200!! Starting the tour in...

Liverpool!!

Welcome to my 200th post pawtee tour of England celebration. I so glad lots of you wanted to join me and I hope I stuck around long enough at the airport to collect you all, but never fear, there lots more airports in Britain.

We decided to start off in Liverpool cos it beed the capital of culture in Europe for 2008 and I thought that sounded like it might be good to give us some stuff to sound clevers about.

I went to the John Lennon Airport to meet the first wave of DWB's.

Of course my guests had no trouble finding me... And it beed quite easy to get through customs cos we had no shoes to be checked.

It was all outside where a very special English bus awaited us with a very special driver!

Woodstock!

Liverpool is probably most famous for The Beatles, and for Football. Well, I doesn't like football cos it makes people shouty, so I went for The Beatles instead. We visited this place...

Somedogs thought it would be fun to have a go at being The Beatles

They were just pawtastic!! Of course bad boy Mack had to be drummer, with Stella, Amber, and TD... I wonder why them haircuts aren't still in fashion?

All the talk of beatles made a certain cat rather hungry, so imagine how excited he was when he spied this...

A super giant spider!

But up close, it looked rather more scary than edible.

The cats on the trip had gathered round for a closer look. GJ decided best to play dead, Ali Zophia felt rather more brave than usual what with two 'brave' (hehe!) man cats to look after her, whilst JB slunk quietly away and my brofur Pepe tried to look nonchalant.

We decided to beat a hasty retreat back to the bus incase the spider got hungry, come back next post to see where we're off to next.

I back!

Well, you didn't do knowings that I was gone actually, cos I forgot to tells you all. But me and Mum and grandpawents went away for a week to go visit their family all the way down the country in a place called hertfordshire.

I beed a super super good boy! It was such a very long journey in the car. 6 whole hours! I got a lot of sleeping done.

Me and Mum had a hotel room and Grandpawents had one across the hall from us. I got to ride in a lift and do lots and lots of exciting things!

I will has to tell you more about it after we gets back from our pawty tour cos I has too many piccures to show and this post number 199. Now you may be thinkings that last post be 199 but Mum did some tidying up and found an old draft post not published that beed taking up a number. Handy huh!

I hopes you all packed and ready and making your way to your airports, cos I off to meet you at the airport now.

Oh, I managed to work it so Mum could have the week off work and come be our photographer, but she might not get too many piccures cos yesterday she went and had her wise teeth out and now she be totally dumb and her face has all puffed up and she complaining a lot. I waiting to see just how stupid she get...

oh yes, I had my first go in a groomers down there, whadyouthink?

We made some Pilchard treats to take tonight. Me and Penny licked the spoon.

 

Yummy!!!!!

If yous want to make them for yourself we just got a tin of pilchards in tomato sauce, took a fillet out and some sauce mixed it with a whole egg, about 100g of flour and a splash of water, stick it in the oven and hey presto! I had the rest of the pilchards for my dinner.

Penny only has to look pretty to get treats, not fair right?

 

Faline wanted some, but she doesn't like fish for some strange reason...

pretty!

Sorry I hasn't beed about for a couple of days. We has beed very busy. Mum had a friend come down to visit for a few days. At first he looked big and scary so I had to do my best go away barkings, but then I decided he was my friend too because he does very good strokings and tug of wars and he didn't try and pat my head. We sad he gone now. One day we went walking up on st. Bees head. Here some pretty piccures for you to look at.

wordless?

Lot's of stuff.

Hello dogs and nice cats. As you know that petulant pup Ludo is a very bad dog. It has come to my attention that he has been given some very underserved awards, which really should have been given to me. Especially since my Husbun got a special birthday post and the Hooman forgot all about mine!! I had great pleasure reading through some of the comments that were pleased about Ludo's hidden dark side. Well, let me assure you, it's not so hidden here. I've made a list of just some of the reasons he is so bad. 1. He is noisy 2. He is mean to the good dog 3. He has a wet nose. 4. He touches me with the wet nose. 5. He walks inside my house without asking. 6. He eats carrits, which are obviously not meant for dogs. 7. He tears people stuff up, like rubbish and leaves it all over the floor 8. He steals my hay. 9. He barks at all the people/things/monsters that go past. 10. If I move fast when I'm indoors he will try and chase me.
As you can see it is quite an extensive list. And so all you who have given him awards should really retract them.

