Henrix Papillons Twiglets story

Twiglet - The inside story

Lorah's Girls Aloud at Henrix - Twiglet - 22nd October 2008

Twiglet is a very sweet dainty red sable Papillon who joined us on Valentines day 2009.

More details and pictures coming soon.

16th Feb. Twiglet has been to visit my mother and behaved beautifully. She loved going in the car. She even walked a little way on the lead! All the staff at the nursing home made a fuss of her.

Afterwards she had a great time rushing around the garden.

Twiglets' Diary

18th Feb. Just back from a nice walk round the square. Twiglet is getting used to having a lead on and is beginning to grasp walking in a straight line!

She loves having a 'hurtle' round the room and the others watch in amusement except for Bryn who always wants to join in the fun!

Twiglet gets on well with all the other paps especially Poppy.

Twiglet went to her first ring craft tonight. She was a star! She was very confident and although not formally taking part as it was her first time she walked up and down the room very well. She really enjoyed the steak!

22nd Feb. Twiglet came to the show to watch and learn!

She had walk in the ring and really enjoyed herself. A star in the making! A confident and happy little dog. (picture left)

23rd Feb. Another trip to visit the nursing home. Twiglet had lots of cuddles from the staff and patients. She doesn't mind going in the car.

On getting back home she enjoyed a play in the garden with the other paps.

26th Feb. Twiglet attended her first proper ring craft session last evening. She was brilliant, walking most of the time as if she had been in the ring many times before! Nicely behaved on the table. She liked making friends with the other paps and a little poodle!

We have just visited the nursing home again and all the staff love seeing her!

A nice walk round the square when we got home.

Time for a rest before a run in the garden with all the others this afternoon.

28th Feb. Practice in a nice big ring at a show today. (pic. above)
Twiglet did really well, walking around the main show area with her tail wagging. She had lots of cuddles from people and met some nice children.

2nd March Twiglet loves to play with Smartie, Bryn and Poppy. She especially enjoys rushing around the garden chasing the other paps!

10th March Twiglet had her vaccination today. As always she behaved so well. Her training is progressing very well and she goes to table dog ring craft each week. Her first show will be WELKS in April.

What a pretty little papillon!

17th March Twiglet continues to do thrive and has settled in to life at Henrix Papillons very well.

She is delightful to watch and very amusing.

We are looking forward to showing her next month.

24th March 2nd vacs done this morning followed by a walk round the local garden centre. Twigs chose a toy for herself for being so good at the vets. Back home for a play in the garden with Henry.

26th March - Today Twiglet brought me a present, a dried up frog!!!!! Yuk!

I had a chat with her and told her I prefer chocolates.

She has progressed from little twig size chews to the next size - should I change her name to Branch?
