her the time of day and see how she bobs under the Labradors on more than one occasion. Finn sits up the hill side watching his family enjoying the sunshine and letting the others get on with it .A little grey "round the gills" now but he is out there and knows the routine ... playtime,"Beck time" when they get for a drink and a splash about in the stream .-Jack dammed it up a long time ago and it certainly freshens them up, then it is home time. He is usually the last one out of the field and the first one into his kennel.For some reason that Anna doesn't know Tilly always makes a bee-line to her for that extra pat and as they move off she returns to make sure she too is following the pack. So now the dogs are fed,watered and settled down for the night. Again they all have their own pattern as while washing up their bowls and having a sweep up you look through the window and see some dogs are ready for bed and gone into their kennels .Others sit out to get the last rays of the sun.... nodding off. Another day over. Tomorrow is another day .

Kindnesses from people we didn't even know You may well remember seeing a post we put up on Facebook back in the middle of February and since then life has been little more than a blur. This is what it said
"It is with a heavy heart, we would like you to know .
Cuckavalda Gundogs have had a tragic accident around 4pm yesterday .
A tree blow down taking a powerline of 11k vol with it which fell on the kennel block which electrified the runs. Unfortunately 13 dogs lost their lives.
A full investigation is underway by Northern Power Grid . [That is what they said on the day]
Jack ,Anna and Tom would like to thank everyone who have shown their concern and given help.
And to Grace Lane Vets for coming out .
At this time there is so much to do and things to sort so we ask that you do not telephone .
This photo was taken only last week and very few of the black Labradors are still with us .
There will not be a #FridayFavourite this week as we remember
Cockers
Troy Olive
Labradors
Guy, Goldie, Port, Dill, Dora, Rick, Cora, Polly, Tilly, Ivy and Rose
RIP you beautiful creatures - all taken far too young - Aged between 7 months and 6 years"
We are now into April and only last week on the 8th Friday did Northern Powergrid send 15 men out to fell 19 trees which had been looked at in Jan 2021.Then it had been deemed too dangerous to take down without having the power disconnected. Had this been done earlier we would still have had our beautiful dogs. Another factor was that the trip did not trip off. This meant that the wire was still live and endangering the dogs who were still living. Jack was very heroic, and himself very lucky he did not die along with the dogs. He got a pitch fork which had metal tines and stabbed them into a 5 litre container, the sort you get car wash fluid in. He then lifted the live cable, which was still carrying 11k volts, above his head for over 30 minutes until Anna went down the village and brought Kevin the elctrician back. He had just been in hospital and was on crutches, but he came down. He suggested we got a dry tyre and lay it on the metal run to earth the power.Jack carefully slid the plastic container and the pitch fork on to the tyre so he could step away from it. The container was about 14 inches across and as it was so windy was only about 2 inches from been blown off as he had managed under us saying tilt it that way a bit, not the other etc into the middle but the weather was against us. There were sparks and flames jumping across the yard and it was a very scary time.
There has been many nights of unbroken sleep and plates of food uneaten as we try to come to terms with what has happened . We have been comforted by acts and words of kindness . Over 56k comments which came in so quickly from all over the world Anna couldnt keep up to thank people of which there was over 4 millions viewing on Facebook alone. The computer basically locked up. Flowers came in from all around the globe and cards and letters. Offers or help and suport have helped so much. It was approx 8 weeks from the accident to when the trees got took out so the dogs we had left had to be in temporary accommodation. They all adapted well and give Jack a reason to get up in the mornings.
You can read on Cuckavalda Facebook page what has been happening since that fateful day but we sincerley hope our future posts will be more upbeat.
Minty has been a God's send as she is Jacks shadow and trot after him. They have deep conversations you wouldnt believe !

