Today at puppy class there were a lot more dogs than usual, 'coz we were going on an adventure! Oh, and I need to make a correction- it seems Volt's litter was 3 females and 3 males (not 4 and 2 as I originally believed). His sisters Vegas (pinkish collar) and Vossie (red collar) were with us at puppy class today, as well as his two brothers Vinny (he's wearing a purple collar in the photos and

This afternoon he weighed in at 11.4kg which is a whopping 1.7kg gain in the last week!! That is almost double what he's been gaining in the last few weeks! Granted it was after breakfast and lunch, so it may be slightly over-stated... Last night (Saturday) we headed out to some friends of ours to celebrate a birthday, and Volt went along with us. My friends have a 14 year old Dapple Daschund

It was puppy class again this morning, and Volt had his two sisters, Vegas and Vossie, to keep him company. I believe Volt's other two sisters (he was in a litter of 6) have gone down to Cape Town for a fledgling puppy-raising scheme there, and his brother Viking goes to different puppy classes as he lives on the guide-dog premises with his family, so he doesn't attend all the same classes with

Isn't he just gawjiss!?! He's 12 weeks old today, and he weighs in at 9.7kg! That means he's gained another 900g in the last week! He's now eating 120g of his puppy food 3 times a day and he has one or two of his meals in the car every day as he's battling a wee bit with carsickness (eating his meal in the car means he associates it with good things, rather than unpleasant nausea).

Volt is now 11 weeks old and weighs in at 8.8kg! He is eating 110g of Purina Olympic Puppy three times a day. He LOVES his food, but he has very quickly learnt that if he's bouncing all over the place he's not going to get any. Once he's calm and sitting nicely I put his food down, and he doesn't jump into his bowl immediately anymore. He's learning to wait until I say he may have it! Lunch and

I feel so bad! I completely missed their birthday and it was a week ago already! Turk and Diva, brother and sister, are two years old already! Beautiful, dainty Diva is not at all impressed with having Volt the guide-dog puppy in her house and remains aloof and mostly upstairs! Poor darling. Diva and Minx are the two acrobats in our house, and they are the ones who spend the most time either

From the day Volt arrived in our house, he has been taught that the food in the cats and dogs' bowls is off limits. We use positive reinforcement, and each time he went near the food I'd say "no" and reward him with praise when he walked away. An important part of guide-dog training is teaching the dog that just because its on the floor doesn't mean its his. Human food that falls off the kitchen

On Tuesday mornings (starting yesterday), Volt and I will be going back to SAGA for a weekly socialisation and training class. I was really nervous about the first class, but my PDS said that was perfectly normal for a first time puppy raiser. I was nervous because I was afraid they were going to think I'd done something wrong in the few weeks he'd been with me! If I don't raise and train him

Volt was 10 weeks old yesterday (Sunday) and we weighed him in at 7.9kg! He and Louise are getting on quite well, she's even playing with him a little some days. She will allow him to lie next to her if he behaves himself, but Thelma still keeps him away from her. He is now eating 100g of puppy food three times a day and boy does he love his food!

My sweet Louise (the black dog) had a seizure on Friday night and thoroughly freaked out my son and his friends as they were all sitting on the patio with Thelma and Louise at their feet. As soon as I walked outside and saw her lying on her side "running" in the air and foaming at the mouth I knew it was an epileptic fit. As she stopped twitching she sat up and looked at me- I had gone to

First of all, I've never had a puppy. Kittens yes, puppies no. Thelma and Louise were adopted as adult dogs from Wetnose, and I know how to sort kittens out when it comes to introducing them to a household and such. Cats are also very low maintenance and can be left to their own devices for the most part. You show a kitten where its litter box is and it will use it- simple as that. Puppies who

I found this post on PUPPYinTRAINING.com a while ago, and I thought I'd take the questions and answer them myself since we are being asked about the same kind of thing! Isn’t it going to be difficult to give the puppy back? Of course it will be! He is adorable and loving and intelligent and has such a wonderful nature! But I know why I'm doing this and why he's here with me. I know he will be

