Me in Willow's bed
I cant believe its more than a week since mummy wrote my blog for me. We have been busy with this thing called christmas. Mummy worked an extra day last week, and we had a busy weekend with Ethan visiting.
I have had lots of walks to the park with Daddy. We always play ring zinger and tug of war. I have been meeting other doggys at the park too and we play lots of fun games.
Alice and mummy took me to the doggy beach yesterday because it was hot. They threw a ball for me and I got to run through the water after it. I met a nice dog there – it was a mastiff and about the same age as me so we played in the water for ages. I was very tired when I got home, and had to sleep for a while.
Alice said she was going to take me to the doggy beach again today because it is going to be hot.
I have been very busy helping Daddy dig the garden again, but I wont be doing that today, its too hot.
I visited Willow on the weekend. We had lots of fun playing in the yard. There was a duck living down the back in a pen. I got in to have a closer look and it hissed at me. Willow’s mum told me to get out of the pen so I did. I dont think the duck wants to play with me, and Willows mum doesnt want me to try and play with the duck.
I was so excited when my people came to pick me up. They were all so happy to see me I think they must have missed me the same as I missed them. It is nice to be home again.
Mummy didnt look very happy when I finished off digging the garden bed I started the other day. She said something about me having a scorched earth policy, I wonder what she means?
Daddy took me for a long walk to the park to play with the zinger ring this morning. It was a lot of fun, then I had to come home and have a sleep because my paws were tired out.
I have to go now and rest my paws some more, talk to you all soon
This week Daddy has taken me to the park every day so we can play with the zinnger ring. It hasnt been too hot so I can run around without getting so puffed out.
Mummy planted some pretty flowers for me a week or so ago, I wanted to help keep them nice so I did some digging of them too, but they got all floppy and not pretty. I hope mummy doesnt get cross with me for it, I really was trying to help.
Maybe they will be ok, the tree that daddy moved at the same time has got a bit brown and floppy too. I wonder if they are supposed to do that when you dig them?
Tonight I am staying at Willow’s house because the people have to go somewhere in the car, and they said it would be a long boring ride. I am glad, I get to run aroung Willow’s big back yard with her instead. I do miss my people though when they are not here.
Today Rob came over to visit me – I like it when people come to visit me – they play with me and make a fuss of me. Mummy also bought me a new toy, a rubber ball mate out of fins. It is nice and chewy, and I can toss it around and play with it. It looks funny when it rolls on the ground and the fins make patterns.
Well time to be off to Willows
Well the weekend was a bit boring because it was wet, but I did still get my walks in between rain showers.
On Friday Stephen took me for a drive in the car to pick up Ethan, and then I had Ethan to play with all weekend. The trouble was he had a new Nintendo DS game, so he didnt want to play as much as normal. Oh well.
Yesterday I got some lumps on my skin and mummy found a couple of fleas. She says that I must be allergic to flea bites so she put some stuff on the back of my neck to get rid of them.
Today it is mummys birthday. She is 50 – that seems very old – but she still feeds me and plays with me and walks me so it cant be too old.
Mummy said to me yesterday that I am going for a sleep over with Willow again on the weekend. I like to visit Willow, she has a nice big backyard, and her mummy is nice to me, but I do miss my people, especially mummy when she isnt there.
Mummy has been busy this week reading a book about blogs, so she hasnt had time to do my paw work and keep my fans up to date. She has found time to take me for walks still, so that is good.
Mummy bought some new rings for my ringer zinnger on Tuesday, so now I can play with it again when Daddy takes me to the park, but we cant play tug of war with the rings because they break, so Daddy has to take a special tug of war ring with us as well.
Alice took me to visit my doggy mum and dad yesterday, but they were a bit grumpy so their mummy said I shouldnt go out in the yard with them. It was nice to visit their mummy though, I remember her from when I was a tiny little pup, she is a nice lady, but she always wants to check my ears and bones and things, and they talk about how I am growing and how big my paws are. I think they are perfect for digging!
Yesterday I spent some time digging in the new garden beds that mummy planted on the weekend. I thought she might like some of the flowers moved further down the yard. She didnt seem very happy when she saw them, and she put them back where they started. I really dont understand – if she likes flowers so much, why doesnt she want some at the back of the yard too? and what does the word “mangled” mean?
On Saturday one of my Fans, Rob came to visit me. I was a little bit shy at first, but then I got to know him and he was nice. I helped Daddy dig in the garden a bit, and I played with Tommy kitten.
On Sunday Rob came to visit me again, and I helped Daddy spread top soil all over the back yard. It was fun. I dont understand why mummy yelled about dirty foot prints in the house – of course my feet get dirty when I dig the dirt. She didnt yell at daddy for dirty foot prints. I suppose it is different because he can take his foot covers off – but I cant.
I went to visit Willow on Sunday night and had a sleep over. I felt a bit lost without Mummy and Daddy, but Amanda was very nice and kind to me – she even let me sleep on her bed.
You can see a picture of me at Willows. I just dont understand why I dont fit in Willows bed – I am sure I used to fid in beds like that.
This morning mummy picked me up from Willows house – I was so pleased to see her, and to be home again. I dont think the cat is too happy I am back though.
On thursday it was hot, so I flopped around in front of the fan most of the morning. Later, Alice and Mummy took me to the doggy beach and I ran through the water playing with the other dogs. One of the other dogs had a tennis ball and we chased that in the water. It was hard to pick it up from the water because I kept getting water in my nose, and the ball just bobbed and floated away.
When we came home I had chicken and a nice long sleep.
On friday the people took all the furniture out of the rooms, and a man came with a noisy machine that did something to make the carpet wet. Then then mummy and daddy put the furniture back. The weather was very hot, so I stayed in the back room in front of the fan and flopped.
Ethan came last night, and I slept on his bed with him – I love Ethan, He is a lot of fun.
It was hot today so I didnt want to run round as much. It is nice to lay in front of the fan and feel the cool air on me.
Mummy gave me minced chicken for dinner today – it was better than the people food which was leafy stuff – they can keep that!
Tonight Alice took me to training and I had to try and remember what the hand signals meant without her saying the word. That was not too hard, but then she had to say with word without the hand signal, and I sometimes get confused with the new words.
I dont understand why she wasnt happy when I did the drop – at home she laughs when I roll over and wave my paws in the air, and I like it when she rubs my tummy.
Oh well its a bit cooler at night, but I am tired from training so I will sleep.
Today Daddy was playing in the garden – so I thought I would be nice and help him. Funny he didnt seem to like the hole I dug as much as he liked the stuff he did. Maybe he will get to like it better if I make it bigger.
Mummy and Alice took me to the doggy park when Mummy got home from work. I had a nice long run, chased some birds, and sniffed a lot. Alice wasnt very happy when I chased a bird into the water. She was grumbling about wet dog and muddy paws on light beige car seats. I cant see the problem myself, its only mud and water.
There were chicken necks again to eat – and some people food left overs. Mumy even gave me a little bit of her best brie cheese as a special treat.
Oh well time to go and dig that hole a bit bigger so daddy is surprised when he goes outside.
