Bark Anyone?

Oh my oh my what have I let myself in for....Ted has been a total nightmare today. HE WONT eat his food but is eating bark wood shavings mud slugs and anything that doesnt move. I took him for a walk. We were out for two hours; great you think NO NO NO most of the time he was being gushed over by passers by. Ted thought it was wonderful he did his cute face licked their hands PRETENDED to listen as they talked to him and ignored me, returned home where he promptly weed on the floor and ran out before I could repremand him. HE THEN BARKED relentlesly as I tried to eat a sandwich[its hard to resist giving in to him just to SHUT HIM UP] He finally gave up and fell asleep[on the couch] all is forgiven AGAIN......until tomorrow

The Big Walk

2nd June
Today was the day of the big walk, but we had t get to the lake in the car. Yes Ted cried{doesnt like the car] all the way to the lake. After a few false starts,sitting on his bum, pulling at his lead and being bloody minded, we finely got into a rhythem.Not to bad .....until I spoted another dog with his walkers.[this is not Teds fault]I am paranoid about meeting other dogs.To be fair they were a veryfriendly couple their dog was a cross westie and some other breed that I cant remember. he was very loving and BOUNCY as he jumped up with muddy paws to greet me>I smiled and said it was fine ...its an old coat. Ted was very nervous to begin with{this dog was twenty times the size of Ted]but then behaved like it was his long lost brother......The couple introduced their dog as Harry..... I hadthe stangest feeling of wanting to write a movie{but sure its been done before] WHEN HARRY MET TED......what do you think?

Ted Vs Vet

May 27th
Ted had to go to the vets today.He has been twice before for his jabs,so no suprise that he was a quivering wreck as we approched the surgery. But honestly.....what a drama queen. Big fuss from the receptionist and the vet was gushing about how well behaved he was. Last of his vaccination given we return home....not with angel dog but the devil in disguise. He went mad punishing us for having taken him by nipping and bitting and running around like a headless chicken............heaven help us when we take him for the chop in a few months.............

May 28th

This morning I was greeted by the FULL MONTY .Ok I did get up half an hour late[6.30].Trying to clean up is a nightmare every mop,cloth and spray somehow become his favourite play toy. I have tried putting him outside with bribes....food.....milk.....his own brush and mop BUT nothing keeps him happy as he puts his face up to the glass door crying. NOT that he deserves it but today he had a new basket[more expense] He is thrilled with it. he lies on his back looking as if he is sunbathing.ENOUGH OF THE CUTEY stuff Ted is still the weeing,shi.... demanding bundle of white[mud coverd] fluff that no advert shows....................


30th May
OH YES......WE LUV TED. nice clean living space this morning. {I couldnt help but wonder if he wasnt well] Of course his good behaviour didnt last long. I have what I can only describe as a well cared and cherished red rose bush .Or I did have. How could one small animal climb into a large ceramic pot and totaly destroy a thorny well established[sentimental valued] plant and look so bloody PROUD of himself, I belive that there are some very realistic plastic plants in the shops now...............do they do plastic dogs?l
