The Bears are 18 months old

Goodness can it really be! That means not only 18 months old, but we've had them for 16 months ... and they've truly turned my world upside down and inside out.

So I thought I'd share a few photos of them growing up.

I'm totally in love with them, but its not been easy at all.  Firstly, they're Terriers (enough said), next they're puppies, and lastly litter mates.

Now, I never took any of this into account when we got them, and part of me is pleased I didn't.  I read all sorts of things about litter mates not bonding with their owners, well that couldn't be further from the truth.  Yes, they adore each other.  Molly follows her brother everywhere, but when it comes to cuddle time, Molly is a Daddy's girl, through and through.  Bertie on the other hand is a Mummy's boy and my little protector.

We have hit adolescence now and boy when the books say, adolescence is worse than puppy hood, they're not kidding.  We're getting there, though and I wouldn't change it ... well, maybe some days lol.

So here you are ... a little throwback of photos for you .... I apologies now, for so many photos, but I did really struggle to keep it low in numbers.

 

I did say, there were rather a lot lol ... and this was after I whittled it down. 

I promise to share more of the bears with you on my blog in future.

Advent Day Goodies and a Special Birthday

Well all I can say, is I've obviously been on the good list as my Advent presents so far have been gorgeous ... Let me share with you, days 1 to 8

Each year we write out the papers or collections we like but this is usually done in September, so by the time December comes, its such a lovely surprise.  We both also asked for more paper this year than embellishments or anything too lumpy.  

I think we both need to just get on with our back load of scrapping projects, rather than faff, as that's what we're both so good at doing.  I can't wait to play with these gorgeous papers. 

On another note ... a certain two were one yesterday.  Goodness, this year has been a complete roller coaster for me. I've loved them to bits, and I can't imagine being without them, but they've turned my world upside down and inside out.  Adolescence has hit at the moment, so its a very trying time. Especially as they're terriers at that.  But we'll get there.  So here are a couple of photos. 

They're inseparable .... always have been. Its a joy to see.  Saying that, I can hear tug of war going on in the background, so I better go and check its with a toy, and not something they've grabbed off the workbench.  Yesterday it was my tea towel! 

I apologies for the blogs I've not been commenting on, I'm so behind on my blog reading, but I will catch up ... promise.
