Hopping over snowdrifts

 

 

Easter is usually associated with spring lambs, bunnies, eggs and sunshine.

 

But snow?

 

That's a first ...

 

Happy White Easter

Close Encounter?

 

 

 

Spooky things were apaw on our walk today.

 

I was standing, minding my own business when out of nowhere ...

 

... well see for yourself!

 

Blinding isn't it?

 

Someone call Mulder and Scully

Time for Hot Cross Buns.

Blaming Brody

 

 

 

So no dawg can be good all of the time.

 

We have to test the boundaries

(and I'm not talking edge-of-garden fences here!)

 

Push, pull ... and stretch those boundaries to their limits

 

Ignore those DO NOTS

(and make them into HOPE I GET AWAY WITH THISES instead)

 

And under the guidence of Brody

(and to make his hooman's feel not 'so alone')

I have learnt that not everything you chew on has to be food.

 

This is me chewing up plastic pegs I have borrowed from the wash basket
I also ADORE plastic bottle tops

 

Neither is particularly good for me

but that 'urge' is there

to

chew chew chew

 

(despite the antler/chew toys provided for me!)

 

N.B : MY hooman planted the unchewed pegs for this pic and I tried to steal away one of those too! And later, once all of those were STOLEN away from ME ... I stole a pen. Touche!!)

 

Bad Dogs RULE

 

Now can someone pass me the baby wipes, toy money, ear buds (Q Tips) et al

Enemy in Pink

 

 

 

It might look sweet but believe me ...

when this baby is switched on ... you won't see me for dust!!!

 

What is it about the vacuum?

Do Nots

 

 

 

As any dog knows, we LOVE junk food.
If it's good enough for the hoomans, then it's good enough for us.

This especially applies to doughnuts/do-nuts ...  or do nots in my case.

DO NOT beg for food
DO NOT sit on the couch
DO NOT sleep on or in the bed
DO NOT bark at the neighbours
DO NOT get under the hooman's feet
DO NOT leave muddy pawprints on the floor

DO NOT beg for doughnuts

The results speak bark for themselves

Whereas I love doughnuts, I hate the do nots

Out for the count

 

 

 

Today has been freezing so I have taken refuge indoors.

March 24th 2013

 

On target!

 

 

 

Leaping in the snow to catch my ball.

 

It looks like it is heading for a rather delicate area

but

it is heading straight downwards.

 

Thankfully not on target

but

following the laws of gravity!

 

Don't ya just love my expression?

March 23rd 2013

 

Muchly of the white stuff ...

 

 

 

So awoke to see more snow.

 

Half expected nothing as who trusts the weather man?

 

 

After snowing ALL day, it is 3 inches deep and counting ...

March 22rd 2013

 

Stocktake

 

 

 

After searching all over the house for a tennis ball and not finding one ...

 

I found them ALL outside.

 

Huh! Time for a stocktake ...

 

 

one ...

 

two ...

 

Oh and it's snowing AGAIN. Yucky wet, mushy snow.

 

 

March 21st 2013

 

Nuzzle

 

 

 

My hooman's have noticed that my originally jet-black nose has changed colour over the past few months and now has a brownish tip.

 

Broogle (tm) suggested that it might be the change of temperature over winter

or

drinking/feeding out of stainless steel bowls.

 

It is certainly cold here

And my food bowl is made out of steel.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

 

I am otherwise healthy.

 

 

 

Maybe Aunt Foley might help ...



March 20th 2013

 

April Fool?

 

 

 

Sooooo it's not April yet nor is it the first

 

so which wise guy thought it'd be funny

to post a Mind The Step sign

where there is obviously NO STEP

 

 

Haha I will explain about the pink leash in another post *grins*



March 19th 2013

 

Phhttttttt!!!

 

Apologies for the slight blur ... I moved just at the crucial moment bol

 

 

I wonder who taught me to blow raspberries?

 

Naming no names ... Hattie ... *winks*

Rain deer

 

The weather cannot make up it's mind

 

Yesterday we had snow (huge flakes but it didn't settle), today more rain.

 

Best to stay indoors!

