Rag and bone dog.


Hi again,

I hope you've all had a good week.
Well, here on the south coast we've been having pretty rotten weather, luckily we've managed to dodge a lot of the rain and had some nice long walks. As you know, I love a good walk, but I think I overdid it last weekend. Mummy was a bit worried on Monday because I was a bit out of sorts for most of the day. Although generally my bad leg doesn't hurt, sometimes if I've walked too far it aches and I tend to limp more. Anyhow, after a very lazy day, I suddenly got a spurt on at about 10pm, which as you know, is way past my bedtime. I popped my head over the edge of my basket, started barking and then decided to tip all of my toys out of my toy box. After what mummy called my 'funny five minutes' I took myself back off to bed, I like to keep everyone on their toes.


On Sunday we managed to catch a few 'rays' down at the beach and did all my favourite things like paddling, finding a big stick to carry and best of all....having an ice cream. Obviously, I don't get my own ice cream, I have to share daddy's, mummy doesn't really do sharing because she thinks it encourages me.




After the beach I have to have a bath and that's when I go really nuts! I run around rubbing myself over the carpet and then start attacking my toys, flicking them all over the place and if there's a slipper around I try to tear it to bits, mummy calls it scrundling (a made up word.)


Mummy likes me to look all posh and smell nice, she's always brushing me and I've got my own doggie perfume, daddy says, given half the chance she'd dress me in silly outfits, but I'm a boys boy! I like getting down and dirty, digging and when possible, rolling in fox poo or anything smelly really. But this week I had to go for my monthly groom. Auntie Nicky loves me because she says I'm the easiest dog she has ever groomed, I'm such a good boy, I never whinge or shake and I most certainly have never shown my teeth or snapped, mummy says I'm too well brought up for that sort of behaviour, course, I've realised if I'm a good boy, auntie Nicky gives me treats (but we don't let on to mummy.)



So, now I'm looking all posh and angelic (till I find the next poo to roll in.)


Well, I'm off to have a lovely cuddle with my mummy, have a great week and don't forget to tell your doggies and friends all about me.


Till 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...