~Yours, Faline.

Hurro! I forgiven now! Mum went out and comed back really late and I had my sleepy ears on and she loves my sleepy ears and I gived her good cuddles and said oohohhohh like I do when I am feeling snuggly and then she loved me again.

I do too deserve my awards, especially having to put up with a stinky rabbit like Faline. Although it does be a nice stinky, she smells very lovely! But doesn't tell her that!

So, here my awards I beed gived.

The esteemed bear Sir Woodstock gived me this award.

The translation of the award is 'Your Blog is Like a Pearl - Rare, delicate and charming!'
Only my posts!
Mum, Faline be posting in my part!!
Anyways...

The rules to accept this award.

You must post the link of who sent the award to you.

Then pass the award on to 6 blogs with Pearl and Emotion.

Well, I not sure what pearl be. Something shiny I bet.
I gonna pass this one onto Dennis, cos I bet he likes shiney things and his adventures make me feel lots of emotions.
Paco, Milo and Maya
Asta
Those D. Beagles.
My new friend Brownie
and the Bully brats (get well soon Woodrow!)

Thanks Sir woodstock, I likes you lots cos you look like a stuffy, but the not yours kind of stuffy which I know I must not touch. (now)

Next i got


Wow, Furry cool!! Thanks you Sally Anne and Mack!

Next I got this from a very cool pup called Wizz. You should go visit him for sure!


I has to list 7 things that people might find interesting about myself. So um, lets see. I thinks you already know everything about me!
1. I is very fussy about treats, but a complete pig for any kind of people food.
2. I is not allowed on the furniture but I get on it anyway and if someone tries to get me down I squish into the corner, Grandpaw usually gives up.
3. I like to hold Mum's hand in my mouth and nibble/suck fingers when she has been away for a long time. Mum had heard that this means I was taken away from my Mum too soon, but she knows this not be the case so doesn't know why I do it.
4. I bark at Auntie Penny on walks to try and make her chase me.
5. I love to tear things up, if the peoples be eating something I will watch and run and grab their rubbish if they put it down.
6. I only like to sleep with the lights off.
7. I quite shy with other dogs.

I has to nominate 7 blogs, I think most of you has had this one. but if not, please take it. Faline says I has to give it to some cats because they much more rabbit like than dogs, so I would like to give it to Miss Peach, Ginger Jasper, Ali -Z, Melvin and JB, Chester and Cocobean.

Next, Dennis the vizla dog tagged me to do this.
I does not really eat things I not allowed. I do sometimes tear them up though. I think the worst one be the first and only time I went bin raiding. We lived in our own house and Mum beed upstairs. I found in the bin some tasty dried liver treats. At the time Mum was making and selling meaty dog treats on the internets (she cannot do it here cos grandpaw doesn't like the smells it makes) and had done an experiment to see how long they would last afore they went mouldy. I found the mouldy ones in the bin and ate them all up. It gived me very stinky wind and poos for a couple of days.

Auntie Penny the bestest for this award. She goes bin raiding whenever she gets the chance. She grabs anything she finds in the street and will not let go and bites Mum's fingers! Infact she did it just the other day. We went past the bin to make our daily deposit and penny found a bone and picked it up. Mum tried to get it and Auntie Penny clamped down on Mum's hand. Very bad Penny! Also when she beed a puppy she knocked down the christmas tree and ate the chocklits and tinsel, she had sparkly poos.

This next part a video of Pepe. Mum has teached him to sit, but I not sure he knows it, or he was just gonna sit anyways. I not think he very clever, really.

You now has just 2, yup 2, posts/days to get your not tricky photos in to ludwigvanpup-at-live.co.uk So don't forget!!
