Sandy and Yellow Dog opening pressies *pic overload*

[Cop-Pop]

Coz I is well cheap I wait until after Christmas and buy their pressies in the Pets at Home sale so they had doggy Christmas today. We spoil them rotten with tidbits and turkey supper on Christmas Day itself so they don't really miss out.

Sorry for the blurryness of some of the pics, they were like kids on sugar today and wouldn't keep still

Video - opening pressies ***please excuse squeaky voices, we're all a bit odd***

Yellow Dog investigating toy package

Sandy playing with toy (FYI down to 99p and really tough )

Eating is serious business She looks so stern in this lol

Yellow Dog eating before he got bored

Lying in her fave place, right where she can sit up at the wrong moment and disrupt the signal from the remote to the TV...

Finishing up after lunch

Brief interlude to help Dad finish carving the lamb up

Back to the pressies!! Note the tongue - she tried biting the plastic and was v disappointed it wasn't food

Gimme gimme gimme!!!!

Tog-o-War again Its her fave game (apart from sneaking up behind you and barking thus inducing mild heart failure and leaping ten foot in the air...)

Proof that both dogs are freaks - they LOVE Twiglets!! and will seek out whoever is eating them WEIRDOS!!

Saving the best til last but no pics *mass sigh of relief* she's now walking in the fields quite happily with my dad too as they're really starting to bond She sits with him and they 'chat' to each other They walked her round their local town the other week and she initially freaked out but after a few laps of the carpark she was quite happy and settled down We're going to attempt a visit to Pets at Home next weekend - Yellow Dog is bad enough when he drools over the rabbits, not quite sure what her reaction will be.... Will take my camera lol

Sorry for the pic overload, I told everyone you'd regret asking for regular updates

A sale, you say? Lovely pics

Lovely! What waggy tails too! Bet they send a vase or two flying

 

[MurphysMinder]

Lovely pics of them both. I think Sandy's story was probably the high spot of AAD for me last year (and Milo's recovery).

CC - yes a sale! All the Christmas stuff is 50% off or more and other things are in it too but I didn't really look, it was packed (it's nextdoor to Next who were limiting entry to their store)

Sarah - we've always had goldies and labs so nothing is kept at tail height OH lost 3 mugs before he cottoned on to putting things high up Yellow Dog did manage to clear OH's grandad's plate with his tail last night tho lol

MM - I wish I could convey what a difference this girl has made to our lives, she's in her forever home now and we all love her little paws off. 2010 was pretty cr*p for our family but she really brought good fortune to us and we're eternally grateful to whoever posted the initial link (I'm so sorry but I can't remember who it was now )

Aw lovely pics and so glad she's settled in with you all

I must disagree re: Twiglets though. They are rather high on the top 5 list of Greatest Foods Ever Created. It's only natural that dogs should adore them too

My in-laws have a ten month old lab x German Pointer who developed a taste for Twiglets over Christmas - he swiped a few from the dish on the coffee table on Boxing day morning and got told off and then later in the day mangaed to inadvertantly sweep a load out of the dish with his lethal wagging tail - he was delighted to find it was raining Twiglets!

Lovely to see Sandy has landed on her paws and great to hear the positive effect she has had on your lives too.
