What an exciting weeke have had !!!

Well I can't believe a week has almost gone since I last updated the blog, but what an exciting time we have had.
I have taken Amber and the puppies on a 550 mile road trip, from here in Cornwall to Slough in Berkshire.
Why you may well ask, well I was approached by Dogs Today magazine who are doing a Fido facts on cockerpoos in the March issue to take the puppies and Amber to a photo shoot which is held yes you guessed it in Slough.
So I packed up the car (you wouldn't believe how much "stuff" 7 puppies and their Mum need for 2 days away) and off we went (Becky came with me) to Slough.
You wouldn't have known that I had any dogs in the car they where so quiet and well behaved. I put the puppies in their crate and Amber sat in the boot as good as gold. we stopped at several service stations along the way for Amber to stretch her legs and have a wee, and for the puppies to have a bite to eat. We attracted quite a lot of attention where ever we stopped and have had the opportunity to tell people all about Cockerpoos, and what good pets they make.
We got rather lost finding where we were staying, (I NEVER want to drive in the dark and wet not knowing where I was going again.)The traffic was so much more intense than I am used to here in Cornwall.
We had to be at the photo studio in Slough for 9.30am and only found it with help from some very kind workmen who went out of their way to show me to the studio.
The puppies where SO well behaved and had a great time and "posed" like "pros".
Amber was unconcerned about the whole thing and was more interested in the "ham and hot dogs". Every one was impressed at how "laid back" all the puppies and Amber where by the whole thing.
The photographer took some GREAT shots of all 7 puppies and Amber. I will show you as soon as I receive the CD of the shoot.
On the way home we stopped at Membury services and met Paula and her family who are giving one of the dog puppies a home. Her little boy was more interested in getting a burger than the puppies.
We finally got home after a 6 hour drive but it was well worth it for the socialization and experiences it gave the puppies.
The puppies have slept for most of today afer their exciting time.
