Follow my lead.


Hi there,

Let me introduce myself. My name is Tarashima White Storm, which is a bit of a mouthful, so you can call me Dino. I'm a Shih Tzu and I'm a big boy now because I'm 1 year and 4 months old, I'm very big and brave, although my mummy will insist on calling me her baby boy.

When my sisters and I were born, a lady came to see me and said she would like to be my mummy when I was old enough to leave my doggy family. Shortly after that I was having a bit of rough and tumble in the garden when I hurt my leg. I had to go to the hospital and have an X-ray and the Dr said I had angular leg deformity. Well, my new mummy decided she didn't want a silly old dog with a limpy leg, so I stayed with my doggy family until I was eight months old.

One day a man and lady arrived and told me they were my new mummy and daddy and that I was going to my new home. It was all very exciting, although I was a little bit nervous if I'm honest, but when I got to my new home, mummy said the fluffy basket and all the new toys were all for me! I didn't have to share anything! I was so excited I didn't know what to hump first.

                                         Humping my fluffy cushion. This pink thing is my own room.

My mummy saw a photo of me on the Internet and apparently fell instantly in love with me, She didn't even mind about my limpy leg, although I've since found out daddy had his reservations, but the moment mummy set eyes on me in the flesh, daddy didn't really have a say in the matter.

                                                                My re homing photo that caught mummy's eye.

Once I'd settled in to my new home I soon started to get up to mischief, take for example my love of swallowing inanimate objects, I swallowed a chewy thing whole and became very ill, I had to go to hospital and have an operation, I wasn't too perturbed, but mummy was crying and daddy said something about the strain on his wallet. I haven't learnt my lesson though, I recently swallowed a whole stick, boy did I have trouble passing that, not to mention my love of litter generally, my favourite is horse manure though, mummy's not keen but she says at least it's not dangerous.

                                                                      Me at the hospital after my operation.


                  One of my poorly moments after eating something I had no business eating.

I've had so many adventures already mummy thought it would be worth sharing them with a wider audience. I'm already quite a celebrity in my home town, especially in my park. I hope you'll follow me and enjoy my antics. Speak to you soon.

                       Find out about my love of digging up daddy's prize lawn in my next post.

Love and woofs

Hi everyone, Well, what an exciting week I've had. A doggy food manufacturer got in touch with me and asked if I would like to be part of their advertising campaign.Trouble is, I don't eat processed dog food because it's often full of nasty things like condemned beef, rancid fat and stuff surplus to human consumption like hooves, tails, testicles and ears and general sweepings from the factory floor. Like humans, what we doggies eat affects our health (and our breath and I for one don't want dog breath.) We doggies have the same digestive system as a grey wolf and grey wolves don't go to the supermarket to buy junk food, they live on prey, fruit and vegetables. I eat a raw diet just like the grey wolf, fortunately I don't have to hunt for it because mummy puts it in my bowl. I am allowed certain treats like my carrot and apple biscuits and last weekend when we went out for lunch, daddy bought me a doggy ice cream which is made from natural ingredients, ...

Hey there, Well it's a quick hello & goodbye this week as I'm very busy getting ready for my holidays. Mummy and daddy are off to Spain, so I'm going to stay with my auntie Jeanie and uncle Keith. I've been to the groomers and had myself spruced up, fortunately this time I didn't have a J Lo cut which makes my bum look big, but my hair is very short, sometimes, I wonder if mummy does it deliberately because she tells daddy that we have to have the heating on full time in case I get cold. Last Saturday, just when we thought spring had arrived, it snowed again! We were at the beach and had to take cover in a lovely café where I made friends with another Shih tzu. He was a bit aloof so I tried to act all grown up when his mummy got out the treats, but you know me, I get all excited and go a bit giddy with it. On Sunday our garden was covered in snow, I was delirious with excitement. Mummy and I played snowballs, I didn't manage to catch any becaus...

Sorry not sorry.

Hi everyone Do you like the photo of me hiding under the decking? That was taken when I was a baby and mummy says that was a sure sign of things to come. I've always been a mischievous little dog, did I tell you about the time I stuck my head through a barbed wire fence to say hello to some goats? Well, unfortunately I scratched myself on the barbed wire but I didn't cry, even though I bled a little bit. Mummy was none the wiser, but a couple of days later when she was brushing me, she became hysterical and rushed me to the vets. Apparently she thought I had a terrible growth, but the vet just laughed and told mummy "it's only a scab" which she then flicked off with her finger. Daddy wasn't quite so amused as that scab cost him sixty pounds. This week I've had a couple of accidents, the first was when I was helping daddy in the garden, we were treating the fence and I thought I'd get my face right in amongst it, I was luminous green, that to...