If the scale I am using is accurate, then Volt gained 1.7kg between his 8 and 9 week weigh-in! He was 7.1kg on Sunday at 9 weeks old! He is eating 90g of food 3 times a day and I can already see he's grown in the few weeks he's been with me. He had his longest car trip to date on the 2nd January and he was an absolute star! It wasn't even in the same car he normally rides in and the 90 minute

His food! He eats 3 carefully weighed portions of puppy pellets a day (AKA dry food, or kibble) and when he sees his bowl he gets very excited! He has to sit and wait until he is told he may eat. Wet grass! If he goes outside and the grass is damp from rain or dew, he literally dives into it! He rubs his face in it and buries his nose in it and rolls in it and chews it and just loves it.

... and Volt is responding beautifully to "come" and "sit"! And the girls- Thelma and Louise- are relaxing more and more. They have actually allowed the pup into their igloo kennel once or twice without growling at him! The cats are making their own peace with the situation, ignoring him or putting him in his place as necessary. He hasn't had any scratches yet but he has been hissed at lots

We adopted them together and we think they're sisters... or perhaps mother and daughter... But unlike a lot of dogs who spend every waking moment together, they don't snuggle together when they sleep! Even inside their igloo kennel, they are apart, one on either side of the round cushion. In the house at night they have a big square cushion and they each have a half of it. Even in winter!

Its actually quite incredible how fast this puppy dog - all of 8 weeks old and weighing in at 5.4kg - grasps instructions. He has been with me for a week and he already understands "no" and "leave it" (you can guess what I am saying a lot), he's fast learning "come" and "sit"! I am keeping him out of the flowerbeds and away from Thelma and Louise's food bowls with just a "no", and he listens! I

This puppy raising business is nothing to be sneezed at! When he's awake, he is constantly throwing himself around, he doesn't walk anywhere! I'm sure you've seen how puppies do that? How they throw themselves around? And they're all adorably clumsy? Aeroplanes flying overhead catch his attention! And he is getting taught not to bark at or chase the cats - who are still very wary of him but

I saw something like this on the internet a while ago, and decided it would be something fun to keep my furbabies entertained! It took ages for my household of three people to collect all the empty toilet rolls, but I finally had enough to make it challenging. It stands on the floor or on a table, and I put kitty treats inside the tubes. They must then find which tube its in and get it out! Minx

Several people have asked me what I will be doing with Volt whilst raising him, in terms of training. I think people are a touch concerned about whether I am qualified to train a guide-dog, but let me re-assure you, they have very specialised training AFTER they are grown. My job will be everything that comes before that- basic obedience training and raising him. Here are some details about what

My kitchen door's security gate is covered with a plastic mesh, which means I can open the door and the cats can see out, but they can't go outside. If you look carefully in the picture below you'll see Minx at the top of the gate, and you'll see a bunch of ribbons? They have a bell tied to them and Diva and Minx love climbing the gate and batting at the bell "spider"!

My feline furbabies are indoor cats, which means they do not go outside unless they're in a travel box or on a leash. For this reason I am always looking for new ways to keep them entertained and stimulated. Buying cat toys on the web (or in a shop) can cost you an arm and a leg, so if I can I make my own. A while ago I saw a toy on the internet that was literally a box with holes in, and here is

When our puppy from the South African Guide-Dog Association arrives shortly before Christmas this year, we will officially named "Volt"!! SAGA is happy with the name too so the hunt for a name is over! I will be blogging about this puppy raising adventure and all it entails, and you can look for the #SAGuideDogAssociation as well as #SAGApupVolt hash tags on Twitter in future. click on

I sent my three favourite names from the long list of ideas through to the South African Guide-Dog Association: Viking Urchin UV But Viking may already be taken by one of his litter mates and they're not terribly keen on Urchin or UV... We went back to wracking our brains and last night my husband suddenly had a brain wave with "Volt" as a potential moniker for our puppy! I rather like it so

My sweet Louise has kennel cough again! I can't believe it! When she was treated in July she recovered so well and I was sure that would be it! This last week, I noticed a couple of times that she seemed to be behaving a wee bit strangely, but I didn't notice the  same symptoms as last time, when she was gagging and throwing up slimy foamy blobs... And then this afternoon- on a Saturday afternoon

