Little Red Wombling Dog Day 4

I was promoted to the canvas crate.

I did not dig my way out.

I was quiet all night.

I have got a new friend Beanz!

She lets me lie near her, but not ON her.

I would like to lie ON her but I know she has said no.

I had a busy morning.

I supervised the plumber.

Then I watched Carlsberg.

She climbed up in the tree.

I loved just watching her.

I didn't run after her.

Then Carlsberg came closer.

And closer.

Then she came right up near me.

Like 1 metre away.

Face to face.

It was too much for me. 

I barked.

She stepped back. I got timed out.

We are all fine.

Then Paws4Thought came to meet me to see if she will let me out at lunch time.

I liked Paws.

She said yes.

Caught in the Act

I KNEW those two were up to something.

Photoshoot

Today TJam decided she was going to blog me. She wanted a good shot of me pouncing on something (but she preferred it not to be alive. Wimp.) She lined up the camera.

I pounced. She shot.

Too slow.

Next, I pounced and she took probably the most unflattering picture of me it is possible to take. This is probably what I'll look like when I'm a ghost. With one eye.

Next, she pressed focus first, and then I pounced. I guess she doesn't know how to shorten the shutter speed yet. *Shakes head in despair*

And all this time, Beanz slept. No need to worry about shutter speed for her this weekend.

Duty Calls

When my big friend Beanz is scared of fireworks or our fire popping, I make her feel more secure by tucking her into her bed and keeping her there.

She is quite a comfy bed.

Spot the Cat - Part ...

Spot the Cat, Part... I can't remember

I have been working hard today, helping tomatoes ripen.
I had a little game of spot the cat to help me relax after all that exersion.

Me and Curiosity

Curiosity may (hopefully) not kill me...

... but for a moment there I thought it had made me go blind.

My Weekend

I have mostly been laying around on this lovely weekend. Although I did spend Friday night in the porch. Curiosity got the better of me as the dogs came in from their last walk of the evening, I popped into the porch but TJam didn't see me. She thought it was quiet during the night but only came looking for me on Saturday morning. I made her feel suitably guilty and she still owes me one.

I made up for it by sunning myself all weekend.

The humans deserted me on Saturday night to go out for dinner with Unliz, Bready and Coach. They had a lovely curry.

TJam is buzzing now because out on her walk today, she saw none other than David Bellamy. He was doing a tour and talk about local woodland. The dogs went and only slightly disgraced her by eating something unmentionable and then half a cheesecake that someone had dropped. A minor blip really. Look, here is DAVID BELLAMY talking to the people.

Quiet

Well, it's all been busy around here, so we've been quiet on the blogging front. Firstly, Brazil and Boy Wonder, TJam's mum and dad, came to stay for a week. The Boy Wonder has done a marvellous job on the back of our house and it looks better than new.

In the meantime, if you haven't heard from TJam, it's because this is the phone that TJam put through the washing machine.

To its credit, the phone does still turn on, but the screen doesn't work and if you try and phone out, a woman's voice says that the number is unavailable. Luckily, this has happened before TJam asked for a new phone for her birthday. Let's hope it doesn't happen again. Doubly lucky, TJam still has FlipTop's old phone, so she is using that.

We loved having Brazil and Boy Wonder here. I enjoyed walking on Boy Wonder during the night and keeping him awake.

Unfortunately, Chips caught a nasty dog-bug and had a very poorly tummy. Every hour. In the end she had to go for some injections to heal her. This week, Beanz has picked the bug up. TJam has been sleeping on the settee, and with Brazil and Boy Wonder gone, I have had the bed to myself. Although it is a little lonely up here...

Sunday Morning Lie In

This morning we all got a go at the duvet. I like a shoulder perch myself...

Beanz went for Cuddle in Lap position, and Chips mastered the Dive Under the Duvet move, so you can't see her.

Ahhh bliss.

Skype

This evening I have mostly been talking to Bamgee on Skype.

Cats and Mountain Goats

The great thing about cats is our stealth, agility and sure footedness.

We can get anywhere, navigating round obstacles and ornaments with our nifty footwork, like Ginger Rogers...

Ooops. How did that get there?

Nothing to do with me...

Spot The Cat

Don't ask how I got in here. I just did.

Swindle

I have been using this trampoline for 2 days now and I haven't lost a pound!

Deja Vu

We all had a surprise this morning. More snow!

The dogs got to see some beautiful scenery. Of course it was wasted on them.

Luckily, Chips was wearing her new coat, which TJam is very pleased with cos it doesn't fall off. I think Chips was pretty glad of it too.

Me? Well, this is what I think of snow.
It's for dogs.

Technicality

It was the floor that broke the plate, and not me. I just happened to push it off the counter.

I plead not guilty on a technicality Your Honour.

Snowy Adventure

-by Carlsberg

Today, the humans (TJam, Nerospal and B1B2) and dogs went for a walk in the snow. TJam fell over twice in the first 5 minutes. The dogs were pretty sure footed...

but the humans made more of a meal of it...

B1B2 and her dog, B2, had a quick cup of tea at the cafe...

Then everyone set off to the pinetum. The dogs usually go pretty wild there. They must be communing with the spirit world. You can see Beanz heading off to frolic...

They went to their special tree...

...before heading off in the blizzard, singing Christmas songs.

When they got home, Beanz went for a lie down in the garden...

... and I pounced on everything that moved. You will notice that photos of Chips are severely lacking by this point. She was in her warm bed...

...and now my favourite photo, in which I am bigger than Beanz!

Truce

We are having a truce in the bed wars. The fire is on and there's only one place to be.

Bed Saga Continues

This bed business has not been much fun. Since Carlsberg got ideas above her station, Beanz and I have had to sleep on the floor while she gets the best bed in the house.

But then I developed a cunning plan. So cunning that in the words of Black Adder, you could put a tail on it and call it a fox. Only I call it, "Mission Bunkbed"

I thought Mission Bunkbed was win-win until I felt the evil eye. Foiled!

I will have to start work on plan B.

Online Shopping

I love online shopping, as long as it comes in a box. With plenty of packaging.

Alien Craft

I was out in the garden the other day, when a funny thing appeared on our lawn. Well, lawn is a very grand word for my teardrop of grass, but that is its name. Lawn.

I had a good look. Then TJam put some sticks in it. I don't want to lose my "curiosity" reputation, so I went in to have a look. Turns out TJam and the dogs are going on a camping trip. I am the only one not going, and I am the only one showing any enthusiasm round here.

Wait a minute. I am not invited? I jumped up on the tent and made 9 little holes in it. That'll teach 'em.

(Actually, I jumped on the tent to try and climb up it and fell off in a You've Been Framed movement, but don't tell anyone. They can quake at my vengance.)
