Seriously, this is not funny.

Was I a very bad dog in a former life? I am now getting shampooed nearly every day and well, I guess you are all aware of the jumper humiliation.
I know the girlies all seem to love it, but really, it is getting ridiculous now.
God, what next, putting me in a pram or something???? Or a handbag???
Small Mum says if I stop itching then she will stop being a meanie, but...oh....it's....so....satisfying...*itch*

There are benefits, like I have been allowed to sleep in the house all week for some reason, but I still have to wear the jumper indoors. Which is why I pee'd all over it on Friday night and *may* have got a bit on the carpet too. Oopsies

The other benefit is that Small Mum took Wee Sister to club today instead of me, result! No stupid heelwork, hurray, Wee Sister has all that stoopid stuff ahead of her, but she seems to have a better tactic than me, aparently when you hear 'click' that means that the lead is off and you are FREEEEEEE and you can bomb off and do what you like and not come back. Fun times

I tested this method yesterday when I found a yummy smell on the ground, I think it was one of those dumb birds with the long tails, I went WHEEEE off among the trees for ages.
Small Mum came charging after me huffing and puffing and threw herself on top of me

She then said 'fug' and 'you big fugger' and 'take all your fugging hair off, see if I care' all the way home.
Wee Sister said it was the best entertainment she has ever had.

Anyhoo, hope you had a good week, tell me all about it...oh no, here she comes again, it's RINSING TIME! EEEEK!

We have been back at work all this week - yaaaawwwwn

So I have been catching up on my sleep and things. Lots of snow has been falling so we have been driving veeeery sloooooowly which is also boring as I like going fast! In fact there has been so much snow that we didn't go to work on Thursday at all, and on Friday the human was very scared all the way home because it was so foggy
frown.gif


Yesterday the human was very poorly, she fell over on the floor
shocked.gif
At first I thought she was playing a game and I jumped on her a bit but then I realised she was really poorly so I put her in her bed and stuck with her until she was better. After all, I can't open the food cupboard
smirk.gif


Today we have been for a really good snow walk, and the human left the dummy at home so I could just do hooning
grin.gif
I have been keeping an eye on her though in case she falls over again, but she says she's better now
smile.gif


Back to work tomorrow!

From an old girls view

This week has been hard on me and im losing my balance alot more now, mam keeps putting me in my bed near the fire and helps me get to my feet as the laminate floor is slippy for my old joints.
I think I have been a good dog, although a bit cheeky at times I always tried my best to behave, I always get called "puppy bray" although im far from that now, guess it's cos I always acted like a puppy, I used to be jet black but im looking very white now.
I watch the younger dogs run around and play with dad and I don't have the strength anymore mam is always shouting at dad and the youngers to mind out of my way when they play, but I don't mind, I have been there and had my time, my walks have ceased now since I collapsed on my last one (it was snowey mind you), but I can manage the garden and had a tottle around it's big enough so takes me a while to walk round it.
Mam keeps feeding me all the time, I keep telling her "im stuffed" and really can't eat that much, but I think she is worried about my weight now.
I sleep down stairs now as mam is scared I may fall down the stairs if no one is watching me, but I get tucked in my big quilt, I don't think I have a lot of time left as have heard mam talking to dad who won't give her an opinion either way as he thinks it's mams decision, but know she wont let me suffer, but im sure she will miss me after nearly 17 years together now, she has grown up and I have grown old but im glad I got to stay when I see so many pass through I have seen so many go to rainbow bridge and im not scared, I will see them all again when I get there.

She is very special MM, I feel she has been with me the whole of my life, it will very very strange without her, but I feel he time is coming
frown.gif

I did try to rehome her......well she was only meant to be a foster I took care of in the 6 weeks holidays, I cried when she went to her home.........she came back swiftly, cos she would not settle

I dont believe that I have just read it again, and that I am crying again

Must be lack of food, I havent eaten today

It is the last few lines...

I felt the same when I lost my first whippet, I got her when I was 17, she was with me all through my first marriage and into my second, she had seen so much of my life. She was a month short of 15 when I lost her, and I thought that was a good age

Bray is very very special

Hey Bray, you sound like a very, very good doggie.
Small Mum tells me that if you do leave, when you get there, you will be able run faster and stronger than you ever did before, it's like flying, you will be like a new dog.

She says that when you get there, D will be there waiting for you to give you a proper GSD bodyslam. But she is only being friendly. Don't be afraid to tell her off! She loves to run and play.
N and J are there too, apparently, they is much more gentle and will lie on top of you if you are not careful, they love hugs and cuddles and will be like your special blankets!

Loads of hugs for you and your Mam x

PS - why is Small Mum leaking, again???
 
Sorry guys....I guess it was sort of my way of admitting/ telling myself she is not going to last forever and her time is near the end and im very aware of that now more than ever
frown.gif

I will scan and post some pics of her when she was younger, she really was a bundle of joy and a very pretty girl.
 
Hey Bray

The human says my Uncle Barney will be waiting for you too - he will be a super fast dog again too and will be able to show you all the best streams and muddy patches.

Her face has gone all leaky, I might need to find a plumber for her soon

Oh Cayla

On a lighter note...Bodo your a spiv

Weeing on yourself is just plain daft! Nice work on the getting your human very cross, hot, sweary, and out of breath though! That takes a real pro that does! They really seem to enjoy it
grin.gif
 
Another leaky human here, it must be the snow I think, maybe the pipes inside their eyes have burst because of the frost? No other explanation
confused.gif


Bray I cannot help much as I don't have any friends on this Rainbow bridge but I would trust Bodo and Henry and I think it can't be too bad if you can run fast again and have lots of fun!

Lots of hugs

Cayla, I so feel for you. Not going to trot out the cliches because I know you will be aware when the time is right.
Bodo, your mum is right about all the dogs waiting, Buffy says her mum Chaka is amongst them, and she is a very special GSD.
 
Cayla

That is the second time today you have had me crying! First the rescue post and now this. You will do the right thing when you have to, however knowing it is right does not make it any easier.

Ah cr*p I am off to read it again and have a good cry.
 
Dammit, all that Christmas food has pushed my bladder too close to me eyes....
frown.gif


much as I've loved all my dogs it's my Judy I still weep for, every time I see a black and white Greyhound.

Cayla... you've done her proud xx
