When the special collar, lead and jacket come out I know I’m going to have a good day! We always go without Cookie and sit in the noisy, small moving room for a while. The place we go to has lots of corridors and doors and is very big. It smells of so many things, […]
We had a wonderful morning the other day. When we first got up, the boss didn’t give us our breakfast straight away which was a bit worrying. Boulmer was particularly alarmed and spent about 10 minutes walking from his bowl to the boss and back, whining. I just lay down and waited. Moaning never makes […]
I do like it when the days start to get longer and warmer. I can lie in the sunshine (when there is some) and smell the countryside bursting into life again around me but still stretch out in front of the fire in the evenings. I love going for walks up in the woods and […]
It was clear to me when Cookie’s puppies were here, that they needed lessons in doing just about everything, as they had absolutely no manners. I’ve been around a while now and have learned an awful lot about people and how to train them so here are my thoughts on greeting people for the puppies […]
What can I teach you about digging? Well, where do I start? I love it! The more I dig the better I like it. That feeling of mud clogging between my toes, the delicious smells that waft up out of the ground, the way it makes me pant and feel I’ve worked really hard. Every […]
The first sign that something was going on was the curious behaviour of Cookie. She spent the whole day just following the boss around and panting like she’d just been on a long run. I decided to try and play with her, but she didn’t want anything to do with me and instead half-heartedly chewed […]
Growing fat was really getting me down. I love to run and especially to dash around the jumps and other painted things in the field, but over the past few weeks I’ve been finding it harder and harder to do. I get so out of breath that I have to lie down and pant for […]
Cookie was given a new bed the other day. It’s enormous and looks much nicer than mine. It has a soft floor and a bit of a cave at one end. The only thing I don’t like about it is that there’s a rail running all the way around the inside so I can’t lean […]
I don’t know why she keeps putting stuff in my eyes. They feel absolutely fine and I can see really clearly now. I reckon I can probably see better than the boss, at least it seemed that way the other day. As usual Cookie was bouncing about and she and I were in the garden. […]
It’s not unusual for dogs to come and stay for a while. It’s fun to have someone different to play with and the same dogs come back again and again and are really like members of the pack. I can’t remember how long ago it was that Boulmer came. I assumed that he’d be around […]
