A porker!?

When me and Mum went to agility today we found that they had changed the time of the beginner class and so the better class was on instead. They let me join in and I did very well! I gots to go up the A-Frame and the dog walk a few times properly and they all said I should join their class instead! Hehe. We have been invited to one on tuesday so we will see how that goes.

The teacher lady touched me on my back (not allowed! I hardly knows her!) and said I be a bit of a porker! Mum thought she wrong at first and got a bit offended but then she though maybe I is a porker! She says she has beed thinking I getting a bit porky lately but didn't want to admit it. She told Grandpaw that means no more treats from him cos she knows he sneaks me treats and he so grassed on me! He said "Well I only give him a few of Penny's biscuits in the morning." Mum got mad at Grandpaw and says I is not allowed any biscuits at all! I doesn't eat breakfast usually you see cos I wasn't really eating it and on a raw diet it better to have big portions that you can spend a good time chewing up. Grandpaw doesn't think that fair (I agree) and he has beed giving me breakfast when Mum goes to work. Rats!

Does I look like a porker?

Catching up -fun dog show

Here be the piccures from the fun dog show me and Penny went to a couple of weeks ago. It beed named very good cos it oh so exciting! I had a go in the obedience classes but didn't win anything cos I beed too excited cos they started just as we got there. 

 

Mum say it good experience for me and I did do the second half very good and my down stay perfect.

Auntie Penny had a very good time and had lots of fun getting attentions from efurryone. She did the fastest recall pretty good. I didn't get a very good score cos Mum couldn't get my collar quick enough.

 

 

Here my friend Benji saying hello to Auntie Penny.

 

Fastest recall

 

A very big dog who tooked my ball.

 

In the ring for the pastoral section

We woned some ribbons and some treats. Well quite a lot of treats actually! The only thing Mum didn't think was right is I did not win anything for handsomest dog! As if!!

I got a 1st place for best matched pair with my pal Benji. We were up against stiff competition. That big brown dog and a black one like him. (they newfies) lots of pairs of terriers, 2 bull dogs. a couple pairs of collies and two black labradors.
Me and Penny got a 6th place best mismatched pair. Then I gotted a 5th place for best non-sporting dog and a 6th place for best trick. Which pretty cool since I only done half my trick.
Penny did better, she got a 2nd place for best veteran and a 2nd place for dog with waggiest tail. She did very good!

TCT- Black!

I has not played TCT for ages and ages and ages. If you want to play too, go see Blue.
But since my very own bro-fur be black I could not NOT play this week.
So quickee, cos Mum say she want to go to bed.
Here he be.

 

Get your aw's ready...

It sure good to have him back.

Speaking of black. My good buddy Reilly has a new bro-fur too. hehe! Go visit him to say hi!

Catching up - Hol-ee-day

Time for my first catching up post.
You might do rememberings that ages ago me and Mum and grandpawents went on hol-ee-day to go see some of Mum's family and I got to stay in a hotel!

Well, here some more piccures from then.

As I said afore, it beed a very long drive. 6 hours and more and I beed too interested in everything to do even one wee!  Mum amused herself though.

Nearly there!

 

The steps at the car park scared me a lot, they had no backs! They beed floating and dangerous!!

The hotel reception doors. Everybody that worked in the hotel got to know me and would say hello. My new friend came to visit me too. He more my friend than Mum's now cos I the best and I licked his face so that makes him mine. That his hand.

Here where I had my water and ate my food.

I liked going between Mum's room and Grandpawents room and going in the lift was the very best. I was pawsome at the lift.

We went visiting lots of people but afore we went we stopped off at a place called the lakes.

I had fun!

We visited my great Grandmaw for lunch. She liked me a lot! She gave me biscuits. Real people biscuits! I never get those.

We also went to go see my favouritist Auntie, Auntie Sam and her childrens. There the ones who comed down and we seed the money tree together.

