MEET ARCHIE. AN EARLY XMAS PRESENT.

   
















As you will know if you read by blog. We are pet lovers and have collected
quite a few pets of various shapes and sizes since moving to Cornwall
8 years ago.

So you will not be surprised to hear that we have yet another pet added to our
animal family.

This is the last cutie now! Fingers Crossed! The pets outnumber us now.

He is my early Xmas present  from my family.

So I would like to introduce my adorable 


                                                          
                                                            ARCHIE




                     

                                     He is a cream long haired Chihuahua.






In these pictures he is only 1 lb 8 ozs, So feels the cold. So I had to whip
up a little jumper to keep him warm. He is only 10 weeks old.




                             As you can see even his dog toy is bigger than him.





His mum was a short haired cream Chihuahua. And his dad was a long haired
red Chihuahua. So I think he will be medium fur which is cream with
a touch of red. And he has a tiny white mark on his head.


         

                       He sleeps in the plastic pet carrier as he is so tiny.

                       He now weighs 1 lb 12 ozs and has had his first injection.
                       The second is on Xmas Eve. Then he will be allowed to walk
                       outside. Not that I think he will be doing much of that now as
                       Cornwall has turned  so cold.


                      Never had a Chihuahua before, Any tips, advice.?
                      Do you like my new little friend.?
                      love to hear.


                     P.S. My other 5 dogs have met him and are not bothered at all.
                     And Bailey adores him, They are going to be great friends I think.
                     being that they are  youngest dogs.

BACK AFTER A LITTLE BREAK- HOME MADE CHOCOLATE CAKE


















HI EVERYONE.

It seems I have been on a longer break than I realised

It started out as a couple of weeks off to catch up with that thing called home life
but then life got in the way and it went on a bit longer.
Anyway.back now, thank you to all my followers for keeping with me. x


One thing I have been doing more of is baking.
It is hard as I only have a AGA so it is a bit of hit or miss.

But here is my children's favourite cake.

CHOCOLATE OF COURSE!









           I just used a old trusted recipe of an all in one cake.
          And made extra for some small cakes as well.







                              This is a well used family book (not just for children)
                              As you can see notes have been written over the years.






                                                       TWO



                                 Then there were THREE

                               




                                  And to stick it all together.
                                  More chocolate. Butter cream.




                                 It was yummy!
                                   
                             


.

                                 I think my cake making is getting a little better.
                               

                                What do you think?
