HHO Dogs Diary

[CorvusCorax]

Hiya everyone!

I am sooo glad it has cooled down a bit, aren't you? I was getting really hot and bothered last week. I also have that strange urge again to jump on top of Wee Sister - that's a bit wrong, isn't it?

She is spending a lot of time in the house at the moment, I keep trying to ask her how come she is allowed inside and I'm not and she just giggles and sticks her head between her paws.
She is SO dumb.

Big Mum has gone to somewhere called 'Grease' - yummy! So we are stuck with Small Mum all week which means lots of uphill marching again, so unfair!
Big Mum has also got a new car and we are not allowed in it yet, I though Small Mum was the precious one!

Last night Small Mum and Auntie O were drinking that funny stuff again. I was allowed into the living room to say goodnight and I put on a special performance for them. Then I tried to kill the talky box in the corner so I got thrown out again. Hmph!

Today was club day. Apparently I have to do some test thingy so we did downstays and heelwork for aaaggggeeees and trainer bloke Al rode round in circles on a bicycle with me in the middle. What a weird test this is going to be!
Then we did jumping, I was class as usual, and no one wanted to do the showy stuff so Small Mum was very relieved, the funny stuff she drinks makes her crap at running.

So now I am home and I am knackered.
How was your week? Tell me what you got up to!

Well I am calling International Dog Rescue because the human is being <u>rubbish.</u>

She won't let me have any fun at all

She keeps me on the lead all the time, even when there are bunnies that clearly need seeing to - I don't see her volunteering to chase them, oh no! Those bunnies will be getting very upitty next thing you know!

Not only that, but she won't let me onto the sofa anymore unless she lifts me up, and she won't let me jump in and out of the car. She makes me wear a t-shirt under my seatbelt and worst of all she keeps insisting on carrying meup and down the stairs in an Ikea bag. Now all the other office dogs are sniggering at me behind their paws. I am a spaniel, not a piece of easy to assemble flat pack furniture!!!

She keeps saying things about 'roll on Thursday' and 'can't wait for these stitches to come out' - hmph she thinks SHE can't wait???

So I am asking International Dog Rescue to take me away immediately

Does anyone have the number?

I thought I was going to get a new home yesterday - when Mum took me out to play fetch on the green, a little boy came over and decided to join in. Mum was very awkward because she's rubbish with kids, but I knew exactly what to do - lots of love and slobber! He hung around for AGES, playing fetch with me and patting me, and I just know he wanted to take me home - but I wouldn't have let him because Mum is spoiling me rotten lately. Ever since she noticed my joints are getting stiff, all I have to do is limp a bit and she goes all soppy and starts giving me big cuddles. Tomorrow perhaps I will refuse to stand up at all, then maybe I'll get a whole marrow bone out of her!

I have been miserable today because of the rain. Horrible scary water - falling from the SKY! Aaargh! I've been curled up in the middle of the living room for most of the day in case they kick me out again - they wouldn't let me in there at all yesterday, and every time I tried to go in they shouted at me.

Now the walls are a different colour and it smells funny, but at least I'm allowed back in!

I am certainly making the most of this cooler weather, I'm running around as much as possible so when the Tall ones try to make me get in the car I just keep running

The silly things thought they had me "trained" to go to the car at the end of the walk, but now they realise I was just thirsty

Yesterday I had a bit of a shock, the Small Tall one appeared home with all her fur gone

I really liked it as it looked a bit like mine, all long and wavy, but now it looks more like the Tall Tall ones fur, all short! But she still smells the same (like poo, it's LURVELY!

) so I wasn't too concerned

I have to keep checking who's shouting at me though, 'cos if I ignore the Short one she smacks my bum, and now she's got short fur it's easy to mistake her for the Tall one that lets me do what I like!

Today I have had loads of treats, I'm not 100% sure why, but they keep saying something about celebrating my "burfday" early

I'm not complaining though, I've had rather a posh new collar (camo so I can sneak up on bunnies better

) and a VERY tasty rubber thing that they stuffed with something yummy!

The Short one is also very pleased as she finally found something I like to eat when we're out chasing bunnies, so now she keeps shovelling them down my throat when I go back. They are VERY tasty though, almost tastier than the bunny smells in the woods!!!

My Tail has been lots better this week, so I won't have to get it chopped off

But I do have to wear a silly bandage that all the other dogs pick on me for

Plus the Tall ones keep spraying this horrible tasting thing on my tail, that makes me sneeze too!

Hi everyone!!

Henry - have my mobile - International Dog Rescue is on speed dial......

Well its been a bit of an odd week - after my busy week last week (haircut and visit to dog doctors) I have been full of beans - my haircut makes me feel so much cooler - the food donor says I am 'driving her mad' but I'm not sure she is behaving any differently so does that mean she is always mad??

Have had a fab week tearing around with my buddies - I also sneaked up on the chooks (noisy buggers keep waking me up!

) Daisy the duck and the cats - result!! It was really brave of me 'cos I'm scared of them all really but its nice of them all to pretend that they are scared of me every now and then....

