Simon says...

...my cruciate ligaments have gone. Simon's my vet by the way. Oh yes, we're on first name terms these days on account of my having to visit him so often. Nope, I don't know where they've gone but Simon reckons they've definitely gone.

I'm guessing you've probably heard about cruciate ligaments going in professional footballers' knees? Well, I like to think that this diagnosis confirms my status as a top flight elite athelete but...

ALL FUN IS NOW BANNED! I am not allowed to chase sticks....or balls....or frisbees....or other dogs. I am a grumpy pooch.

My new favourite thing....snow!!!

That last one was especially for my lab fans...looking pretty gorgeous, don't ya think??

News flash...I stopped barking long enough to make new friends yay!

Hello lab fans! Sorry I haven't blogged for a while but I've had a very busy Easter. A whole bunch of new people came and stayed at my house and we all had lots of fun together yay!

Here's me and my new best friends Amber and Emma...like normal humans, only smaller.

and my new canine friend - the confusingly named Kitty...like a normal dog, only thinner.

Now you see it, now you don't

The carpet's gone! There's a new slippy slidey floor everywhere! I'm not happy about it. I have channelled my emotion into a new art intallation entitled 'the newspaper gets it'...

Do you want the good news or the bad news?

...said the vet. Well, I mainly just wanted one of the doggy treats he keeps in a glass jar where I can't reach them, but anyway...

The good news is that I am still a super slimmer. I have lost another kilo - yay!

The bad news is that I have got a poorly knee. My knee has got arthritis in it. I don't know how it got in there but I do know that it's a bit tricky trying to walk using only three legs. So now I have to have injections and tablets and funny stuff in my food.

I am being a brave soldier about it all, of course. Brave soldiers get doggy treats, right?

Out with the old and in with the new...

Hello again lab fans! I have two very exciting things to tell you about.




Firstly, I am a super slimmer! Oh yes, I have lost a whole kilo in the last month. I feel like I should have a photo of me standing next to a cardboard cutout of my former, slightly heavier, self while holding up my harness which is of course...ho ho...comically outsized for my new svelte frame. Ahhh....read it and weep fatties!


Secondly, Spring is almost upon us, so I'm busy hoovering up the last of the windfall apples in the common. Ahem, anyway Spring is also a good time to ring the changes in one's home, don't you agree? Here's some photos of me doing a bit of decorating at the weekend. It's not as much hard work as some people would have you believe y'know....

Giant rawhide action!

Wow I love Christmas don't you?? I don't know what I love more...ripping paper to shreds and leaving it lying all over the floor or discovering that inside the paper is lots of yummy doggy treats yay! As you know, I'm a doggy on a diet so I don't get many treats usually but who doesn't indulge a bit over the festive period..???

This is my favourite present of all...my giant rawhide!! It's January 11th and I'm still only about two thirds of the way through it...that's a whole lot of chewin!

Frisbeeeeeeeee!

Hello lab-fans! Here's my homage to the beach scene from the film '10'.... I think the frisbee adds a certain something....



I'm ready for my close-up now...

And another thing

I'm only 39.4 KGs

How much of a super slim fast dog am I!!!

Sausages to dream of...

Hello again

Hi there, I can't believe how long it is since my last blog. My fool owner keeps forgetting to upload videos he's taken and I so want to show you what has been going on!!!

Anyway, will update you more in a bit but as a taster, I have mainly been;

Having a weekend away in Somerset.
Sleeping.
Going to Cornwall.
Barking.
Meeting a trainer person.
Doing aqua therapy.
Eating crab apples.
Meeting His nephews. They are even more noisy than me!
Being trained (at least what He calls training - ha ha ha)
Chewing carrot.
Discovering my love of joint care sticks.
Visiting the vet after a 30 second limp (and getting more than I bargained for!)
Lots of walking.
Meeting new doggy friends.
Deciding I quite like some of the humans in the common too!!!

Back with pics, vids and info soon.

Sleeping to do.