I am beyond excited! I got a call from the South African Guide-Dog Association today, and we will be collecting a male pup from them a little before Christmas! He is only a couple of weeks old at the moment so we can't fetch him just yet. He is yellow, he's a labrador/ golden retriever cross and we now have to name him! Something short for ease of use in training I think, and something that

On Tuesday, I turned my furbabies' life upside down by bringing an exotic pet into our house! Spike the bearded dragon moved into my son's room- in a terrarium of course- and the cats are absolutely fascinated! Minx and Diva spend ALL day in my son's room watching the lizard as if its a movie!

This morning I was in my bedroom reading and answering emails when I heard a dog squealing! Like when a dog is being beaten kinda squealing. I ignored it the first time since I've never heard our girls do that and we have a couple of dogs in the complex, one of which is a labrador pup. When it happened again a few seconds later I got up and looked out the window. I couldn't see anything but I did

This morning I rushed to answer my phone when the caller ID said it was the SA Guide Dog Association calling! I'm sure you remember we applied to be puppy raisers, and we've been waiting for them to let us know they have a pup for us. Well, I got a call this morning and I was ecstatic when Monica told me there was a male pup available- a labrador-retriever cross- and we could pick him up on

The girls are so cute when they spend time inside with me! They stay on their cushion and sleep, wagging their tails when when I look at them and smile. They are such good girls.

Today is the day we gave to our beautiful Magic as a birthday! We found a teeny tiny Magic in a shopping centre parking lot in November 2008, and when the vet guesstimated him to be about 4 weeks old we decided October 3rd was a good day for him to have a birthday! Here is Lord Muck on one of his favourite sleeping spots!

She's still recovering and she's walking around very gingerly - when she's not sleeping, the poor thing. But she's been spayed so we won't have to worry about her going on heat again. Her spaying cost me R700!! What are other people paying?

Minx is a little over a year old now, and she's tiny even for a female. And she STILL has a cough!  As a result the vet won't spay her because they're afraid her lungs and/ or heart can't take the anesthesia. She's had several courses of antibiotics and several treatments but she is fine for 2 weeks and then she's coughing again. And now, she's gone into season for the first time! I

Turns out Magic is a sensitive kitty- literally! He has always had this thing where he runs around the house and up and down the stairs as if he's being bitten by something- he shakes his feet and chews at his fur and runs and shakes and chews and jumps- and I am always concerned that somehow he's got fleas or some other parasite! Since our cats don't go outside they don't get ticks or fleas

Sweet li'l Minx, I can't believe its already your first birthday!! Minx noticed Glugster outside the kitchen door on the grass! We don't know exactly when you were born, so we gave you August 30th 2010 as a birthday since the vet guesstimated your age at 6 weeks old when you came to live with us!! You are still the littlest cat in our household, and you are the sweetest

Proof that Turk is getting closer and closer to sleeping with the girls! Thelma and Louise are still wary of him as I have taught them they're not allowed to touch the cats at all, but he's definitely worming his way into their space!

My precious Taxi cat's 7th birthday. I don't actually know when his birthday was as he was a foundling, I gave him a birth date that kinda matched his age when I adopted him, and today was that day. Hells bells I miss my sweet Tixanax... I still catch myself looking down the passage from my bed expecting to see him strolling towards me, his tail popping straight up into the air when I say his

I had a real giggle today! Thelma and Louise have been sleeping inside overnight and spending time inside the house with me in the day time for about 6 months now, and whilst the feline furkids no longer lose the plot when Louise comes haring in the front door- they're not exactly cosying up to each other either! Turk is the one who spends the most time going up to where Thelma and Louise sleep,

Louise I mean. :) She's on medication for kennel cough- cough mixture twice a day and a daily tablet- but she's completely 100% Louise again.

