The Dog Days...or should I say School Days?

I really should apologize for my lack,or rather disappearance,of posts lately! One word........School!!!

2 months back at this point and Halloween break is quickly approaching, it arrives on Friday! The longest stretch of the school year without a break.......I think?? 

Oscar has been good, his usual self, if not a little more energetic when we come home from school,what with being alone for a while he just cant contain himself! 
We haven't really been doing anything too interesting since i went back to school,and we haven't been to agility training in about 2 and a half months either (bold agility dog owner indeed!!!) I keep meaning to go but there is always something going on during the weekends and we obviously can't go during the week, and school can take all the blame on that one!

We came very close to getting another dog recently. Our friends (we carpool to and from school together but its really very hard to explain) took in 2 lovely gordon setters who were badly treated and skinny. There is a male,Alfie, and a female,Beth, and they are,supposedly, pure bred working gordons. 2 weeks after they arrived Beth had,to the owners surprise, 6 puppies! Everything has been going well,apart from 1 death, and i had asked about getting one and it was all looking good but that soon fell through. They are planning on selling these puppies for €400 each!!!!! And that to me is totally wrong! These puppies are not KC registered,they do not know the father (because its not Alfie), the came from a rescue dog and they have nothing standing for them in terms of working achievements (the parents not the pups obviously). And not to mention no health tests (but they aren't necessary in Ireland) 
So its a no go on that idea.
But we still may be getting another dog. A rescue dog though,i think its better to rescue. So fingers crossed!

I really do not know what to talk about? I haven't done anything interesting in 2 months!
I did take some photos of Oscar and the horses yesterday.

Large,Medium,Small!

And i have a few more photos of some kittens that I'd like to share.

Hopefully we will be able to get to the JFK center some time next week. I think Oscar would enjoy the trees and the woods and the open space....Oh and the mini train!!!!! I'd love that too,it would be nice to have an outing with him and hopefully my friend can come too.  He cant be let off leash (not that I think I'd let him anyway) but we can use the long line.

So maybe there will be many more updates to come!
