This morning I was up bright and  early to let Tonrar and Zanthe out of the crates. They were pleased to be let out and with a burst of energy did some zoomies around the house. I was a little concerned that they might get side tracked and disappear down the drive but they didn't - they were very good at checking back in. After a good run they went into the pens until I joined them later in the morning to do some cleaning and tidying up of the Shed - actually MY shed!! A girl has to have a shed, kennel or stable as much as a bloke needs a shed!!

We did a walk to the beach today. Very exciting but due to management issues I was unable to be the photographer!! I could see two very expensive Shilohs disappearing up the Seven Mile Beach after a bird or some-one's fluffy!! So the photos I am posting were done at home with fully fenced fields! I did my best to get the girls tired. I did my best give them a wonderful day full of new experiences and I think I succeeded. My arms are now about two inches longer and I am tired too - but extremely happy!!

Wednesday 20th of May was a big day!! The Shiloh girls were finally released from quarantine and arrived in Tasmania. I was so excited that I could barely sleep the previous two nighs and work was a blur. But things certainly crystalised at 2 pm when Tonrar and Zanthe landed at Hobart Airport. I walked into the freight department to collect them and there they were, quietly lying in their crates, just waiting. As soon as I called their names Tonrar started barking and both girls were very excited to have company. We did a quick walk to so they could do their business and then it was up into the ute to go home. They had travelled very well but were extremely pleased to get out and have a run. Initially I was a bit concerned about letting them loose but after releasing them individually I decided there was no risk of them taking off.

After a short settling in period I popped their leads on and took them for a long walk. They certainly appreciated that. It was twilight by then and there were lots of interesting smells and the air was crisp, ready for a frosty night.  Poor Shady stayed home on this occasion because I had enough on my hands with the girls without worrying about a little dog. After being introduced to the house, I installed them in their crates for the night. I hope they had sweet dreams and are happy with their new home!!
