[singlepic id=5921 w=320 h=240 float=left]Just thought I’d update you on the girls that we homed in January.

They have fitted in really well with us and are a big part of our family. Our son calls them his sisters! They are still both lovely natured with us, other people and dogs and very good in the house. The only problem we have with them is they eat everything they can find in the garden! Hopefully they will grow out of this. They are now both sporting shiny new sets of teeth.

Holly, the little one who was the runt, has now caught Ivy up and is actually now the heavier of the two. (10.5kg today!) She’s much more confident now and has recently started guarding and has a lovely deep bark on her and has got a lot hairier and chunkier. (We call them our bearded ladies!) Holly is very bright and loves going to dog training classes every week, we’re even thinking she might go on to dog agility as she’s very focused. Ivy has a bit more casual approach with training, but is as sweet as ever. They both love seeing the other dogs and having lots of fuss and they still love playing with each other.

They attract a lot of attention wherever they go and the consensus verdict on what they by the general public are seems to be “Borderjacks”!

They were both spayed last Monday and feeling very sorry for themselves in the evening, but woke up on Tuesday as if nothing had happened! They have just used the plastic collars as extra armaments to charge each other with “tazzing” round the garden!

They had our usual vet operate and their wound is so small I thought they’d had keyhole surgery! They had their stitches checked today and are due to have them out on Friday as all seems well.

We’re planning on taking them camping in May which should be fun.
