ramblings of a wee dug

Jamie tickling Jake ... and ignoring me :-(

I got to go visit Jake yesterday. It was soooo much fun. We chased each other round and round. I tried growling at him a few times but he was still the boss by the end. There was also a very cute 1year old to lick. Nathan had lots of toys to play with too but Jamie didnt let me chew them :-( Having a lazy day today after all the running round.

its all over

well ive been in heat for what has been at least a month. its been very troublesome. Not only do I have to put up with all the boy dogs trying to have a piece of me but i'm not allowed in the bedroom or anywhere without lying on my blanket. Worst of all they wont take me down the braids incase i get mollested. To be honest I wouldnt mind myself - but apparently if i get knocked up im not worth as much to them, i guess ill just need to wait for my arranged marriage... if it ever happens.

I'm a model puppy

well jamie and ali might complain lots about me - my walking mud into the house - my hair that i manage to sneak into every corner of the house and every item of clothing - having to pick up my poo etc etc. but in the long run I really am model puppy.

i have been posing for lots of birthday cards - it means i get lots of treats while ali waves that black camera thing around. Yesterday she was trying to get an action shot of me jumping up beside the no 60 (for Jamies dads birthday) it wasnt too succesful - here are some outtakes.

I could have of course made it in one shot - but I'm not daft - that would have meant less treats for trying!

Which do you think is my best side?

scaredy cats

this is a pic taken ages ago at the braids but i like it. can you spot jamie in the tree. he's such a scaredy cat and wouldnt come in for a swim. this morning i saw another scaredy cat on the grass near our house and i almost managed to get it - i chased it across the river and up a tree but then ali called me back. spoil sport. not quite sure what i would have done if i had got it... but im sure it would have tasted better than pedigree chum!

mr jones and me...

spot the difference

you gotta love a good walk in the park. I find nothing more exciting than a trip down the braids, I get so excited when the car takes a turn into the wee road. What made it even better this sunday was having jake jones for company. I jumped out of the car and couldn't believe my nose - mr jones had come all the way from livingstone for walkies :-)

last time i saw jakey he was a bit tired because he'd tried to breathe in a stick
(not to be recommended) and had to have emergency surgery to get it removed. Anyway - you can read about it on his blog. Lets just say he gave me a run for my money this time round.

i really like going for walks with Jake - I wish he could be my boyfriend - but Ali and Jamie say no. It's so unfair they just dont understand. I hope its not too long till I get to see him again.

the gorgeous jake

sympathy please!

the jimmie choo of the doggie world - drip-bag wellies

sorry for not being online for a while - it's pretty hard to type with my paw in a stookie. I had to have another toenail removed and have only just got my bandages off.
I'm so glad i no longer have to wear the silly red stookie but I do miss the rather fetching welly that my vet made out of an old saline solution bag. If it wasnae for my wellies where would I be?

Anyway I have lived to tell the tale and even managed to get down the braids for walkies with Jake this afternoon. More on that later... I'm off for a wee lie down to rest my weary paws.

sorry my devoted fans - it has been a while since ive put paw to keyboard. It has been a good summer all in all. The highlights being another trip in the car with all the stuff up to the place with the garden and the rabbits. I gt to run about daft for 2 weeks. still im not as young as i used to be and I have to admit to spending time just lying about the house.
I have however been a little unwell - not due to the over consumption of chocolate rabbits or cod-liver oil tablets as some of you may have guessed - but due to an operation :-( I had a growth on my toe which needed removed. Its at times like this my life flashes before my eyes and i wish i had more than one - lucky cats. Still i survived the ordeal and despite the lack of get well cards I have recovered considerably well - well enough to go for a big walk if anyone of you is up for it?

scary babies

2006-05-21T15:06:00.000-07:00

the scariest thing happened this weekend. the girl that looks like jamie brought this really loud siren thing round. it made so much noise and anytime i went close everyone shouted at me. apparently its called a bay-bee or M-ah or something but i tell you it was really scary and they obviously liked it more than me :-( I spent most of the weekend sitting in the corner hiding under a chair!

i did get to eat some of her food though which was kinda minging - poor thing! i'll stick to eating rabbits and pants! Here's a picture of me trying some of M-ah's food (just look at that tongue action!).

all i can say is i hope we dont get on of those things - cos I like being centre of attention!

It's a dogs life

2006-05-09T13:34:00.000-07:00

I heard daddy say the other day that he sometimes wished he was me and that I had an easy life. He kept on going on about how I've got no worries, and that I get fed and kept warm, no bills to pay, get pampered blah blah blah blah blah.

I thought it right that I set the record straight.

Firstly, I get fed once a day. Now.... some say that's enough, but let me tell you I could eat a cow if you managed to get it in my bowl! Instead I have to scavenge scraps and climb up on the counter top just to get me through the day till dinner time. AND... sometimes daddy doesn't even leave things out on the counter and I have to bust my way into the bedroom and eat the tastiest thing around, which unfortunately tends to be mummy's pants!!! How would you like that daddy?!??! And as for mummy... she gives me one skimpy biscuit and then HIDES the rest!! YOU EVIL WOMAN...THAT'S WHY I SIT ON YOUR FACE AND STEAL YOUR COVERS!!!

Secondly, the only way I have of cleaning my privates is by licking them.

Thirdly, I have to shit in front of people... sometimes complete strangers.

Fourth, I get left on my own most of the day, and I still can't figure out how to work the X-box. O for opposable thumbs!

Should I go on? I think you get the picture. Mummy and Daddy think I eat knickers and toothbrushes because I'm bored.... I'm just getting even.

walkies

2006-04-08T10:10:00.000-07:00

i went for a proper walk today. we went down the braids - a park near our den. it has lots of muddy paths and big trees and a river. i got to chase some birds and ducks and a tennis ball. i must say i am slightly concerned with this bird flu thats going round. what if i ever manage to actually catch a bird?? will i get flu? its enough to make a grown dog think twice about chasing birds.
i also met lots of other dogs - some of my distant relatives who have obviously been eating pies and some rathe uncuth dogs that insisted on smelling my bottom. I mean - what is the deal with that? Don't they know what a jobby smells like already??
The funiest part was watching Ali fall in the river trying get the tennis ball :-) I managed not to laugh out loud at the time but Ive been sniggering behind her back ever since.
i'm just off to get a cup of tea.
wish you meaty bones

it's been a while

2006-04-06T14:57:00.000-07:00

well my lovelies,

it has indeed been a while since i last blogged. you must have missed my inspirational musings. i apologise but my owners have been using up all my energy. the kids upstairs have my nerves frayed - you have to hate school holidays!
still i try and maintain a balanced view point and bark at everyone who makes a noise in the stair - no descrimination in this dog!
i also managed to bag myself one of those chocolate bunnies this week mmmmm... it was worth every word that ali shouted at me, it was even worth being banned from the living room for most of the day... i hope she buys a replacement :-)

jamie has been continuing to make noises with the large yellow string thing. i find it mildly relaxing and at least i know he's not going to abandon me for the night but id rather go to the braids for a big run to chase some real rabbits!

till we meet again

welcome

2006-03-17T01:16:00.000-08:00

love and licks