This is the "carry on" we had recently as they were going to the vets for their first injection and vet check before they went off to their new homes. As we started to load them, some decided it was just too boring waiting about, so off they went to explore the garden .And even though they go from short walks with Jack, they decided they didnt want to go for a ride out, but to play hid and seek amongst the flowers. Bang went the climbing sweet pea plant.It looked as if they had used it as a slide . Then they found a plant pot which Minty had been playing with and it was then who could run the fastest carrying it. Looked a bit like a rugby team in practice. Minty - the little cocker spaniel just didnt know what to make of them and as she is older bounded after then and played tag too. As she spends most of her life in the garden she took them round and round the centre bed and so by the time we managed to gather them all up there was some pink tongues hanging out. Finally they were loaded up and off they went. They all got clean bills of health so we were happy for them then to go. It was on to the telpehone to tell the new owners they could come. As we said goodbye to them and a quick ruffle and pat on their heads it was time for them to start the next big adventure in their lives. We can see one now tucking into a Devon cream tea and another meeting one of its relatives that went "down south" a few years ago. It most be all very strange for them to go from hearing Jacks grand Yorkshire accent to a fine one of Hampshire. It may take them a few days to understand what the new owner is saying. They are very laid back and we often get some of the owners contacting us to say how well they have settled in. Nine times out of ten laying stretched out on a new soft ,quite luxurious ,bed surrounded by toys of every shape,manner and form, dreaming of when they played with plant pots and sticks and dabbed their feet in the stream. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpqXTfybV-ylKBngnKwNXyUsX9MbT7TpWB1Z29slJCsMsJF1T58lC6BHCamHmlHk1ZvY_x8vSnIpo3n0JCrWqjkgvmOQCY3XHUkA8ZyqEM3Z8h-_6AxbqiBNPlPbTxKFFfLz_NJP2jegGX/s2048/IMG_4365.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpqXTfybV-ylKBngnKwNXyUsX9MbT7TpWB1Z29slJCsMsJF1T58lC6BHCamHmlHk1ZvY_x8vSnIpo3n0JCrWqjkgvmOQCY3XHUkA8ZyqEM3Z8h-_6AxbqiBNPlPbTxKFFfLz_NJP2jegGX/s320/IMG_4365.JPG"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAaBlMmJkGYIPXss4uLIlP1VO_mFmJ0rH8Z7j7aq0f2SAAMWdbEzJem8OpdXbZ_iAskqUcrymaQI5PZc023w0H5bGInXydsU2QUSpyWIIWsoP6JH3H08DFPUAgP9I074F0e-UzD_CPt2q_/s2048/IMG_4367.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAaBlMmJkGYIPXss4uLIlP1VO_mFmJ0rH8Z7j7aq0f2SAAMWdbEzJem8OpdXbZ_iAskqUcrymaQI5PZc023w0H5bGInXydsU2QUSpyWIIWsoP6JH3H08DFPUAgP9I074F0e-UzD_CPt2q_/s320/IMG_4367.JPG"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9s5eycjGnjTJPhHeHRPxT9VqO4oxjAQr8H0fTVGzmWqi-OGeqjkVoNBSayokn3EgmVMvmBmItSwzGM2WjKWCp6Od9sVX97-VXhPMCJzj86lg5xnogoHNQjXmIrQxD9o5K-d7mAVT6N2eK/s2048/IMG_4368.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9s5eycjGnjTJPhHeHRPxT9VqO4oxjAQr8H0fTVGzmWqi-OGeqjkVoNBSayokn3EgmVMvmBmItSwzGM2WjKWCp6Od9sVX97-VXhPMCJzj86lg5xnogoHNQjXmIrQxD9o5K-d7mAVT6N2eK/s320/IMG_4368.JPG"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr2eNV2HXoZOwSn0wsp80xKOQSXtZdmc5fmZz3NgGo2clgKeEO-WFkI6zN4iiAIHXpVDML7ji0y-23rtMy7NywQmdDo-Yu4WxJSUynHpxsyUKkEWq30IzyQ0jSt5PfLIGG7_slctMQoBP6/s2048/IMG_4370.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr2eNV2HXoZOwSn0wsp80xKOQSXtZdmc5fmZz3NgGo2clgKeEO-WFkI6zN4iiAIHXpVDML7ji0y-23rtMy7NywQmdDo-Yu4WxJSUynHpxsyUKkEWq30IzyQ0jSt5PfLIGG7_slctMQoBP6/s320/IMG_4370.JPG"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgPDlLwwi2eKZSU4K95-SRBYl0NJUv1SV7vZlmWiXoQCa7FNEJ4kGmHhQKBVhD3TB9f3vpxsovK9vGFr-nTJojqdY0h3DYwFamKIhvAnA23I_1j9m9QTcyl8g3OeJXvUbAlaCtX-TUs0yk/s2048/IMG_4372.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgPDlLwwi2eKZSU4K95-SRBYl0NJUv1SV7vZlmWiXoQCa7FNEJ4kGmHhQKBVhD3TB9f3vpxsovK9vGFr-nTJojqdY0h3DYwFamKIhvAnA23I_1j9m9QTcyl8g3OeJXvUbAlaCtX-TUs0yk/s320/IMG_4372.JPG"/></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1676035364096129612.post-63141701505572804912021-05-30T12:14:00.004-07:002021-05-30T12:14:58.677-07:00Quozzi the 2nd ... We dont think anyone can ever replace Quozzie, so for the moment this little lass hasnt got a name. She was amazing today as tucked into her second Yorkshire pudding. She raided the cats dish which had part of a sausage roll in and is very partical to cheese puffs. As she was the smallest and her mum had a big litter she was our Aga baby .But now spends most of her time in the living room and it quite happy to rule the roost in there.

