Well Flea and I had such a good time last night. He figured out the new style box really quickly. Everyone was really friendly and they were very impressed with him. Halfway through training they asked if we would like to compete on Sunday :0). I was really taken aback but why not? One of the trainers said he is really fast and their will be a few things we can do to sharpen up his technique. So Flea is now a member of the Dream team and we have 2 shows booked already.
They did take some photos of Flea in action so as soon as they get uploaded to the web site I will add them on here.
After coming back from training a couple came round to meet the kittens :0) they couldn't decide so decided to reserve 2 kittens. They are calling them storm and Milly. So it is just my little favorite ginger kitten left at the moment. i can't believe he is last as he is super cute. I'm sure someone will fall in love with him soon.

Flyball
So I have finally found a flyball team for Flea to join. He used to do it before, ages ago and even came 2nd at crufts one year. However the type of box they use has changed and Flea has only done it a few times. I'm sure he will be ok though. He knows the basics and has more speed than I usually know what to do with. I am a bit nervous actually. We are going to go along for the 1st time tonight. Meeting new people is always scary for me. Flea, however is going to have a wonderful time. I'm sure he will do his best to figure out the new box. Fingers crossed they see his potential and invite us to join them.
As for the kittens, one of Bali's babies has gone to her new home already. The others are due to go home on Thursday and Friday. I am really ready for them to leave now. They are lovely but damn hard work when you have 2 litters. One of Asia's babies will be going to live with one of Bali's when she is big enough. I'm so please about that as little Lola is such a sweetie. Someone else is coming to look at the babies tonight so fingers crossed they might reserve one too :0)
I really should be getting ready to go to flyball but little Coco refuses to get off my chest as she is fast asleep. I just know she is going to yell at me when I move her.
Oh well here goes....

Cats cats and more cats
I seem to have cats everywhere at the moment. Asia's babies have started exploring now so I really do have kittens all over the house. I must admit a big part of me is looking forward to seeing Bali's kittens go to their new homes now. Little Coco has taken a real shine to me. She often comes up for cuddles and sleeps on my chest if she gets the chance.
Asia's babies are looking really cute, they have chubby little faces just like their dad. They are getting so brave now and seem to be all over the place. They seem to want to tell me about it all the time too lol. I have to be so careful walking anywhere in case I step on one.
I am currently looking for a new place to live as my new company want me to move a bit closer. Who knew it would be such a nightmare. I turned up to look at a flat in a converted manor house, close to work. It was massive. Only problem was I had been told it would take pets and when I turned up they denied all knowledge. What a wasted trip. The next place was perfect, the house was lovely, the area was lovely, right by the sea. Problem is it is 1hr and a half away from where I am now. It would be a real nightmare to get to see the ice hockey team from there. The dogs would have loved to live right by the sea but I am just not sure about being so far from everything. So I have one more place to see tomorrow, 37 mins from work, 40 mins from the ice hockey team and an hour from my close friends....So why do I keep thinking about the place by the sea?

4 days away
So a load of bees fans trotted of on our usual play off finals weekend in Coventry. Our team might not have been there to play but in true form the bees fans were the last ones standing. It seems we really know how to party lol. The poor DJ in Crosby's had to stay late as the bar owner said while we were there spending money at the bar he'd stay open until 1 am on Sunday.
So after 4 days away I come home to my little monsters. The bigger kittens pretty much look the same but the younger ones... wow they are huge! They are the sweetest things. The two black ones have really fat faces and look so much like their dad. The other two are really cute too but the little black girl I'v nicknamed Rosie is my fav. She sits there gazing at me :0)
I have moved them onto the sofa for the 1st time this evening and they are taking it in there stride. They have curled up next to me for a snooze.
As for the big babies, they are absolutely everywhere. They are so playful. The quiet moments are few and far between now :0)

updates
Well what can I say, all of Bali's babies have now been reserved. They are all going to really nice homes and I am sure they will have their new families wrapped around their little paws not long after they go home.
They are however driving me nuts. lol I am a plaything in their opinion. I can be jumped on, hung off, chewed, climbed on and any anything else that takes their fancy. Having said that there are moments where they come up for a nice snuggle and a sleep. I am so pleased that they are growing up, super confident, playful and friendly.
I must be totally crazy as one of Asia's babies from a previous litter is here on holiday. Add to that my mum's Tonkinese that I have agreed to find a new home for and I am totally over run with cats. I keep telling myself that only 4 of them are permanent residents to keep me sane.
Cuba is still being a really good dad and even uncle Indi is starting to teach the babies how to be a silly Burmese.
Asia's babies are growing fast now too. It is still a bit early to see their personalities but they are super cute. They have fat little faces just like their dad. I have finally got a new laptop now (thanks Dad you are a superstar) I can be better at keeping up to dad and uploading pic's . :0)

1st reserve
Well I am pleased to announce my 1st kitten has a reserve. The 1st baby to be picked was the little "alien" Smartie. I am so pleased she got picked 1st, She was really good and sold herself really well. I was worried that she would end up left behind but as she has got a bit bigger she is a lot less ugly :0)
I have more people looking at them tomorrow so fingers crossed more will get reserved for nice homes :0)