I don't know what got into Louise today but she was really behaving strangely! Thelma and Louise are very obedient dogs, but today it was like Louise forgot everything she's ever been taught! Louise is such a character. If you so much as glance in her direction she's ready to jump up and say hello and get cuddles. She's not a puppy- she's already going grey around her muzzle- and she and Thelma

The black and white jerseys I bought for them last winter have gotten so stretched that they now sit uncomfortably round their "shoulders" or slide right off at night!We are again expecting some severe cold weather, so today they got new ones, and whilst I was very tempted by grey jerseys with neon orange or pink dots on them, I could not resist the animal print!Here are pictures of the girls

Last week the representative of the South African Guide-dog Association finally had a chance to come and see me in connection with my application to be a guide-dog puppy raiser! As I mentioned before, raising guide-dog puppies is something I have wanted to do for many years. My situation was never ideal though- working full day, living in a flat, raising the knucklehead, etcetera- and now that I

I was going through some old notebooks and I found a little Greebo story dating back to 2006 or so... I bought a Pick 'n Pay roast chicken for Damien and I and whilst I was cutting it up at home Greebo was all over the kitchen begging and waving and asking nicely for a piece- but since he throws up so easily he can't have any. I walked out of the kitchen and into the passage to find he's already

Diva remains the queen of our household. She doesn't come running when food is served like the other cats do. She doesn't clamour for a treat or a piece of chicken like the other furbabies do. In fact, she'll wait on the stairs until we take the treat to her!She and Minx have races up and down the stairs and the passage, sliding to a halt at the top to the stairs as if they're trying to see who

I believe I have mentioned before (here and here) how Greebo "hunts" socks out of my son's closet and washing basket? Well, last Saturday night we went to visit my folks for dinner and when we got home, this was the sight that greeted us as we walked in the front door! Four dirty socks and one cleaned pair in a ball!And that's Greebo by the way, sitting at the top of the picture.

 Thelma and Louise came to live with us a year ago already! I can't believe how time has flown! Happy adoptiversary my sweet clever puppies!They still have no idea how to play, or what to do with doggy toys, but they chase each other round the garden - and Louise gets so excited when we go into the garden that she woofs and dances! Thelma is the smarter of the two, and the most obedient. :)

What's going on with my furbabies!??! Magic has always been a little different to my other cats in that he seems to prefer his own company. Greebo and Diva almost always sleep on my son's bed at night, Turk and Minx (like Taxi used to) almost always sleep on my bed at night. Magic almost always sleeps downstairs on the couches, but he does love my son Damien so he sometimes sleeps on my son's bed

So my precious Taxi is back at home with me. So to speak.Here for your admiration are a few of my favourite pictures of him.His beautiful 7kg furry bulk and purr and personality has been reduced to the contents of a small wooden box.But he is home with me again.I can't tell you how much I miss my boy.

Shoowee... Its been a rough week. And just a warning, this serves as a bit of a TMI warning for this post. This afternoon around 6PM it was a week since I suddenly lost my Taxi. I am still waiting for his ashes after we arranged to have him cremated. An expense I know, some might say a waste of money, but I can't imagine not having him with me. And then, this morning after I woke up, Minx

I have decided to get a small tattoo in memory of my precious Taxi cat. I don't know yet what I will get, my tattoo artist and I are working on a design... It won't be a very big tattoo, and I want to incorporate his name into it somehow. As soon as its done I will put a picture up here of course.

Greebo is sleeping on our bed almost every night. He hasn't done that since I brought Taxi home as a kitten...

I miss the way your tail would pop straight up as soon as I spoke to you when you were walking down the passage or into a room. I miss the way your nails would click on the tile floor as you walked. I miss that funny little skipping jump you did in the morning when it was time to go down to breakfast. I miss the way you always looked me right in the eye when you came towards me. I miss how you

My darling boy. My silk brick.My sweet snickerdoodles, who slept at my feet on the corner of my bed, or on top of me should the opportunity have presented itself. My darling tixanax who went wherever I went, including opening doors so he could let himself into the room I was in. My precious snickers who slept on the couch where he could see me if I was downstairs, and went running up the stairs

My kitties love to snuggle with each other... Minx and Magic seem to be exceptions to this. Both of them are completely integrated into our furry family, and they all play together and sleep on the same couch and the same bed and eat together, but I very rarely- if ever- see Magic or Minx snuggling with the other cats.