Frank has been a family friend from the year dot and if we are going passed always drop in if they are open. And very nice pork pies too.
Pup with no name likes to watch televison and is such a happy little soul. One night we didnt bother lighting a fire and as it was getting a bit nippy she wasnt so daft. Jack has to watch out with his big feet he doesnt stand on her and she blends in very well with the sofa. And there she had pushed her way under the cover that had slipped down with just her nose peeping out .

This takes us back to when we hand reared Quozzi. This little mite hasn't got a name yet. To call her a runt is unkind ,she was just tiny and as Molly has had a big litter she has done very well to look after her other babies . This is our Aga baby who has been raised on the Aga.She is such a little character now and makes her way now into the living room and still like a bottle at bedtime . Sometimes she sleeps in Jacks sheepskin slippers and also have found her snuggled up with him on the sofa .But this is one when she snuggled up as she fell asleep watching the computer <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkBXtHeP8zTI8BmhHy1coQtTfhPK9KwoIKh2BJGGv8ADN_vJzPwIemKpAV8njsxDmWs1V4HaoxKWPQyz6PzAkN82X3ytly9IX5s2xDNMnYIPmgl6Hd56PL73JCk90s5asKX4iUWU5CgtVg/s2048/IMG_3422.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkBXtHeP8zTI8BmhHy1coQtTfhPK9KwoIKh2BJGGv8ADN_vJzPwIemKpAV8njsxDmWs1V4HaoxKWPQyz6PzAkN82X3ytly9IX5s2xDNMnYIPmgl6Hd56PL73JCk90s5asKX4iUWU5CgtVg/s400/IMG_3422.JPG"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPry_Tdb7GijSB21LQICV3MuPZk-gptX9yCeup7lWJBO_A7muJt5in4DYrB7GncX7c0h5VJj_FdGsuuLK1J3YDyL27zXJS6RaMnAbQXfB2j3raR0Eb1eAF-I0PwxHr5iKxeBi6AAEc25gx/s2048/IMG_3424.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPry_Tdb7GijSB21LQICV3MuPZk-gptX9yCeup7lWJBO_A7muJt5in4DYrB7GncX7c0h5VJj_FdGsuuLK1J3YDyL27zXJS6RaMnAbQXfB2j3raR0Eb1eAF-I0PwxHr5iKxeBi6AAEc25gx/s400/IMG_3424.JPG"/></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1676035364096129612.post-21878592710837692512021-05-12T15:28:00.000-07:002021-05-12T15:28:13.503-07:00Sleep peacefully dear Tina Most of our dogs retire to a life of luxury and Tina was one of those. She was so special .She was our first fox red Labrador and the start of Cuckavalda along with her sisters May and later Willow. Both her sisters have passed in the last year. Reckon they went to suss things out Heaven out for their big sister. She was the biggest and strongest of the 3. Very protective of her young, but the gentlest dog with those she loved and loved her. Her proper name was Jakoranda Moment and came from the Peel family. Jack had always wanted to call his first born child Tina, but it didn't happen so felt apted when naming his first Labrador to call her Tina .The sister who came with her was May, well it was the month of May so it made sense. Willow came a few months later and was already called Willow so we stuck with it.
Tina was the mother of the first Labrador pups we had and from that litter of 8, we kept Tara and Hidi. Unfortuanalety Hidi is no longer here . Tara is still going strong carrrying the genes of her mother and lives in 5 star luxury not too far from us. May had a litter the following year and Finn was one of her pups who is also a dog in a million and still going strong.He still works and sires puppies .He turned 11 this year but is getting a few white whiskers now. While Willow didnt have any puppies until she was 5.
