Hawk pups at 12 weeks

Here are the last few pictures of the pups at our place before being sold \ moved to rearers.

We have sold 3 bitches and kept 4 dogs for now as the 2nd litter by Scolari contains 2/3 right good dog pups (at this stage of their careers) fingers crossed they can keep going the way they are. Anyone interested in a Hawk x Dior pup is welcome to contact me for a price.

Here are 2 links to the pups on youtube

Dog house needs a final plaster and a lick of Sky Blue paint but even in a recession in Ireland waiting for a plasterer "don't hold your breath"

The garden is coming along

The new veg plot (to be) trip to Johnny the farmer for some manure and ideal spot for burying any green party door knockers!




There is a noose at the bottom of the garden for any passing anti's :-)

WSOP update

Well I reached level 5 of 6 on Pokerstars but back to level 1 after playing to loose.

I have recently (2 days ago) changed\tweaked my style of play and instant success as entered a 440 player competition on Paddy Power poker and won it - a nice $816 pick up which has boosted the bank roll.

Think I'll enter a few WSOP qualifiers and attempt the Vegas dream once again. It certainly boosts your confidence winning in a field of 400 or so players.

The picture is my Poker Avatar - I think the beard throws my opponents off the scent when I have quads!!

WSOP 2009 Playing against Denis Phillips!

Well today was an experience, continuing my on going dream\adventure of attempting to qualify for the World Series of Poker 2009 via PokerStars Steps I ended up playing Denis Phillips at step 3 (for those that don't know Denis was a finalist in last years World Series) - Twice I tried to bust him out, first with a pair of 10's and Denis went all in after the flop of Q,9,2 (rainbow) and he had QK - I shouldn't have called but I just had to try and bust Denis out. The second time I had 9-10 suited with a flop of top pair 9's. Denis went all in and having him covered I called only to find he had A9 eventually I finished 3rd so just missed out on qualifying for step 4 but still back in step 3 and I'll attempt step 3 again tomorrow. Bring on Phil Hellmuth!!

Would also add that Denis already has his seat at this years WSOP and he was playing for the practice - nice! And he is a friendly fellow. Did I learn anything....Yes... play my own game despite who the opponent is. I look forward to next time Denis!

Pups arrive in Czech Republic

Newmac Dior looks to have settled in well. Fingers crossed she can win some races for her new owners.
