New Doggy Friends

One thing I forgot to tell you yesterday...

About a week ago THEY had some people round. Well, I wasn't sure about these new commers so I decided to mainly bark at them.

Then we all went for a walk so I guess they weren't all bad.

But when we got half way round our walk we met Romma and Poppy. They were two very skinny labs indeed. And they were very energetic.

They came rushing up to me from out of the sun and I was a little startled.

You can't be too careful in these sorts of situations.

And they jumped up and ran around and were really very friendly.

I think HE knew their owner cos he went over to them and chatted, while they all threw the ball for me (and Romma and Poppy) to chase. I did bark at the a bit, just in case they were troublesome - got to let them know whose boss.

Well Romma was a bit dumb and kept running off to somewhere different from where the ball got thrown (never catch me doing that - ha ha), but was pretty fast for a skinny thing.

Poppy, being only a baby (10 months I think) couldn't keep up with my greyhound like speeds, though did have a bit of a habit of grabbing the ball out of my mouth once I had got it.

Really - no manners. I was a bit surprised the first time, but subsequently kept hold of it - can't let the young'uns have it all their own way!!!

Anyway, after a lot of chasing and running we all had a good sit/lie down well THEY all chatted their gibber-jabber nonsense.

I think I like them - hope I'll see them soon.

Their master was a bit poorly - a tree, a mower, an accident, ear hanging off, intensive care. No idea what any of those words mean but they sound serious. They are staying with his parents for now so I'm sure they are being well loved while he gets better.

Woof for him to mend...

Gotta go think about my lovely mat/rug thingy some more.

When you're sleepy...

...This is just what you need!

Me and the Stream

Check this out;

My Mat


HE finally worked out that I DO NOT LIKE BEAN BAGS ONE LITTLE BIT.

And HE got me a lovely new mat to lye on.
It's a bit squishy, but not too deep, nice and fluffy, smells good, and great for sleeping on.
He doesn't let me sleep on it overnight - that would be lovely - HE's SO mean!

Still - at least he's doing something right!

Check it out...

PS It's also got my lovely red, squishy ball in the foreground.

And HIS foot - getting in on my photos - so cheeky!

Bella out - balls to dream of...

So much to tell you

I know - it's been ages!!!

Well I've lots to tell you and no time to do it here so I thought I'd try and give you a quick catch up...

The day THEY left me!

Well the weekend THEY left me to be more precise. How could they.
Although the couple they left me with - THE OTHERS - smelt a lot like HIM.
And they left me in my house so that's not so bad.
And THE OTHERS
were quite nice, but not nice enough o escape a good barking for a day or so...
I think THEY went on ho9liday - WITHOUT ME!!!! How could THEY?
HE called THE OTHERS Mum and Dad - silly names. But they were nice. Dad walked me and fed me and all that stuff so I decided that in HIS absence I would become Dad's new best friend. I was very sure to make sure I was as near to him at all times as possible.
I get the feeling he might be more of a discipliner than HIM (HE's such a pushover!) but he let me off easy.
THE OTHERS even kept a diary of what I got up to - I think they think my barking at other people might be a bit much.
I only want to say hello. Loudly. When I'm a bit scared, and overexcited. What's the harm in that.
Then THEY came back. I kind of thought they might be leaving me, it's happened before... But THEY didn't.
So I gave HIM and HER the biggest bottom waggle pleased to see you I could muster.
They better not go off again or there WILL be trouble!

Me and the River!

Turns out I quite like rivers.
And there's video to prove it!
I'll post it up when I get a chance.
Proving a bi tricky to operate the phone to download it - the buttons are so small for big paddy paws...

Superstar Diet Goddess!

I went back to the vets and after sitting on the funny cold metal platform HE was super pleased and said I had lost a whole kilogram.
I don't know where I lost it - probably in the common, but the balls I have been finding probably even up the score.
I think HE wants me to keep losing a kilogram every month.
Better keep looking or more balls to replace all these funny kilogram things.

Dreaming of Red Balls!

I found a ball in the common.
I LOVE IT.
Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots...
It is red.
And squishy.
And bouncy.
And spikey.
And I like to take it on walks with me.
And then HE throws it for me.
It is A LOT of fun.
I'll take a photo of it to show you. You'll be SOOOOOOO jealous.

Tummy rub wake me up!

Well - I'll just have to show you the vid for this when I get a chance to upload it.
I have got HIM eating out of my hand.
Or rather coming down first thing in the morning and doing just exactly what I want - giving me attention.
Other dogs - look and learn!

Bella out.

Time to have another nice mid morning nap before he gets home to bother me.