It is always sad to lose our pets.So our thoughts go out tonight to Denny McAllister and her husband Ross. - who locals will know as Denise Auger, who's mum used to own the White Horse in Ampleforth. Her grandparents lived in this house. Anna went to school with Denise and they had been friends now for over 60 years. So when it came a time to retire Tina it just seems a right match. We were regularly sent photos of her sat on the settee and lazing in the garden. Truly loved and so well look after we couldnt have asked for more.
Often we get emails asking for our retirees. But they dont just go anywhere. Some people think they have a right ...goodness knows why as we dont know them or anything to do with them or havent come through someone we know .Why would we entrust our dogs to someone we dont know. Just because they may work at a posh place or know the inside out and outside in of a dog ,that doesnt cut the cloth with us.
Here are a few photos showing Tina through her life.

There is something about walking through a wood full of bluebells that raises the spirits. We are lucky to have our own bluebell wood and a couple of cultivated ones to which only 2 days ago had hailstones and snow on them. The weather is vey temperamental. Is it mother nature's way of saying //the population havent learnt from lockdown wanting to clamber on to the first holiday plane to leave our shores. They said people would take on board to enjoy take things slower and look after our planet. And nature is now giving us a reminder. Anyway enough preaching for today even though it is Sunday. Yorkshire puddings to be eaten and important things like that to think about. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga-tc9spWjV09_zB2Eeez-_dm7FolH5iUmhd6kWKoHqN1htLCc5K4gzGGaKGy39jZN7Ui50kgk2Yk6GJJH8acT6skMTj4JiY0LUc_nhj4trsfoVGoNxfP58lYVkJJEIB5LFcjunqnkhyFh/s600/debb.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga-tc9spWjV09_zB2Eeez-_dm7FolH5iUmhd6kWKoHqN1htLCc5K4gzGGaKGy39jZN7Ui50kgk2Yk6GJJH8acT6skMTj4JiY0LUc_nhj4trsfoVGoNxfP58lYVkJJEIB5LFcjunqnkhyFh/s320/debb.jpg"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkli5cNZXurWbcvlIkBXyPas9JebtEe0xsnDA7THe5jUf9kp2RQV4JjbAdLJ-p4yRK5ciINWqSUDq2sn4eIUTpUHw2Pf6HAQnbnLvJ-K5y3XK5UU07Gjb5oJwzVVNAviexUyBdY9oCN-QL/s593/debbie1.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="395" data-original-width="593" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkli5cNZXurWbcvlIkBXyPas9JebtEe0xsnDA7THe5jUf9kp2RQV4JjbAdLJ-p4yRK5ciINWqSUDq2sn4eIUTpUHw2Pf6HAQnbnLvJ-K5y3XK5UU07Gjb5oJwzVVNAviexUyBdY9oCN-QL/s320/debbie1.jpg"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCdKecPvThPDTHmhAVSbhVZ3tYblQDrE1CkO-z_wA4BGgV1qIj6yrIYMJj5gYbL0j4rN1JTtMkLlsLsG7Fr4v8lC6fVKZJKXjw9DAxSpprOJn3H8XfPjYzAMpJWECUHuPCETORVSUwhceO/s600/debbie2.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCdKecPvThPDTHmhAVSbhVZ3tYblQDrE1CkO-z_wA4BGgV1qIj6yrIYMJj5gYbL0j4rN1JTtMkLlsLsG7Fr4v8lC6fVKZJKXjw9DAxSpprOJn3H8XfPjYzAMpJWECUHuPCETORVSUwhceO/s320/debbie2.jpg"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYMx8dkKvVcQseJ4mWHL_QEI75vjp-2QA7qJwxwy1oKNM2CywBtTsa8vLEuZWB06oiOeA5hPXI6_WUThI8DG0KhZM7yqW1joBQ3s_AgdntHxYqLwv5X6JAmViPIs0vgSv2L-BMS9IMWi4t/s593/debbie3.