I filmed the woofs out on my walk the day before yesterday with my iPhone. This is our regular haunt.
Tia is the noisy excited one. Can you spot George?

Elsa sent me some lovely pictures of Cora to coincide with the pups’ birthday last week. Oh, how happy I was!
Cora is doing incredibly well, Elsa tells me, and is the pride of the farm. Apparently she tears about continually and is as sharp as a needle.
A bit like her brother George then, who has come back to Kennel Björkwood for a holiday. But more of George later. Here are the pics of Cora. Gorgeous.
Let me at them!
Serious about the business at hand
The lady of the house

It’s one year ago today that Aggie had her pups. It was a very stressful day for me because initially she just wouldn’t go into labour and she had to have a C-section. Her calcium levels were so low we were all very concerned and for a while it looked like the pups were in danger. But thankfully the surgeon at Arninge managed to get the pups out in time before there were any more complications.
Aggie was a wonderful mum, really looking after her pups with a care and gentleness that surprised me because she can be a bit of a grouch sometimes.
Looking back, I have many wonderful memories. These pups really won my heart over and I still think of them a lot.
Thanks to Anders and Annette who sent on birthday pics of my lovely Cornelius. He looks stunning and in wonderful condition. To think I had to dash with him to the vet at two weeks when he had a lung infection and it looked very touch and go for a while. I sat up with him for 36 hours, watching his every move.
Cornelius - A big brave woof ?
Or a couch potato?
Update 1::
Maria, Ove and Emrik sent over some lovely pics of Claudius. He was always Margrét’s special little boy. What a stunner!
Cute Claudius. The 'baby' of the litter
Update 2:
Jill is poorly so George, my special George, has come home for a little holiday. And on his birthday too. I can’t believe how he looks so much like Aggie. I’ll post photos soon. He’s currently snuggling in the dog basket with Tia.
I’ll post any other pictures that come in to celebrate the pups being 1 year old today.

Let snoring Bassets lie...
I‘ve scribbled an Aggie Christmas story that’s been published over on the Intellidogs Advent Calendar. Please show Karen and all the woofs your support.
Ps. This is the counter mentioned in the story !

What a handsome boy!
I received some lovely pictures from Anders of Cornelius out and about in the countryside.
What a handsome boy Cornelius is turning into.
He was such a gentle pup. A real gentleman.

No, we're not trick or treating!
Winnie and Aggie are not in the mood to trick or treat. They’ve just scoffed their dinner and are snoring it off.
Bernard and Tia are hiding in the dog room, keeping an eye out for any young tricksters in need of a good woof!

'Remember when we were pups?'
Great news from Ann-Britt today. Tilda did well again at a show down south. Ann-Britt writes:
Tilda hon blev BIRvalp med Hp och fick denne kritik:
“Supercharmig tikvalp,vackert huvud,utmärkta ögon , öron.
Vacker hals , bra rygg.
Härlig kropp , utmärkt benstomme ,bra vinklar , rör sig med fria lätta steg , trevligt temperament.”
As an added plus she got to meet up with her brother George (Caliban). Here’s a gorgeous shot of the two of them reacquainting themselves with each other.

Yes, definitely very cute!
Donna sent me some lovely pictures of Nelly and Dylan enjoying the autumn sunshine in the UK. Talk about two gorgeous hounds. Don’t you just love their colouring?
Nelly (left) is the latest Houndbay woof to step into the ring and she qualified for Crufts first time of showing. Dylan’s already a Crufts winner.

Now where did Emrik go?
Many thanks to Maria, Ove and Emrik for sending over news about Margrét’s favourite boy, Claudius from the C-litter.
The pup that was so very small has become a big boy now. I remember holding him in my hand just after he was born. He was so very tiny – but now look at him!
Claudius is doing very well on Gotland and seems to be enjoying himself mucking about with Piff (the cat) and Emrik, his best friends. What a lucky chap.

Cora takes a breather for a moment
I was so thrilled to receive pictures of Cora from Elsa today. My goodness, doesn’t my girl look like her mummy? I can’t believe how much she looks like Aggie.
...before zipping out for a little swim
Cora is so unlike Aggie when it comes to personality, from what Elsa says, because she loves to swim and tear around the farm. Agsie, as anyone who knows her will tell you, is probably the laziest basset there is.
It sounds to me like she picked up her playful nature from hanging out with Winnie and Tia before she moved south with Elsa. Now they’re two basset hound girls who love to romp around in the forest for hours.
