Between sizes

Bert had a harness fitting after Puppy College today. He’s outgrown his first one. Hardly a surprise as he got it in December. He’s now 21 weeks old. Still growing like a sprout! He’s gone very long, so his original one was starting to rub behind his shoulders. His tail is almost as long as he is! Sure he’ll grow into it (and his paws).

The harness comes in 3 pieces so it can be tailored to each dog. After a bit of mix and match, we realised he’s between sizes. Bit like his Mother then! So I decided to go for the bigger options knowing he will grow into it.

New harness, means new colour. Doesn’t he look smart in green. He’s definitely a smart boy too. He’s loving Puppy College.

Kiwi & Sage

Well my self-imposed saddle pad ban has held firm for a while now. Then they had a sale…. And my resolve waivered.

So Buddy is the proud owner of two new saddle pads. One in Kiwi and one in Sage. In my defence. He has got a couple of pads that have seen better days. So these will replace those.

I can’t wait to put them on him. I think he’s going to look very smart indeed! Just need the weather to improve so I can actually take him somewhere now.

Buzz cut

Buddy finally had his first clip today. I’ve had to put it back twice as he didn’t have much to clip! It’s been so mild that he’s been getting a bit sweaty. So glad he’s done.

Clipping with Buddy has been quite the journey. He’s gone from histrionics to mild indifference. We were reminiscing about some of his antics. He’s rather ticklish so he’s still expressive. He still doesn’t like his ears or face doing. But for the most part, he was a really good boy for Beki.

Doesn’t he look smart?

Monarch

It’s new rug day for Buddy. His old one has seen better days. The tail flap is hanging by a thread. It’s covered in scratches where he insists on standing with his bum in the brambles. Starting to regret buying him a new one already.

This one is called Monarch and is Royal Blue of course. Only fitting for my little boy. Well he does have King of Diamonds and eventing royalty in his bloodlines.

I think he looks super handsome in it. Of course, this is probably the last time it will be this colour. Tomorrow it will be brown…

Rug addict

This is what happens when the tail flap comes off your rug, your Mother gets a 15% discount voucher and there’s a sale on. Happy New Rug Day Buddy!!

Yes I know that’s not an official thing. But it could be. My rug addiction has been under control recently. I even sold some. And I haven’t bought a new rug for ages.

Not that I’m justifying my purchase of course. Doesn’t Buddy look smart in it?
