#ThursdayThoughts


Hi there,

Well, as I mentioned in my last post, last Sunday was my first year anniversary of living with my mummy and daddy and as mummy says "time flies when you're having fun."

Don't get me wrong, I loved my doggie family, but I was definitely bottom of the pack which affected my confidence. That all changed when I came to live with mummy and daddy and became 'top dog' Back then I was still intact so my favourite was humping things, daddy's leg, my basket, Bugs Bunny and other dogs, particularly male dogs. I wasn't that keen on food, remarkable given I'll eat virtually anything I can get my paws on these days. Mind you, mummy's been a bit crafty lately, she always shares a little bit of her toast and marmite or peanut butter with mashed banana with me, but this week she's tried fobbing me off with just plain banana, as I said, I'll eat mud, sticks, crab apples and I even foraged an old tampon once, although it was snatched off me quick as lighting. But I draw the line at banana when I know full well mummy's got peanut butter on toast.


Over the past year mummy and I have fallen into a lovely routine, we're very similar personality wise, neither of us are early morning creatures, in fact, I have longer lie-ins than mummy and daddy says that takes some beating. If it's a bit cold, or worse still, raining, I just won't budge, even if mummy's put my jumper on.




Mind you, even at my cosiest, I can't resist the beach word, I love the beach, especially The Shack. Last weekend it was raining so mummy and daddy told me we wouldn't be stopping for tea and treats, pah, that's what they thought, I wouldn't budge, so tea and treats it was.


Actually it turned out to be a wise move on my part because although mummy and daddy were drenched, eventually the sun came out.




Mine and mummy's other favourite is our afternoon snuggle (but don't tell daddy.)


Bestest of all is the pub. I nearly rip mummy's arm out of its socket when we're heading there. I run in and jump up at everyone and they think I'm so adorable they start dishing out treats like smarties :)
A mad thing happened today, mummy walked me past the pub but we didn't go in? I stubbornly refused to budge and in the end mummy had to carry me home.



Hopefully I'll be going to the pub this weekend. Hope you all have a good week.


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...