They have a dog called Noah. I did not like him. He beed too bouncy over me so I showed him my mean teeth and my best snarly noises. He kinda got the message after a while that I did not want to play.

Our hotel beed at the edge of the town so Mum did quite a bit of shopping.

This makes Mum feel at home more than sheeps and things does cos she grewed up here.

Lots of peoples said aw at me. I think that people for a butt sniff.

In that evening we went out with Sam to have dinner. We went to a place called Franky and Benny's with a very nice outdoor area so I could go too. I got my very own chair. Well actually Mum had tied me to her chair and she went to the toilet and when she came back the family had got me my very own chair to sit on. I lied down on it and Auntie Sam fed me titbits. Then I got to ride in a very fancy car and felt very special and got a late night visit to the lakes. No piccures of that though cos Mum forgot her camera.

Next day we wented for breakfast. I had a natures menu food pack. Yum! ~Although I did be hoping for sausage and eggs actually...

Later on we all went to another of Mum's sisters called Mary. Some other sisters came round so there beed lots of family and lots of childrens there. I didn't be allowed in the house here but it beed ok cos all the childrens looked after me and I sat on Auntie Sam's lap and Mum's too.

I could show you lots of family photos but they doesn't have me in them so I wont!

Later me and Mum went to go look at a flat that we might be going to live in to meet the flat owners dog to see if we get on. She was bossy but I liked her so it a possibility that Mum thinking about. Only trouble be she a terrier and we all know how terriers feel about rabbit-dogs!

hm, now what did we do next.

Oh yes!!

Pet Shop!

Now Mum broked her rule about not shopping in a petshop that sells animals, but P@H be working very hard to get their animal welfare standards very high so we thought we would make an exception. Plus Mum left me there on my own to get groomed so she could go meet her friend and go shopping.

Hurruff, Rabbit-dogs!

Look at all the stuffs she bought me. Yummy hays. Although she has given it all to Molly and Faline, I think she got a bit confused there.

I did get a new toy though.

Next Mum went out and left me in the hotel on my own! I just went to sleep though. Mum knows cos the cleaner beed doing our floor and Mum asked if I was good and she said she didn't even know I be there. Mum coulda just asked me!

Mum came back with this strange thing!!

It beed sitting in some kind of monsteer!!!!!

I bark barked and Mum did real bad tellings off. It wasn't scared of me. This Mum's nephew from her best friend in the wholllle world. She say he be a little kind of children called a baby. I not too sure, he look like a monster to me. I sat on Mum's lap.

Went for a sneaky sniff but he saw!

Oh no, he got my toy!

Give it back!

Well then he left. Without my toy I might add. And we went back to greatgrandmaws.

That beed our last day on hol-ee-day. I got left with grandpaw that night and Mum did that dressing up thingy and went out without me!! With MY friend.

humph.

I slept most of the way back and beed very glad to be home and have Auntie Penny back. (She stayed with Sally's pawrents) But I sure did have a fun adventure!

Goodness and badness

I beed good and bad!
Mum has still beed working lots and I getting pretty fed up about it. Especially since Sally has comed home. It making Mum grumpy too. So it totally understandable that I did a bad thing. Mum never woulda knowed if Grandpaw hadn't grassed on me either.

I runned away from Grandpaw and had an explore in some fields! It beed very fun. He would run away and I would chase him then I'd run away and he would chase me! Eventually Grandpaw caught me and he didn't seem like he enjoyed our game very much. I just beed looking for Mum. He told Mum it took him half an hour to catch me but I think he lied.

So that my bad thing. Now my good thing. In my training class on monday Mum beed so very very proud of me.
All us dogs had to do down stays in a row. Our peoples all walked away a bit and then they all took it in turns to step right over us. I know! Walking over us. All you sheltie Mum's and Dad's will know just how much of a challenge that beed for me! Mum gave me a whole handful of cheese and lots of kisses for doing that. I only got up once when a very heavy footed lady stepped over me but everypup got up with her too.

So that my very quick post. We off to sleep now. Mum off work tomorrow so I will do catchings up then!