We're looking at a really cold winter, so I spoke to my Glugster and we decided that we would start training the girls to sleep inside the house overnight. The girls sleep outside in their igloo, and because my cats are indoor cats the doors stay closed so they can't get outside. Bringing the girls inside meant they had to be taught to sleep only in one place, and they had to be taught that the

This is Minx and Diva! We heard a noise and my son went to look what was going on, and he found these two mischievous little girls in his bathtub!! We have learned the hard way that our cats LOVE toilet rolls that can be unrolled and tangled up! Naughty girls!!

Turk has a favourite pose in which he often falls asleep (I've mentioned this before), and I recently found out its called the "Buddha position" and is commonly attributed to the Scottish Fold cat breed!I wonder if my Turkinator has some fold in his bloodline... :P

You know how cats spend so much time asleep? Well, Turk is no exception. He loves the damp towel that lies on my bathroom floor when I get out of the shower. If my hubby leaves the lid of his stamp collecting box lying on the bed Turk will climb into it. And he is a pretzel cat! He folds himself up into the strangest positions when he sleeps!

Turk and Minx love to snuggle with Diva! And she's often the one who will seek out one of the other furbabies in the house to snuggle with them!

It was a little tricky to get photos and play fetch at the same time, but I managed to get a few shots of Turk playing "fetch" with me on my bed! He uses all sorts of things to play fetch with and this day it was an old slipper of mine! He brings it to me, I throw it, and he brings it back! When he drops it on the bed, and I take it to throw it, he goes flat on the bed and his pupils get all big

Is she not the most beautiful cat!!?!   And she is still the little acrobat in the house! She's most often the one climbing the security gates, and her favourite game is to make my heart stop by jumping up onto the staircase railing!!

My darling Taxi, my brick wrapped in silk, goes wherever I go. If I go to the bathroom or take a shower he opens the door to let himself in so he can join me. One Sunday night, after baking the whole weekend, I was exhausted and my hubby ran a bath for me and I haven't had a bath in aaaaages! Taxi thoroughly enjoyed this as I was down on his level and he walked round and round the edge of the

      Minx, who is about six months old now, has two spots in the house where we are guaranteed to be able to find her at some point during the day. The one place is the corner of the one couch in the living room. Its just the one corner- the back end of the armrest where it meets the backrest.And her other favourite spot is the top corner of a shelf of the desk in the study- whether there are

I have an old couch on my stoep. I put it outside for when I have visitors as we entertain a lot, and since its been outside Thelma and Louise have annexed it for themselves. Thelma is the one who is chilled. Once she's gone around to greet all the visitors she'll settle down and go to sleep. Louise is the one who will look for a handy foot to seat herself against. And Thelma is the one who

My beautiful brother and sister cats- Turk and Diva- are both suffering from feline acne! I didn't even know it existed! About a month ago, I noticed black flecks on Turk's white chin, but I hadn't seen it on Magic's chin and I hadn't noticed it on Diva... So I dismissed it as sloppy grooming and eating on Turk's part. He is just a little boy after all. And then the day before yesterday Diva

This morning early, I got a call from my son. They started back at work today after a lovely long December holiday, and the sudden and very loud activity on the site scared away what was discovered to be a mommy cat. The knucklehead found a tiny grey and white kitten in the grass and asked me if I would please help him help the baby. I went to fetch the kitten from my son's work, and he had

I do believe I have mentioned how Turk will sit in some crazy position to have a bath, and then just stay that way! Here is Turk- who was asleep until I moved on the bed to take his picture- in a classic Turk pose! He was fast asleep, in this position!

All my cats have always loved playing with a marble. Its rolls with next to no touching, it bounces, and it makes a noise on the floor! They love it when I put a marble in the bath as they can chase it round and round for hours without losing it, and it makes a noise! But I watch them closely as a marble can be easily swallowed or choked on. As soon as they've had enough playing in the bath I

He is just so precious! He is almost a year old and still falls asleep with his tongue sticking out occasionally!  He also has an uncanny knack of folding himself up like a pretzel to have a bath- and then staying in that position when he's done!! He is such a dude!!
