Bad Dog

So there has been some bad behaviour from The Dobstar this week.

Firstly he was sick again but this time didnt bother to even move and just puked all over himself. Now I know sometimes this cant be helped but in my world unless you've drunk so much Vodka that you cant move you should at least get up to chunder in an acceptable place - the toilet, the sink, the back door, the gutter - but no - Dobstar can puke on himself and then be wet wiped - perfectly happy with that apparently!!!!

Secondly him and Tarks got left alone and destroyed a set of lovely painted ornamental eggs at Tanglefoot. Now these eggs live in a bowl on the windowledge that Dobbie has happily sat on for the last 18 months without any interest whatsoever. This along with the fact that the egss are too big and slippy for him to get his little tiny adorable innocent mouth round leads me to conclude Tarka was the instigator. I am picturing her picking them up and throwing them at him like a missile - what could he do but defend himself and rip them up??????? Me and Miss Tiny are still in discussion about this matter and the aportioning of blame
.........Look at his perfect adorable sorry innocent little face??? 
Bad Tarka.
OK - so my lovely postcard has a chunk ripped out.... sorry???? it got caught in the letter box???? 
What is that face saying - defiance?
Hmmmmmmmm
So we went off to watch Tarka at Gun Dog Training this week. 
We weren't invited and were most amused to totally embarrass Tiny with her Country-Proper-Dog friends when we arrived in her fancy Gun Dog Country car. They didn't seem to think we would cut it as a Gun Dog but to be fair there was not a lot of shootin' and huntin' goin on - just learning to sit and stay and try to point your sorry immature nose in the direction of the latest treat - Doh. Not impressed and didn't wanna join that gang anyway.
Sofa-Dog Club is the way forward
much Kooler
(but it has to be said Tarka is VERY good and VERY clever - we just need to learn how to keep up with her!)

Dog-in-a-Basket

Where have we been????? I don't know!!!!????

 Are we really too busy to post?

 - well NO - we just need to be more disciplined............So we were urged to post right now to share the JOY of being out on our bike together. Despite the fact that YES - this IS the precarious angle that he rides at because we cannot find a solution to the basket-support dilemma despite our best efforts he LOVES riding with me on the bike. We have a little ride then a little stop to sniff then a little ride again.............and all those who see us laugh and smile and point and it is quite certainly the most marvellous thing to do......Dobbie-in-a-basket rocks X

Glorious Grange

So we all went off and had the most lovely week in Glorious Grange-over-Sands.
Great location, Great Accomodation, Great food (as always) Great bike rides, Great pub lunch, not a bad week at all at work and lots of Doggie-based fun, sniffs and cuddles.

All the facial expressions below are quite representative of the week........
 Dad - "when are we going back to the butchers?"
Mum - "Yes Dear - Dobbie is adorable isn't he?"
Dobbie - "Yep - I'm adorable - REALLY scarily cute"
George - "erm - did Dad something about The Butchers?????"

Beautiful Bala

 So I went off to Bala for the most spectacular snowy walks this weekend.
 Tarka learnt how to do ladder stiles and how to negotiate very deep snow and very slippy ice.

We made it up The Arenig despite drifts up to our thighs and enjoyed a well deserved ham and cheese sandwich at the top.

We set off to do Cadre Idris but made the right decision to turn back half way up when we noticed the only footprints in the snow had full-on spikes on them.
 We were very dissapointed but sure we made the right decision after we saw the warden had posted this sign in the carpark after we set off!!!


Good memories of my favourite picture of me and Amber ? pretty much in exactly the same place??? 
 The most fantastic weekend :-)))