498

That be the number of posts that I has missed out on while I not been posting. On top of getting better from her tooth Mum's medicines that they gived her for it made her feel not very well so she had the being sickies and the sleepies inbetween going to work lots and lots and lots! I has told ehr if she goes so much again I will not let her play with any of my toys. So I think that solved that one. We has not even turned the computer on for more than a week. That how you definately know a people be ill.

I has not beed too lonely without Mum here though. Guess who has come to stay for a couple of weeks.

Yup! My bestest pal Sally! Well, I has had lots to post about and I guess I had to cancel my tour, which really too bad. I missed you all though!

~Glad to be back lickies, Ludo

Happy Birthday!!

Auntie Penny!

Yup, today be Auntie Penny's birthday. She be 12 years old!
We lost the little camera card so not many pics as we had to use grandma's camera.

I got very confused about Penny getting attentions and stuffs. It usually me who get all that. Why not it my birthday too!!

I let her wear my bandana from Stella so she felt pretty.

Lots has beed happening here. Two of Mum's sisters came from the weekend. Mum's mouth where she had her wise teeths our got infected and she is not feeling well at all. I has to look after her. She has some antibiotics from the people vet.

London

Our tour continued in the CAPITAL of England, which be called London. London has lots of sights to see and what with Mum's hurty teeths she didn't manage to capture them all. But there a few piccured here.

Here comes our bus!

OMD! What's Woodstock doing up the top, sight seeing? Who driving the bus.

Martha? Surely that not safe, her legs not reach the peddles and she not even like driving. Oh, Bailey be working the peddles, ok then.

First stop required a visit to a really big puddle. Called the Thames. Yous can see a lot of things from the Thames. It a very important river that used to be so very polluted but getting better now.
Here be a nice learning link for you to learn some histories. Sometimes we hears news stories about how a poor hugenormous whale, even bigger than Mango comes swimming up the Thames and can't get back out. There lots of old and new things living in the Thames like shopping trollies, and shackles.

Most of all it fun to go sight seeing on and one of our most, er... popular soaps is set along the Thames, in the East End of England. Where they talk like this... (don't watch past the first few seconds where you see the Thames cos is gets real sad) That video a tribute to a famous doggy named Wellard who was on the soap for 14 years (played by three generations of dogs!) Well, that a bit of 'pop culture' for you. Now onto the sight seeing.

Some dogs had other things on their mind than looking at the buildings. I doesn't blame them, buildings is boring!

Ah, this more like it, lunch! Isn't it very grand inside our tour boat. Some dogs is doing their best 'please' look while young Maya just casnot resist. Who could blame her, I is only not tucking in cos I is being held back by Mum!

We spotted the London eye from our boat and decided to go up for a whirl around.

I took my gal Morgan into our own private carriage to whisper sweet nothings about bacon and tug toys in her beautiful ears.

*blush*

Lets look at who's in the next pod along.

Oh dog! Maybe we should back out, that look a bit private...

hehe, I sure it all innocent and Katie just be showing Reilly her new trick, not flirting at all! huruff!

Next off to one of the most important places in London. Buckingham Palace. Why? Cos the Queen lives there, well, sometimes, and she a dog lover, so I sure she would appreciate us all coming to visit, right?

Dum dum dum duuummm. That the noise we apposed to make when we see the flag. Oh, Mum say that not really right, we apposed to say 'God save the Queen (and her dogs!)'

Hm, why does Bailey seem to be running away from the palace. I does hope our bus is safe and not smashed into the side of it or anything. I sure I can trust those Basset babes though.

Here Stella trying to convince a guard to let us in. We nominated her as the most pursuasive.

Come back soon! I should be able to post the next one tomorrow now that Mum's teeths has stopped hurting her. You shoulda seen her, moan, moan, moan. 'Ludo, does not put your face so close to mine, no hitting with paws, no licking, No sitting on my face so I casnot get away.' Sigh.