The food donor went out today (without me!!

) and came back soaking wet - how come she gets to come in the house like that and doesn't get towelled down in the utility room??

- I was secretly pleased as its cold today and I got to snooze on the sofa - hurray!!

Anyway she said she tried to buy me a sparkly collar to wear but they didn't have it in my size - Phew!!

- but the dog doctors were there and gave her a blue bandana for me - could have been worse my sister Emma has got a pink one!!!

love

Sweep xx

Hello everyone!
Teddy The Terrier here

What a weird day, there was LOTS of water falling out of the sky!
And then there was this loud rumbley noise and some flashy stuff in the sky, my owners thought I'd be scared.. pah! What do they think I am? A wimp?? So I proved them all wrong by being extra hyper and loonying around the house, chasing the cat up the stairs and generally being a hooligan

I'm very excited for my agility lesson on Wednesday, I'm very good if I say so myself, I can run up and down a steep frame, across a looooong plank, through a dark tunnel, over some jumps and out-run Katie

I get lots of treats, yum yum

Rufus the little Ginger rescue here, I want to rant about my next to useless mother, who promised to get my a new kong frizby after she made my daddy who I love loads, throw it into the river, she is such a dumbass

Anyhow, she said she was getting a new one from ebay or summit, and it arrived cos I saw it on the dog food bench but I could not reach it, even when I jumped

so the silly bint buys me a new kong frizby but keeps forgetting to take it out for me to play, I hate it here and want a new mammy to play frizby with me, preferably where im the only dog and not part of a 10,000 strong pack who steals my frizby, bed and food, just cos im little and ginger

and for mammy to stop calling me rufus pooh face

MY NAME IS RUFUS, IF U CAN LOOK PAST THE GINGER, AND LOVE ME FOR WHO I AM, PLEASE TAKE ME AND MY KONG FRIZBY HOME WITH U

 

[Spudlet]

The human tells me ginger rules Rufus

She says she wishes we had room for you here as gingers need to stick together!

[merlinsquest]

Well its Millie here..... You know the little schnauzer

I am having a terrible time because my teeth are falling out!!! I do believe that I wont be able to eat soon as they are just hanging out of my mouth

Not sure why Zak keeps grinning at me and saying... 'all the more for me' though

Mum got a bit cross with me when I did a wee in the dining room yesterday..... I cant see the problem really... its a long way from my bed, and I thought that was all that counted

I really am getting confused

I hope when I wake up tomorrow I dont look all gummy.

my mammy said chasing things that are alive and running is wrong, but my daddy says it's all fair game and takes me and my brothers and sister to where all the bunnies live, but don't tell mammy, she will only go off on one, then me and daddy will be in for it again

Hello my name is Blomma and I have suffered today. The humans say I'm biggest on the outside and smallest on the inside, no idea what that means.

We've had visitors staying over for three days and two nights, they're called nephews and niece or children and I've been spreading my graces between them. F. ex. I slept almost all the first night in the same bed as the niece, first there wasn't much room for me, but in the morning I was comfortably stretched out and the niece curled up towards the wall. This morning I had a long morning cuddle with the oldest nephew, caught him just as he was getting up and simply laid down on one of his arms and then he had to stay and cuddle me.


But on the long walk today something bit me

! We was passing a field with horses and nephews and niece wanted to give them some grass and just as I stretched out my head just a little to sniff the air towards that big four legged thing, so fast I didn't see him/her do it, it bit me on my nose. I screamed, nearly died and was so upset I couldn't eat any treats for several minutes (very unusual to be me).
I've heard my human saying something during the day (with much guilt in her voice) about seeing me in the corner of her eye, just a tiny bit to late to realise the leash was just a millimeter to long, while trying to keep an eye on the children's fingers as they where giving the horses grass. And something about electric fencing and strangely enough also something about that the only good thing was that she remembered to not comfort me about what had just happened, but anyway, I know what I know, I was looking at a horse and something bit me on my nose and the only thing in front of said nose, was a horse. I might not be the smartest Lapphund, but even I can figure that one out.

And as if that was not enough the children has gone home again, though the niece's bed has not been put away yet, so tonight I will have it all for myself.

Hi everyone. I am much in favour of this cooler weather although Mum was fed up getting wet yesterday.
actually I am a little sad today. Yesterday we went to that fun game called flyball. Mum said I would be having a run but I was only the reserve so i didn't! I just had to be there in case one of the other dogs made a mistake.
Now I know I am 10 (well nearly 11) years old and i am not the fastest thing on 4 legs but I do enjoy a romp up the flyball lane in competition now and again. I want to get my flyball dog award which Mum tells me is 200 points. I've got 55 at the moment.
My house mate ran in one of our top teams and she got a ribbon thing for 4th place. I feel a little jealous really but then I am too much of a lady to make anything of it. I just gave her a lick to say well done.
Never mind--we had a nice day out.
Then today I heard Mum say we can't go to Agility training tonight 'cos she has hurt her ribs and can't run.
blooming humans--always spoiling my fun.
Love from Beau Lab.