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="395" data-original-width="593" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYMx8dkKvVcQseJ4mWHL_QEI75vjp-2QA7qJwxwy1oKNM2CywBtTsa8vLEuZWB06oiOeA5hPXI6_WUThI8DG0KhZM7yqW1joBQ3s_AgdntHxYqLwv5X6JAmViPIs0vgSv2L-BMS9IMWi4t/s320/debbie3.jpg"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiae7ucY8sS7Wq00KwEPdNUGDPSkSVEnqtNBsgLjqo0K4TrmTabKW3ZYSX48e8ZvF6t5Nhz1L7Qrbhuf_ZqtDvw43JNeNOdaQTKuw35f2jXWtALecMIsmsxZxOFbAoxBL6vQp_0r5o_-bXF/s225/debbie.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="225" data-original-width="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiae7ucY8sS7Wq00KwEPdNUGDPSkSVEnqtNBsgLjqo0K4TrmTabKW3ZYSX48e8ZvF6t5Nhz1L7Qrbhuf_ZqtDvw43JNeNOdaQTKuw35f2jXWtALecMIsmsxZxOFbAoxBL6vQp_0r5o_-bXF/s320/debbie.jpg"/></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1676035364096129612.post-56728614330980697002021-05-08T03:32:00.005-07:002021-05-08T03:32:33.590-07:00Puppy LoveSometime you just have to help out. These two were just getting their noses poked out a bit as their mum a cocker spaniel had 9 puppies - 4-5 is usually what they would have. So these two are living a 5 star life on top of the Aga and having the best lives. When they get a bit older they will be introduced back into their canine family. What we would like to stress is as adorable as they are and look ,puppies turn into adult dogs and when you consider buying one you should remeber a dog is for life just not for a few months. Dogs give you unconditional love and they should have the same back.We are not saying spoli them or buy them expensive things . We know a lot of people do . Just look after them well and they will be your lifelong faithful friend. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyc9DVq8cPY6pyjPolu4u_UtFim9haanBWPNrp3YlzX5yxGDQK5p0rxaMaTfVFCoG60hUuipQuYYnC-wkEaaDd7qib5LvtDMlhMwuuqfGjziYZw-Ptw9YCPCD7Tpw_KBv82RynJrTqr7dK/s2048/IMG_3110.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyc9DVq8cPY6pyjPolu4u_UtFim9haanBWPNrp3YlzX5yxGDQK5p0rxaMaTfVFCoG60hUuipQuYYnC-wkEaaDd7qib5LvtDMlhMwuuqfGjziYZw-Ptw9YCPCD7Tpw_KBv82RynJrTqr7dK/s320/IMG_3110.JPG"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-A_-sMeHQ-mKHdMJJ7jUEcA-ATYjAFbmH0cF-fvgM0H-WLmINxrdI2A4oYGCcXCXPCuQliH8BiEWH4_wNO4oR_zgKeaxYlNsBNRlJ66a670ji1_DWY7AS5SRvoDMe6pJF_dQbLA1hB2sr/s2048/IMG_3111.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-A_-sMeHQ-mKHdMJJ7jUEcA-ATYjAFbmH0cF-fvgM0H-WLmINxrdI2A4oYGCcXCXPCuQliH8BiEWH4_wNO4oR_zgKeaxYlNsBNRlJ66a670ji1_DWY7AS5SRvoDMe6pJF_dQbLA1hB2sr/s320/IMG_3111.JPG"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7hKme4yiCdj5RZ47Boi9_xQ2oaM2arkPOb87EucdKPbTaBLIxy8NwxsQMRBT-rY0Y-qNoPKfSpquBjI8obYOzejDQkDF4byHl4_w-y7XkodwpFLu1b6hGOQVlZaxrYcpxaZOyDFhxxkIC/s2048/IMG_3112.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7hKme4yiCdj5RZ47Boi9_xQ2oaM2arkPOb87EucdKPbTaBLIxy8NwxsQMRBT-rY0Y-qNoPKfSpquBjI8obYOzejDQkDF4byHl4_w-y7XkodwpFLu1b6hGOQVlZaxrYcpxaZOyDFhxxkIC/s320/IMG_3112.JPG"/></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1676035364096129612.post-635275609594219562021-02-26T11:12:00.001-08:002021-02-26T11:12:53.702-08:00Our #FridayFavourites as we wave goodbye to them all now .They were delightful to watch them grow but we cant keep them all so they have now gone to their new homes.