 

~~~~~~~~~~

 

This is me munching into a deer antler.

 

I love these, they were recommended and are much safer than rawhide chews

They also last much longer.

 

A win win situation!

 

 

 



March 17th 2013

 

Shamrock

 

 

 

Lá Fhéile Pádraig

 

Today is St.Patrick's Day.

 

No hope of finding shamrocks here but I did find this one!

 

Does it count?

 

 

 



March 16th 2013

 

Butter wouldn't Melt

 

 

So today I haven't been the best behaved dog in the world.

But I can still look innocent.

It wasn't me ...




March 15th 2013

 

Do something funny ...

 

 

 

... for money!!!

 

 

Today is Red Nose Day

 

 

I know I look grumpy, but you are supposed to do something silly

 to raise cash to help those in need in the UK and Africa.

 

 

So I'm wearing boppers.

 

And get to play with a dino-roar ...

 

...

...

...

 

Hahahahahahaha

 

 



March 14th 2013

 

Spoilt?

 

 

 

Me?

 

I might own one or two toys but spoilt?

 

Never!!

March 13th 2013

 

Extra Time

 

 

 

Surprisingly the abandoned football is still around.

 

Extra time to play with it!

 

It won't be 'round' for long!!!

March 12th 2013

 

Pants!

 

 

 

Oh dear be warned ... bad humour ahead!

 

 

Ok so today we went in search of pastures new old.

 A walk a little further from home to a place we thought would be prettier than it was.

It must only be pretty in summer as today it was muddy and bleak.

In a word it was pants (not the 'pants' in the title but still pants!)

 

Speaking of 'pants' ... I got this picture taken of me panting for my POTD.

 

I am also wearing my harness.

 

(Last warning of bad humour ahead)

 

Which my hooman says looks like a letter Y

 

A letter Y on my front

 

(anyone clicked yet?)

 

A Y Front

 

or in a word PANTS

 

*ROFL*

 

For anyone not in the know, Y fronts are otherwise known as Jockeys

(Homer Simpson-esque briefs)

 

See?

 

I did warn you it was BAD humour.

 

 

 

 



March 11th 2013

 

finders keepers

 

 





It has been snowing on and off all day so during one such flurry,

I persuaded my hooman's to take me out in it to play.

 

Well while we were playing fetch, we spied an abandoned football.

 

Now I have a habit of finding footballs where ever I go and normally I like to rip into them.

But today I wasn't really interested and much preferred my tennis ball.

Although I did try to play with them both ...

 

... two at a time, baby!!!



March 10th 2013

 

Best in Show

 

 

 

This post is a nod to Crufts the largest dog show in the world.

It is for pedigree dogs of all breeds.

 

Unfortunately I am not one of the breeds they recognised

but

I am still worthy of being BIS (Best in Show)

 

Yeah baby *grins*

 

 

 

 



March 9th 2013

 

a sticky situation

 

 

 

Because it was another rainy day, there was no ball throwing today. Boo!!!

 

My hooman's deem it to be yucky having to touch a soaking wet (and muddy) tennis ball

 

But my hooman did throw this stick for me - still wet but not as muddy.

 

Go figure!

 

 

I got bored after three goes and was far too interested in my surroundings

for my hooman to relax (I am a devil at recall if I lose my concentration)

March 8th 2013

 

Watchful in the Rain

 

 

 

Ok who goes there?

 

Seriously, this is me in the rain ... being nosy.

 

What else can I say?!?

 

 



March 7th 2013

 

'Like a pup in a petshop'

 

 

 

I'll take one of these, one of those and ... who am I kidding?

 

I'll take the lot!!

March 6th 2013

Ablutions

 

 

I'm washing my paws ... geez ... can't a guy get some privacy round here?



March 5th 2013

 

Me and my shadow

 

 

 

5 o'clock Shadow!!!

March 4th 2013

 

New balls!

 

 

 

So in the last week I have lost a few of my balls

 

Make of that what you will

 

But today I got 3 brand new tennis balls

 

Cool huh?

March 3rd 2013

 

epic

 

 

 

Today I went on my first 'epic' walk of the year.

 

An epic walk is one where we cover lots of miles and it takes several hours to complete.

 

 

Today I chased 1 tennis ball

Took two drink stops

Ran off leash free (three!)

Shared 4 pictures

5 gold rings! (sorry couldn't resist!)

Was walking for 6 hours

And covered over 7 miles

 

Seriously! I am dog tired.

 

 

 



March 2rd 2013

 

get stuck in

 

 

 

You know there must be easier ways to get the last morsels out of this snack pot ...

 

 



March 1st 2013

 

In search of golden daffodils

 

 

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi

It is St David's Day today.

 

So I dragged my hooman's off to search for the Welsh National emblems.

 

The only daffodils we found were not in flower

 

 

 and although I did take plenty of leaks ... I am sure, in this case, that doesn't count!

 

The only flowers we found were these snowdrops and the hellebores in the background.

 

 

 

 

 

February 28th 2013

 

If you go down to the woods today ...

 

 

 

... you're sure of a big surprise!!!

 

 

My hooman's participate in an unusual hobby using billion dollar technology

to find tupperware-esque boxes hidden across the countryside.

 

 

 

This is one such container!!!

 

 

OMD!

 

It actually oinked!!

 

... want it, want it ... want it ...
