Yes, we've been away too long....so what's been keeping us so busy we hear you bark?
You ready? Well, let me tell ya......

We've had lots of "issues"....some PC related (again!), some paint related and some neither.
We've also been zooming around so much it's a bit of a blur....
Let's see..........well, we had some VERY special visitors all the way from Slovenia. Luna's human came to see us!
Luna's is one of the very first blogs we came across when we first started ours way back in September (OMDog, just realised we missed our own Blogaversary....duuh!!) so we were really excited to finally meet Teja......not only is she a fellow blogger.....she's from a whole nuther country AND she has a Beagle (so she loved us!). She had baked us some lovely treats (yummy cookies) and gave our Mum and Dad some really cool gifts, including a book about Slovenia for when we go to visit them (ahem.....you BETTER be taking us M&D! Heyyy, it's nextdoor to Italy so maybe we could see those lovely Golden boys and Maya too!)
We went to Findhorn Bay, it was a lovely evening and Teja got some beautiful photos......check out her blog to see them! (she really does take lovely pics)

Dad was in charge of the treats.....he's less of a push-over than Mum! We were so excited to have someone to show off to we got the zoomies.....and after Rosie & Gabbi had tied Nina's legs up with their silly long leads Mum finally gave in and let them off to play properly. (and they behaved....OMD!!)

We zoomed.....

.......and played......

....until we were all zorsted! (thanks for that word Ludo!)

Thanks for coming to visit us guys, come back soon....and big juicy slobbers to Luna, if it weren't for her we would never have met!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We've done a couple of dog shows, well, the girls have.....us boys are retired you know!
First it was Roseisle companion show....Gabbi was 3rd Hound. It was a lovely sunny day :o) Mum made the ribbons for the show and you can see them on her rosette blog.
Then Mum and the boy took Gabbi & Rosie all the way down near Stirling for the Scottish Beagle Club show.

This guy almost came to a sticky end as he stood in the middle of the road wondering what the hurry was!

There was a wedding before the show, two fellow Beagle exhibitors were tying the knot there as it's such a beautiful setting and all their friends were there anyway, it was really lovely. 
No ribbons to take home....Gabbi came 4th in her class but we had a lovely day, catching up with friends we haven't seen for ages :D

Beautiful Alva


Mother is now wishing she'd a) smiled....or....b) used the crop tool....or.....c) DIETED!

The Winners
We had arranged to go and see Marvin and his J before coming home but the show went on a bit too long so sadly it didn't happen.....probably because of the hilarity involved in getting this shot, what a hoot! (If you click on the SBC link above you'll see a much better version as Photo of the Month!)

Such a shame, we were so looking forward to it.....nevermind, next time Jeannie! (and sorry!!) We did manage a detour to Edinburgh for IKEA though, and the girls got to share a portion of meatballs for being so good.......grr, didn't save any for the boys!

This is how the sky looked out of our kitchen window the night before the show (Friday....see, I was still sort of taking part in SWF!)
We've had some beautiful weather too so we've managed some lovely walks at the beach and park.....but this post has already taken hours so we'll do a separate post for the walks.......and you'll get to meet this handsome fella!

So until next time folks.......

SLOBBERS!!!!
