Well hello. Lotsa big news this week. I problee should have written a cupla posts fer all this stuff, but heer goes.
First up is the agility field news. Its done and we’re usin’ it. I included a picture of me and Ida-Boo standin in the field in front of some of our stuff. Dad calls it the agility field but I like to think of it as “Fergus Field.” Its got a nice ring to it don’t ya think. Send some comments on this ’cause I want dad to make a sign fer the gate way. Oh yeah, I mighta mentioned before abowt the mystery sticks that dad planted arownd the field. It turns out that they are posts fer the fence arownd the field. I believe that the fence it ta keep coyotes an foxes outa the field. This is ’cause they don’t have any trainin’ on using jumps and tunnels and they might get hurt on account of that.
Next big news is our kennel has a new web site at http://ballinorig.com. Dad’s still messin arownd with it ta get it just right, but there’s pictures of me and Ida and Merlin and puppies and me there fer your viewing pleasure and lotsa other stuff. Check it out and fer makin it easy theres a link in my blog roll over on the right.
And finally there is of course the weekly puppy update. The little monsters are a bit more than 2 weeks old now, so their eyes and ears are open and they have learned the all important skills of barkin and howlin. I learned some important things abowt puppy development. Fer instance the first thing that puppies start to do when they can see each other is start ta fight. Yup thats right. Its nuthin serious though since they are kinda wobbly and fall over every 2 seconds so the fights don’t last long. Similarly as soon as they kin hear, they start ta bark an howl. They are loud too! I’m hopin that next week they learn ta tell time so that they don’t start the mornin howl until a more sociable hour than sunrise. Anyhow I included a new puppy slide show with some pictures taken when they were 16 days old.
See ya later…Ferg 😀

Hey dude,
I fink de gility field looks great, I’ve got one of those see-saws aswell but aint got a hidey tunnell. Fergus Field’s a good name or ow about Fergus’s Idaway!!! Whatever name it will be great. Don’t you fink dem coyotes and foxes are abit fick we are all bruvvers in the end and we managed to find people to train us how to use the gility stuff. I guess we are just smarter dam dem. The puppies look real cool aint they gettin big. Nearly as big as de sheep now. Bet they will be loads of fun to play wiv. My mum says us big dogs ave to be careful when we play wiv littluns as we could urt them but she also says they ave really sharp little teef so they can urt us too. Bet we will be the ones dat get told off though!!!
Gotta go now, see you matey.
Hey guys! Thanks fer the coments. I reely like Fergus’ Idaway fer a name. I think that’ll be it. Piper, you kin come an play anytime that you like. Its always set up and ready to go an Hailey you will have fun with the puppies fer sure. You were jus like em not too long ago!

By the way Fergo,
Don’t you mean ” Ta Dah!!”
Da…da da daaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! is the beginning of Beethoven’s Ninth symphony.
Hate to be a stickler but I wouldn’t want people to think us beardies are all hair no brain,
Rusty
Well Rusty…that depends on if the daaaaaaaaaaaa is ascending or descending, an since I didn’t specify I kin understand yer confushion. I ment fer it to be ascending so its definitely not Beethoven. He was a Saint Bernard wasn’t he?
Ferg.
