lazy bones

 

 

 

I'm NOT being lazy.

 

I'm merely having an early night as 

 

the early bird catches the worm

the early dog catches the postman

BOL

sink or swim?

 

 

OK I object!

 

This is a set up - a photo opportunity - nuffin' more.

 

I am not dirty.

 

I have not rolled in duck poo or goose sh*t.

 

I do not smell.

 

Why oh why am I being forced into having a bath? 

(Or more correctly a sink?)

 

Huh???

 

Oh yes. Nuffin' more than a publicity stunt.

 

Forget Wet Willie. Meet Wet Lou eee.

before Banksy?

 

 

Graffiti. Not to everyone's taste.

 

But work by the infamous street artist Banksy seems to be hot property.

 

So much so that his works of art keep going missing.

 

The latest one to be removed for 'restoration' (auction?) is a piece called No Ball Games.

 

The piece I am posing in front of has no name.

 

It certainly isn't a Banksy.

 

It is certainly NOT worth a million.

 

I, on the other paw, am priceless!!!

 

BOL

Heavy rain

 

Not very clear from this pic but it is raining.

 

No lightening, no thunder, just very HEAVY rain.



July 26th 2013

 

All packed up and nowhere to go ...

 

 

 



July 25th 2013

 

CHOMP!

 

 

This WAS a football.

 

the bets were on to see how long it'd last.

 

A minute? Two?

 

I managed to play with it for 5 minutes before cornering it and bursting it.

 

Fun Fun FUN!!



July 24th 2013

 

Feeling blue

 

 

LOOK! Blue skies *grins*



July 23rd 2013

 

I don't do lettuce!

 

 

Leftover salad really isn't my cup of tea.



July 22rd 2013

 

Does my butt look big in this? 

 

 

There is something under the kitchen units of interest.

 

My hooman knows it's there.

 

I know it's there.

 

I have even tried to crawl under to rescue it ...

... but it is way out of my reach.

 

Maybe one day I'll be able to show you what it is.

A stone kennel?

 

A tunnel to the pet food factory?

OMD!!!

 

Our temperature rose to over 40°C in the afternoon*

 

 

Well at least until the sun went in and this dropped to nearer 30.

Dandy lying clock

 

 

Supposedly if you blow the fluffy seeds from the head of a dandelion,

depending on the number of blows it takes, it equals the time.

 

But

 

It so doesn't work. I mean, I only took 3 attempts to rid the clock of it's seeds and it had gone six.

 

Go figure!!! 



July 14th 2013

 

digging to Australia

 

 

After exhausting my hooman with all that strenuous ball throwing, I carried on my game on my own back in our garden.

 

Left to my own devices I got a bit carried away.

 

Check out the hole I began to dig, my black tongue and my ball thick with mud!

 

 



July 13th 2013

 

Only mad dogs and Englishmen

 

 

Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun.

 

This is me paddling in the river to cool off on another 'epic' walk.

 

 



July 12th 2013

 

Shudda gone to ...

 

 

Long or short sighted. You decide!



July 11th 2013

 

It's gate 'ere innit?

 

 

A later than late walk but it was still warm and sunny!!



July 10th 2013

 

Upside down

 

 

There's a new craze in town.

 

Forget Baby Mugging ... the next BIG thing apart from my ego is upside down dogs

featuring on the website bearing the same name.

 

Of course my hooman had to jump on the band wagon!!!

 

So the idea is to photo us dogs upside down and grinning - my hooman took this standing on her head. Believe me she wasn't grinning BOL

 

Not sure that's quite the idea ... but still!



July 9th 2013

 

dragged through a hedge

 

 

So sometimes my hooman's get a tad carried away with the ball throwing and send it hurtling through the hedge.

 

Does that in any way deter me from retrieving it?

 

Does it hellas like BOL

new collar

 



July 7th 2013

Feeling tired too! 

 



 

So what are the chances?

 

In the middle of nowhere and we come across MORE tyres!

 

Instead of just dumping them, this farmer has utilised them into a rather trendy barrier.

water bomb

 

 

I love to plunge into water when I get too hot from chasing my tennis ball.

 

This is me chasing after it fresh from the stream, while it's still soaking wet!

 

 



July 5th 2013

 

Ace!

 

 

OMD! How many balls!

 

This IS ace!

 

 



July 4th 2013

 

Fourth of July

 

 

Wishing all my friends in the USA a Happy Fourth of July



July 3rd 2013

 

The ball was OUT

 

 Call the umpire - this cannot be fair?

 

The ball was OUT of my reach!

 

You cannot be serious
