Woof
I though I was being so smart when I took off at speed along the beach this morning and ran home - mum was not impressed at all, she stayed at the beach looking for me, had to ring Dad who found me at the gate, I think I am pretty clever, crossed the main road in peak hour traffic - what is their problem.
Mum look me in the eye and told me I was naughty!   I gave her my "what have I done I am cute look"
but it did not work, so I snook off and curled and and pretended to be asleep.
  Wow talk about punishment, no breakfast, and then they left me at a strange place - what is happening, please come and get me - I will be good????   Mum said to dad, just you remember if you wander the same thing will happen to you, no food, nuts cut off and no walks on the beach for 10 days, and no licking your bits and pieces, will put a bucket on you head as well, WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN?

this is ruff, ruff ruff

I used to be able to run and hide on the dark mornings at the beach -
Not anymore, I can run but cannot hide - as if the coat was not bad enough, I now have a light- now Mum can see me amongst the driftwood, wondering if I swim along the beach I would not be seen.
If I turn my  back and sit down she cant see me until I turn around.   -Where will it end.
Not like this I hope   - please dear god, dont let mum buy one of these!!!!!

mum took these photos this morning,  she reckons she cant see me without the light!!!!

Ruff alright

Sigh!
Was not in good books yesterday, was naughty at the beach - would not stop chasing the other dogs, just trying to be friendly, mum and dad got grumpy because I would not come when they called me, everyone has an off day!   Dad growled at me, mum look angry and dad smacked my bum (anyone called CIFS)
So I was sulky all night and then I would not go to bed, I scrummaged under the bed, picked up and dropped noisey toys, they just ignored me!!!!
Went for a walk this morning, thought I had better behave, mum was really impressed, sat on first command, walked without pulling and came when she called me and I sat at her feet and looked real cute.    Don't think I have really learned my lessons, just giving them a false sense of security (dont tell them).
Had to wear jacket this morning, dear god why????  So I rolled over and over in it in the dirt, so now mum has to wash it - could throw it away.   I don't care about cold southerlies at the beach at 7am.
I am the man!
ps mum put some food outside to see if I go out in the day, hahahahahha, mum caught a cat eating it last night!

Ruffffy ruff ruff

What is it with mum and poop!  Yesterday went home after morning walk to tell dad I did two huge poops, must have weight half a kilo and this morning to tell Dad I did a man size poop, why so surprised - to quote uncle Graham "I am the man"!

Getting worried about talk of getting me fixed, how do I communicate to them I AM NOT BROKEN!

Woof
I went for two swims on Sunday, was burrrrrr cold, but fun.  Trouble was mum and dad took me home, filled up the flexi washing basket and washed me on the deck, sooooo embarrassing.
I really like sleeping on the bed at night, so I get up, find a toy to give them and stand up by the bed - if they ignore me I go to each side and then start the crying, they usually give in after about 5 minutes - suckers!!!!
Why are they getting me fixed,  I am not broken ??????

Ruuffff

rufff

We went to our last good behaviour class, and wooooof, I set out to impress.

I sat, I stayed, I lay down, I came when called and as there was an audience I decided I would shake hands as well.  Mum and Dad were so impressed, I knew how to shake hands, just waited for the right moment.   One lady there wants me to go on play dates with Pablo and also wants to look after me when mum and dad go away, but mum and dad would never go away without me!!!   Would they??????

I am also learning how to crawl commando –could be a good way of getting treats

 . 

It was cold at the beach this morning 6.45 – but it was fun and I found a dead seagull.  Mum is happyI am learning “leave it” – but only in my own time.

Woofy ruffy

Wooooofy

I stayed home by myself all day the other week, I was good, there were only toys on the floor, mum was sooooo happy.

She has bought me a nice new oilskin coat, look like a Southern man now, thank god! I have not made a mess in the house now for 2 weeks, so I deserved a new coat.   Still prefer not to have one at all, but if I must – oh well.

I met a black lab called Mac and he went into the sea water, so I followed him, well mum and his mum were talking for about 30 minutes!   Now I love the sea water and mum tries to stop me sometimes, something about being sub zero whatever that means.   She is really just embarrassed because my legs look like a rat apparently when I am wet – I am just trim.   So how come I can swim in the sea but not get wet from the rain and have to wear a coat???

Someone needs to tell mum that this is what I would like to do.

- Dog food! My favourite thing!
- A car ride! Just ok, depends where we are going!- A walk in the park and beach! My favourite thing!
- Getting rubbed and petted! My favourite thing!
- Lunch! My favourite thing!
- Played in the garden! My favourite thing!
- Wagged my tail! My favourite thing!
- Milk Bones! My favourite thing!
 - Go to play ball! My favourite thing!
Sleeping on the bed! My favourite thing!

We went to the vegetable market and I was so well behaved when other dogs were being naughty that people stopped to talk to dad about me.

Mum went out for a day and when he came home she had a bandage on her wrist, she had to change it cos everytime I saw it I chewed it (that was fun) – she was not impressed though – no fun sometimes.

Mum takes me to the beach before 7am if it is fine – its fun  - just us two humans there – Oh and lots of seagulls.   I sit and look at them, then I lay real low cos they cant see me when I do that and then I take of real fast and chase them, can never catch them, wonder if I could learn to fly.

 Mum thinks I look cute, tongue out, ears flying – oh dear!

Dad left me at home for 4 hours yesterday, so I did not use dog door – he had to clean up. He was a bit grumpy.

Woof, TGIF
