    Well the one day i didnt take her into work, we had a shipment of new treats come in :) and of course the salon dogs get to try them out! (i work in a dog grooming salon)

    So i took a couple home for her to try (one was dried chicken breast and the other was dried mussel) and because i was at home im like! Video camera!! as she always has us in fits of laughter at her antics :)

    enjoy :)

    This is the chicken breast

    Most certainly!! Little Lewie does this…but to a slightly lesser degree (he's only 4 months old and I expect it to eventually develop into full on treat attacks!)

    Haha. So cute. It's like she's dancing for her "offering." =)

    Here in the US, I have seen mussel in various ZiwiPeak treats (made in New Zealand), but otherwise, it's hard to find. My dogs love it though! Is it a common dog food protein in Australia?

    lol never thought of it like that :) hehehe

    This is the first time we've tried the mussels as treats. I havent seen them around in other pet stores/shops here so i thinnk we are the first to offer them for sale.. we just order them in through our treats wholesaler.

    They are called NZ Green Lip Mussels .. and when you get a bag of them, oh boy do they STINK :P

    Hahaha I love the treat attack moves! Dex does that, also to a lesser degree. I hope it grows into this though! :)

    Not sure if you are aware, but the NZ Green Lipped Mussel is very good for both your B, but for you also. It is used to treat arthritis, and back pain. I have been taking it for severe arthritis in my right ankle for the last 4 years and it really helps. I found out about it from our Vet. he prescribed it for our Corgi when she had back problems about 13 years ago.

    So cute. We see that a lot, but mostly with toys. If Ariel took the time to kill her treats, the labradoodle would get them for sure;)

    You have a lovely girl!:) Thanks for posting!

    It never ceases to amaze me the great information I get from these boards! Nice to know!

    i know! its great isnt it! we get all these "healthy treats" in at work for the dogs and our customers (my boss does nutrtition and loves finding stuff like that). We also have dried minow (omegas) and lots of other goodies :) -also great for after her little accident

    I totally agree Quercus - especially about the oldies - it's a delight to see them dancing around..

    THIS IS HILARIOUS! How funny, Shango doesn't do this, Newsom doesn't either but I wish they did- how cute??

    Now imagine them on the African plains hunting a wild animal. Would theses tactics work?? LOL

    Thanks for sharing, very cute!

    Cara and Arwen, not so much. But Sayblee did that with many new foods, rearing and jumping on them, etc. Very very cute! Thanks for sharing!

    @MacPack: Glad to hear from you, Lysh, hope this year is better than last for you (health-wise anyway,the rest of the year sounds pretty OK). Love the photos, especially the "TP'd yard" and all the pics of the girls together, so sweet that they love each other. ..its been a roughish year but looking forward to the new year :) things have all come back on track, its just the hard yards getting back that level of health :) ..yes the tp'd yard, LOL …the other half was actually sitting in the boat doing his boat stuff and he forgot he left the door to the toilet open, well they took advantage of that error and he didnt actually notice until i got home and asked he what the ?? lol (of course they didnt get in trouble, just a stern talking to, afterall its only toilet paper-- thats the worst they do then im happy lol) although it would have been nice if they done it in the house, could have vacummed/swept it up but it was in the lawn lol did consider mowing but i didnt. @nomrbddgs: Hope you are feeling better. I am in danger of working myself into the ground as well, so I understand where you were-to a point (I'm putting a stop to it before I fall apart). Hope your CF is better and under control! The girls are sweet and love the TP incident. Always do what you love and the rest will come. Don't be a stranger!! .. hope things are better for you. nothing worse then working yourself into the ground. its horrible. CF is getting better, the girls help out with the physical stuff perfectly :D yes it was a classic TP'ing… we live at the end of the court, i could see our front yard littered with white as i drove up our road LOL neighbours might think we're crazy... @curlytails: Nice to get an update, and love all the pictures of you and your beautiful girls! The painted B is pretty neat! thank you! :) yes i love Hope's "tattoo" its so unique and it looks neat. she doesnt mind it at all. its been around a month and a half now. its slowly fading. thinking of getting it redone though :) @Shaye's: Lovely pictures! What did you do the "fancy work" with? My girls are both red and white and would love to decorate them like that with a holly and berries theme for Christmas, but don't know what to use! thank yoiu. We did the fancy artwork at work (i work at a dog grooming salon hehe). the girls went down south (sydney) to do a creative colour course and were taught down there how to do it. its very similar to henna but i forget the name (starts with B?) and so they brought it back and we used Hope to show it off (the girls come to alot of promo's and events with us~ they get totally spoilt with pats and doggy treats) as Townsville is quiet a small country town and we dont get alot of creative artwork/colouring around here (our salon is pretty much the first to do creative colouring up this way, there are other doggy hairdresses that do plain dyes too though). Ill attach some of our recent "artwork" :) all i could find on my pc :) the pink tiger and blue/yellow dog was done up for the RSPCA million paws walk :) we also attended a charity event for CF ~ a 5k walkathon .. group photo :) we were the only entered "dog team" and made our entrance with them all in red bandanas :) and heres a wet poodle :) mr Hugo :) [image: attachment_p_162667_0_agility-team.jpg] [image: attachment_p_162667_1_bridgette-pink.jpg] [image: attachment_p_162667_2_jed-bumblebee.jpg] [image: attachment_p_162667_3_lepoard.jpg] [image: attachment_p_162667_4_nail-art.jpg] [image: attachment_p_162667_5_pink-tiger-and-blue-and-yellow-dog.jpg] [image: attachment_p_162667_6_cf-walk-team-2.jpg] [image: attachment_p_162667_7_cf-walk-team.jpg] [image: attachment_p_162667_8_hugo-the-poodle.jpg]

    she went from being a fussy puppy to being a puppy that just wants and loves food. if you have food she will do any trick you ask her with 110% enthusiasam if it means shes gettin food lol but i am glad shes not a fussy girl! We are waiting to hear back from the breeder to see what pups are reserved and which arent. Very excited. Hope gets to play with a chinese crested at work and she also plays with another two iggies down at the small breed social i run every fortnight, she seems to know that she has to be careful with the smaller dogs :) shes not much into wrestling with others, more or less just wants to run run run! i will have to upload a video of her and yoshi (the chinese crested) playing at work (the most ive seen her play! as usually its just tag, now chase me!) and will post the link here. So funny and cute. will post iggie baby photos once a decision's made :) EDIT: Video link to them playing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDTjuz_tNpM

    She is so adorable! Makes me miss Shaye's puppy days, until I remember how often I prayed for her to hurry up and get older - something I still do, sometimes! Puppies are wonderful, and they are great teachers. I think by the time you live through puppyhood, whatever they do is fine, because it's "better" by comparison! LOL.

    Great pictures! The Ibizan is beautiful, as are the B's of course. My B loves the Pharoah Hound she sees at the dog park - bet she'd love the Ibizan as well! They look like they may have been an offshoot - thousands of years ago!
