For about a week
Bebhinn (pronounced Bevin) of Nutstown is now the new family
member.
After the loss of
Liath Cailín end of June, a new life was sorely needed in our family.
Life is the right
word, she has all sorts of ideas of how to redecorate our Living
room. She has a very stable
character, unafraid of new things and not easily impressed if we say NO to
something she shouldn't do.
When she arrived she
was 52 cm and had 19 kg, but this will change fast.

The first adventures
|
|
|
|
 
She has taken to
demonstrate, when she thinks t's time for food. She starts this about an hour
before,
lying in front of the feeding stand. But as this is a hard job, she
often goes to sleep at it

Bebhinn is like a wild
bumble bee, always busy, 24 hrs a day, if she had her will.
From the beginning
she made one of the small carpets I had laid out for protection her own. Slowly
but surely she started to tear it to bits. As she was also interested in our
antique Oriental carpet, I left the small one to her to avoid damage to the good
one. (there are some fringes missing and a hole in the good carpet anyway now
!)
Her 2 favourite toys
are a rubber cabbage head making very loud noises and a big knitted knee
stocking, filled with paper kitchen tissues and knotted at the end.
All the newly bought
bed sheets over the her mattresses are already torn to bits and also 2 hand towels, she
caught somehow.
The positive side is, that she leaves our shoes alone, also the
things on the coffee table as long as they are not edible.
At 4 months Bebhinn
weighed 23 kg at a shoulder height of 62cm.

A natural stack -
19.11.2006 - Autumn Walk
She now knows some rules and
many times already follows them. Unfortunately the waking ceremony is still
licking either face or feet of either my husband or me. If there is no immediate
reaction, she is up on the bed and tramples all over us, until someone gets
up.
On the other hand she is very
good, when she is off lead on our walks, she comes when called, sits and gets a
goodie of course. She understands already a lot, knows what it means, when I say
"Pipi" or "Wait" or "By foot, although sometimes ignores it, but "Goodie" of
course is always understood.

Bebhinn
seems zu have an infection in the urinary
tract, demonstrated by sudden "sins"
in the house and a greenish discharge.
So
we went to her dear friend the vet, she
has always some goodies in her pocket.
She
has to take AB for 10 days, no problem for
her, as she eats about anything
On
the scale she had 41 kg, 76cm at the
shoulder.
