First steps

 

 

 

Ok soooo I mastered steps when I was knee high to a grasshopper

 

The title instead, refers to a new game I invented tonight.

 

I perch above the doorstep

drop my ball down it and wait for my hooman to pass it back to me

or lob it back down the hallway depending on their mood - great fun!!!

 

Maybe more fun for me then them *winks*

Bedtime

 

 

 

After a busy day there is nuffing like flaking out on the bed.

 

There is no hard or fast rule into where the best place is to sleep

 

top

middle

or bottom,

left ... right

or dead centre

horizontal

diagonal

under

over

 

The bed (not the world) is your oyster!

 

The only rule worth remembering though

is to get there earlier than the hooman's to steak stake your claim

on the best spot before they do!

Bone of Contentment

 

 

 

I have exchanged contention for contentment.

 

Comfy sofa. All mine. Equals one contented dog!!!

I wanna be ...

 

 

 

... a 'well known brand of toilet paper' puppy!!!

 

 

Oh dear the things I am being made to do in the name of POTD

 

 

And a note to those labradors ... watch your backs as I am hot on your trail.

Tongue Twister

 

 

 

Ok so sometimes the hooman's torment me by hiding food in this toy.

Tonight's challenge was scrambled egg!

Grin

 

 

 

Another technique I use to prolong a game of ball is The Look ...

 

... and The Whine and The Tail Wag

 

 

A combination of all these things helps the game last longer.


I'm hard to resist ...

Caught!

 

 

 

 

I have trained my hooman's to throw a ball for me to chase after.

This is a game I could play for hours at a time - without growing tired - but sadly they seem to grow bored of it after only a few minutes.

 

I need to work on their stamina!

 

It is amusing to hear their reaction if I catch the ball.

 

Something I do to try to keep their interest.

 

They say things like

 'clever boy' 'well done' 'good job'

 

Makes them feel like they are in control.

 

I know better ...

... Fussy!

 

 

 

I'm sure I've moaned about being fed kibble before.

 

If I haven't. I should have.

 

 

It might be made with all the nutrients, vitamins, minerals etc a growing pup needs

BUT

it is boring eating the same flavoured/coloured/dry biscuit

over and over and over again.

 

Every mealtime

Every day

Every week

Every month

 

Well the hooman's sure don't soooo why should us dogs put up with this?

 

Anyywayys

 

Sometimes I get leftovers.

 

These comprise of whatever the hooman's don't eat, don't like etc

 

I guess it is better than nuffing. Livening up an otherwise monotonous meal!

 

So when I get leftovers, I tend to nose the biscuit out of my bowl in favour of the tastier food.

 

Clever huh???

Dirty Rascal

 

 

 

I'm the king of the castle ...

 

 

Ok so even though the weather has been dry for the last couple of days

the ground is still very muddy in places and guess who got his paws all dirty???

 

 



February 16th 2013

 

Places to be ... people to see

 

 

Another sunny day so I dragged my hooman's out on a walk to make the most of the mild weather.

 

 

My hooman's were in a rush as they'd arranged to see a man about a dog so I got moaned at each time I stopped to sniff

 

 ... and boy, there were lots to sniff ...

 

 

ducks

swans

coots

moorhens

rabbits

 

and other dogs!!!

Pancake Day

 

 

 

Pancake day/Shrove Tuesday or Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras depending on which side of the pond you are on,  fall on the day before Ash Wednesday and traditionally is a time to eat up before the fasting of the Christian period of Lent.

 

 

If there is one thing I can do well it is EAT!!!

 

This is me using up the fat to make pancakes ... and getting covered in flour in the process.

 

Bring on the golden syrup!!!

Yet More Snow!

 

 

 

Awoke to more snow, this is me out in the garden first thing!!!

February 10th 2013

 

Look Out!

 

 

The walk I had planned for my hoomans was rained off so I managed to drag them round the river instead, they made the mistake of 'trusting' me off the leash so I was able to 'chase' the ducks.

 

 

Now my hooman's tried to stop this behaviour when I was a pup by sitting me down and letting me watch the ducks waddling past me etc but despite this, today I found it fun to 'chase' the ducks into the water ... I drew the line at getting MY paws wet though!!!

This is Me

 

 

 

Well you got me. It's me.

 

 

Guilty as charged.

February 6th 2013

 

Shivering!!!

 

 

 

After a few days respite, suddenly it has turned cold again.

 

I was shivering waiting for the hooman beans to throw my ball.

 

 

Quit taking pics and do your job ... throw the ball!!!

February 5th 2013

 

Does it breathe fire?

 

 

 

What the heck is this?

 

Smells OK, seems to be dead ... sleeping maybe?

 

 

A dragon fruit?

 

 

Does it breathe fire?

 

 

Quite tasty actually, my hooman was quite suprised that I liked it and even begged for more.

February 4th 2013

 

Watcha mean it's bedtime?

 

 

 

Ok so my hooman's might be a bit tired and ready to sleep but it doesn't mean I am.

 

 

Wanna play?

Stick with Me

 

 Oh my dawg! What is that golden glow in the sky?

 

Do I spy sunshine?

 

Get your coat, you've pulled!!!

 

No snow, no rain ... RESULT

 

~~~~~~~~~

 

First proper walk of the year ... I judge a 'proper' walk as one that is longer than an hour, one where I just don't get dragged around the block. A walk which seems to go on forever ...

 

Now I also LOVE epic walks ... I'll explain those when I get one!!!

 

My pic today is quite rare (and not just because of the sunshine) as I am fetching a stick.

I don't 'do' sticks usually, I am usually a 100% tennis ball kind of guy but on the odd occassion when the hooman's refuse to throw the ball, they sometimes throw a stick ... and it's better than nuffing.

 

I suppose ... *sighs*
