Gus is teething

Just posting a note to say Gus is teething (on everything and everyone). We’ve tried various toys to save the fingers and furnature but it’s not to be … puppies.

Some photos during a wild 10 mins last night.

We have a red chilli !

It’s been nearly two weeks since I’ve posted an update — this has been for a number of reasons primarily studying and secondly since I ditched my XDA Stella I have no easy source of pictures.

So after borrowing my missus camera I have again managed to get some pictures.

Two startling pieces of news.

1. Bill has a red chilli !

2. Huey has three chilli’s !

The tomato plants are still growing like triffids (all except toms 3 — which nearly drowned in the rain so I needed to drill irigation holes in the pot).

Huey Dewey and Louie are going from strength to strength. I have moved Dewey to join Huey on my daughters window ledge.

Huey is now : 13 inches high.

Dewey is a massive 22 inches high.

Louie is now : 15 inches high.

All the plants have loads of flowers – Huey has three chili’s.

In addition to this Gus our little puppy has today recieved his first collar and he does look proud. We’ve had him tree weeks now and he’s getting big !!!

Patrick’s cucumber plant is going to have outgrown the small green tent soon.

Update on Chilli’s Puppy and Garden

Having managed to borrow my missus camera I’m able to post an update on where were at here.

The chilli’s have almost doubled in size in the last week.

My son patrick now has a cucumber which is located outside in the green tent. I’ve moved the tent away from the decking at the bottom of the garden to facilitate the much needed garden bench.

We’ve moved the palm tree around to the back which also joins the bench on the decking and with the umbrella attached I’m ready for studying outside !!!

On a slighly sad note one of the two sun flowers my wife managed to grow from seed has been eaton by something in the garden. And the Jasmine in the front has dropped it’s one and only flower.

Last but not least our puppy Gus is growing up quite quickly. We’ve nearly got the toilet training sorted but I guess like all teenagers he is rebelious to say the least. And just when you are mad as you can be – on comes that sweet look …

Laters.

More pictures of GUS playing with the children in the garden.

The puppy is called Gus

We have decided to call the little guys “GUS”. He is now coming up to seven weeks old and he’s a real bundle of fun.

Attached is a gallery of the first photo’s we’ve taken of him playing with my son.

Also the toy we got him which he photographed playing with has also been an absolute hit.

More photos to come as days move on.

It’s a puppy !

After almost a year without a dog in the house now is the time for us to get one.

My wife spotted a litter in Charde coming up to three weeks old so we decided to got and view them. These guys were a little too young to see any character forming so we have returned one week later and we’ve picked a little guy.

Presently the jury is out on what we call him these names range from Toffee (my youngest’s favorate name), through to Monty.

These are the pictures we took at 4 weeks old.

Our plans are to collect him after he is six weeks old. Some time week commencing 21st June probably mid week so the traffic isn’t too bad.