The thought was the Caribbean Trade Winds. Then the reality was I was in North Yorkshire and what a nice morning it is. Jack had already been up two hours ahead of me. So another chapter to the book as he was actually the pirate. Oh dear what this lockdown is doing.I must have been still half asleep.
Dorthy the cat flew out of the door as I opened it ,so quickly she could have been the parrot. Reality was I was just up by 6am to get Jack his breakfast.
I listen to Bojo give his statement of how lockdown is hopefully going to unfold. 17th May looks like D Day for the Bed and Breakfast providers which includes us.
We are so looking forward to welcoming guests again. With the amazing surroundings we have and have explored this last year which we are happy to share with you when you stay with us ,there is now even more reason to stay with us on your stay in North Yorkshire .Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1676035364096129612.post-74478925702905373912021-02-19T02:39:00.002-08:002021-02-19T02:39:13.753-08:00Friday FavouriteThis young lady is 2 in April and looks so happy, she looks as if she is smiling . Her owners reminded us that when she was a puppy Jack had called her the happy pup and so it is nice to see she is still like that today.
Such a loving dog with our 2 young girls. We had her out in deep snow last Saturday then on the beach Monday.
She is a stunning athletic dog who always turns heads!
Hope you are all well - we may be back for another some day. She is this weeks #FridayFavourite<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicZ-w-uiHFfP82Zq20eEVk8y7yda38kU6zPnO4K3oeRxNbqUzvkaA_j_VjKpv9QRzAgUIoyrzcv4ir7U57mZMw6MPrV2ejJ7nKQ3gNOr7uoRQpKlFdmRT9ZsF725qUmes5RGcP2sHUBs_2/s2048/20210213_121638.jpeg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicZ-w-uiHFfP82Zq20eEVk8y7yda38kU6zPnO4K3oeRxNbqUzvkaA_j_VjKpv9QRzAgUIoyrzcv4ir7U57mZMw6MPrV2ejJ7nKQ3gNOr7uoRQpKlFdmRT9ZsF725qUmes5RGcP2sHUBs_2/s320/20210213_121638.jpeg"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5UpMJFg9UNKVea-TjnWX3fb5yt9APJx2x50crwDXFNMEXj8bnnAk1X3WtOk1A8cy7gPlhbmnrfhPwUNYw9xhduuGqmt_AuM9pI0G8xALRkEeuhlPSifYtUXelFChNly92SB_LX6jns7sQ/s2048/20210213_121653.jpeg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5UpMJFg9UNKVea-TjnWX3fb5yt9APJx2x50crwDXFNMEXj8bnnAk1X3WtOk1A8cy7gPlhbmnrfhPwUNYw9xhduuGqmt_AuM9pI0G8xALRkEeuhlPSifYtUXelFChNly92SB_LX6jns7sQ/s320/20210213_121653.jpeg"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-yNi3hicYkKPmP2U_OO8vBHFpthIblu0UCqGioffohZcJnEW-UfNu2HA0DEItvY85KhHsyRDYA5evfL2T1tT9TAczcYgE3LB9dOEcu3fme0pwFBjAcP-JecF5PaUMQRQA5Dt0EjnDobyo/s2048/20210215_120348.jpeg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-yNi3hicYkKPmP2U_OO8vBHFpthIblu0UCqGioffohZcJnEW-UfNu2HA0DEItvY85KhHsyRDYA5evfL2T1tT9TAczcYgE3LB9dOEcu3fme0pwFBjAcP-JecF5PaUMQRQA5Dt0EjnDobyo/s320/20210215_120348.jpeg"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzqEbr8g-u9PSscWbxE1qCzMbaNRjVpUukN6PLvTRRs9O8qv1tjE0GpczVSyVvu1MvJLulUZsFrMXzsWnu5aGxNCPz-HNS3ySOHdAjBhvJdyG_INIpZfFSvzdElYvB6j5W1ZqOldKXgCGG/s2048/20210215_120353.jpeg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="320" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzqEbr8g-u9PSscWbxE1qCzMbaNRjVpUukN6PLvTRRs9O8qv1tjE0GpczVSyVvu1MvJLulUZsFrMXzsWnu5aGxNCPz-HNS3ySOHdAjBhvJdyG_INIpZfFSvzdElYvB6j5W1ZqOldKXgCGG/s320/20210215_120353.jpeg"/></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
