HHO Dogs Diary

[CorvusCorax]

Hiya everyone, I hope you had a good week.

Small Mum's face is covered in red marks at the moment. She says it is because she is being attacked by midgets. Ouch, that sounds painful!
Big Mum says if the midgets bite her too much today, they might get alcohol poisoning and die. I don't know what that means

poor midgets.

This week Small Mum didn't take me for many big walks - instead she took me to the field and we did training instead. I think I like it better because I love having things to do.
She still keeps talking about this test thing though, I don't know if I like the idea of that...

Wee Sister is still in the house a lot. She said she was allowed out of the big see-through kennel and got to lie on the pink fuzzy thing in front of the fire last night. She said that I would be allowed to do that too if I didn't keep trying to lift it off the floor and eat it.
She has been training too and says she runs much faster and can jump much higher than me. Oh well, at least I am better looking.

Today was club day and I was ace. Everybody says so. Except for trainer bloke Dave who thinks I don't look up at Small Mum enough. I do love her, but there are so many other things to look at!

I am used to the doperman and the white dog now too, it is because they know I am very clever and important and not to mess with me, so Small Mum is pleased about that.
We did agility again, but not against the clock this time and I was glad because I couldn't bear the shame of being beaten by Mr Perfect Ralphie two weeks in a row, grrrr!

I am home now and Big Mum and Small Mum have wheeled out the big black thing that they cook meat on and people are arriving at the house. Are they having one of those barbeque things? In the rain?
It's true, they are very silly humans.

Oh well, I think I will catch some sleep as it has been a busy day.

How was your week?

B

Afternoon everybody.It's flossy here.Well what a couple of week i have had...I have been here there and everywhere with my mum.Been away in the house on wheels,i think it's called a caravan.We went to Hereford first to see some old people called grandparents,then went to North Wales at a posh campsite,Loads of rabbits everywhere,then down to
Brean sands in Somerset.I have had my legs walked off just about.But i'm not complaining i loved every minute of it.Mum said i was a very good boy cos i just sat outside the awning on a very long lead and watched the world go by.But i did do a slightly naughty thing by pinching a tennis ball from two boys playing tennis out side my caravan.Mum made me give it back but not before a slobbered and chewed it up abit first hehehe.I'm glad to be home because i love my bed at home.So it's back to normal now.I hope all my doggy friends have had a good week and it's good to be chatting with you all again.Take care everyone i'm off for a kip and then dinner.Byeeeeeee from Floss the knackered collie dog.

Hello everyone, Henry here.

Well I have had a good week, the human will let me off the lead again woohoo! On wednesday I caught a rabit at last which was very exciting, but the human took it off me

She said it had mixy and I couldn't have it

Then me and the human went to a thing called a hogroast and I got some crackling.... nom nom nom delicious!

This weekend we have been for two brilliant walks - on Saturday we went to Knettishall and played the stone throwing game - the human throws stones into the river and I try to catch the splashes

But the I got bitten by a fence - not a buzzy fence like they use on horses but a prongy fence - the human said it was barbed wire. I didn't see it in the woods and it bit me on my back leg

It made me jump so much I screamed a lot and the human thought I would need to see the vets but when she looked it was only a scratch and it wasn't even bleeding so she called me a big wuss

Then we went home and she cleaned it with some heebijeebi-scrub (she calls it hibiscrub but I know its real name) which tickled alot

Then today we have been to the beach and for a very very long walk, so now I am quite tired! We played the stone throwing game in the sea, and then we went for a walk inland which was great because I got to do lots of running and jumping

I even did some heel walking!

So really it has been a very good week! How about everyone else?

Hello everyone. It is Beau and Jess here.
we're feeling a bit confused

because we were told we were having a new playmate this week but he didn't come. It made Mum a bit sad

but we cheered her up.
Anyway, one of our favourite walks has just opened up again.

It has had silly white fleecy things in called sheepys or something like that but Mum noticed they had been moved out so we have had great fun going round the gravel pits again. We found some lovely tasty bits but Mum kept telling us off for trying to eat it. can't think why!

And silly Jess lost our ball today.

She shot off after a bunny with the ball in her mouth and although she cam back to Mum well, she had lost the ball.

We had to just sniff and find more of the smelly tasty stuff then!

We then got to have a swim.

Oh and Jess made Mum laugh. she tried to roll in some of the smelly stuff but didn't realise she was on the edge of the bank to the lake and just rolled straight down and into the water. Mum laughed her socks off. Silly collie cross. I'm much more sensible.

have a good week everyone. try not to think of too may ruses to trick your human friends.

My day by Flyn......

Mum took us down to the river today, wahoooo, yipeee - it was great fun

I raced down the track, raced up the bank, raced down the bank, leapt in the river and swam upstream as far as I could (pant, pant, pant) then I raced back up the track, up the bank, down the bank (pant, pant, pant), then .... you'll never guess.....I flushed up a roe deer - Wicked!! - I chased it up the bank into the woods but the bloomin' thing was too damned fast - so I raced back to Mum just to make sure she had been watching me (pant, pant, pant) then I leapt back into the river to swim some more - but Oh, there's the car, we have finished already

My day by Toby............

Mumsie took us down to the river this morning, which was really rather jolly decent of her I thought. It was such fun and I jogged on down the track, lots of lovely smells to investigate. I even popped into the river for a quick swim - my, that does do my poor old joints good. I found a super stick to carry along whilst I strolled along beside Mumsie. But then I decided that a stone was preferable. It was a jolly long walk and I was beginning to wonder when we would ever get back, but I ambled along beside Mummy to keep her company whilst that silly little whippersnapper raced around. Finally, when I never thought we would make it, the car came in sight - such a relief as I knew that as soon as we got home it would be time for breakfast - Oh I do look forward to breakfast. I can then look forward to sleeping the rest of the day - well just snoozing really as I don't want to miss out on any food that might fall my way. Night Night xx.

I love how Toby tells his story

As I don't talk much, I shall give a mini weekend report, with lots of love and slobbery kisses, Midget

On Friday Mummy Gina took me into a big building with lots of chairs and desks. I made friends with lots of nice doggies including a rather handsome Rottweiler, but mummy says I am only allowed to date nice looking labradors. Meanie.

I played with all the little dogs, who are much better behaved than that Beastie one and showed them how I can fetch things

They were super impressed.

But then a mean dog tried to bite me

I was only saying hello!

I spent all night sleeping as it was such a tiring day.

On Saturday I went to the meadow and went for a swim in the river, but the current was strong so I got scared and cried a little, Tina laughed at me for being a baby. Its ok for her, she's a big strong labrador! I'm only a Midget!

Daddy said I have to learn how to swim proper to lift ducks. Even though he says he is too old to be sitting around shooting wetfowl. I guess its going to be harder work than pigeons.

Sunday I slept alllll day as it was raining

Fabby to have a break from all this running around
