Tara:
Hahaha! We had a GREAT walk today. Look. This is my Beach Face:
I am wearing my blue bow, and have sand in my eyebrows. It was ACE!!!
First of all we went to have lunch with Dad in the sausage place beside where Dad works. And then he left to start being shifty. Or doing his shifty thing. Wotever.
So we went down ontot he beach, and Mum gave us sausage. But it woz weird. They weren't the usual sausages. They came out of a plastic bag! Mum says that now
Cato:
Dad and Mum could both come on our walk today, so we had a Pack walk together, at Foxy, cos Mum said we might be able to see some ghosty monster things there, under the leaves, if we sniffed really hard! But instead we found Georgie.
It was very leafy
Tara just wanted treats. So she climbed up on every bench and asked for them. She looks a bit sulky here, doesn't she? That is cos Mum said 'not this time, Little Madam!'
Haha!
This is the Step Mountai
Tara: Oh Aunties! today has been terrible!
We went out with Mum this morning for breakfast sausages. And AuntieJane, who we LOVELOVELOVE
So that woz fun.
But then it turned out that AuntieJAne has hurt her knee and couldn't walk! So Mum and us took her out to LOOK at the sea. And the beach. And all the sniffs we could see from the car but not sniff! It was awful. AND it rained! And rained.
And Mum and Auntie sat and talked and talked and talked, and Cato and I had to
Abby
Aunties you should have seen us, we went down to our favorite Uncles for his birthday dinner....Mom forgot her phone so no pictures...(sorry)
I learned to fly in his great big garden...yep I sure did! Mom says I was flying 90mph round and round as brother tried to catch me...but he couldn't I was flying I tell ya...my hair blowing in the breeze as I raced around...brought a tear to mom's eyes....don't know why though...silly mommie .....
Mom: I had a tear in my eye because
Tara:
We went to see AuntieKim! We went on a loooooong walk! We woz tired! Cato snores louder when he is tired!
We love AuntieKim and Mr Kim. Mr Kim sits on the sofa and we both fit on his lap.
Cato:
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Mum:
We didn't walk today. I was a bit achy (for no good reason), so we spent the day in the house and on the sofa. Much snuggling, and brushing and playing with toys.
As always, when we do this, they are both absolutely delighted with their chillaxed day, right up until the point (usually around 8pm) when Tara's energy reaches a critical pressure, and the steam HAS to be let out somehow. This may involve barking in the garden, trying to put Cato off my lap by his tail, skittering t
Cato:
So today Mum took us to Bear Woods. It was GREAT.
This is First Sniff:
and this is a nice Spaniel who wasn't listening to his Mum at all. She was shouting and shouting, and he was sniffing and sniffing.
Today we went the other way round from normal, so all the sniffs came in the reverse order. It was fun!
Just along here we met a lady from Mum's work, with her friend and two children. We were excellent Shih Tzu ambassadors, Mum says. The boy
We always thought it best to teach some sort of recall and enforce it constantly daily with simple command words.....We'll today it was needed big time. Hubby took our next door neighbors trash bins around and forgot to close our gate. I have a phobia and always look out to check it whenever I let the terriable two out for a wee and play time...This time to my horror it was OPEN and they were headed down the path but at the end our other neighbors house.......They must have thought they were go
Aunties, me and mommy haven't been around much and probably won't be for awhile... We Really miss being here and wish we could be around more but see daddy has to have a big operation. We found out he has a bad growth, mommy said it was something called malignant, I don't understand but I know it's not good... And they have to go take it out and maybe some other stuff, I don't know..
And I have to go be boarded cuz mommy can't take me and will be gone a long time. Yep I gotta go get a flu s
Tara:
Cos Mum isn't working this week we are getting more fun walks! IT is ACE. I don't think Mum should work at all. Then we could have nice walks every day. She says that she is having another holiday. But if that is true, why haven't we gone back to the Mountains to stay, and have Mountain adventures. This can't be a PROPER holiday, can it?
We hadn't been to Our Field at the end of the road for AGES, so we went today. It hadn't changed.
Lots of doggy sniffs and pl
Tara:
It's my Twooth Birthday! I am Two. That is both front paws, isn't it? While Cato is all old and is nearly all four paws. Front and Back. That is OLD isn't it?
My Dad had to go to work, so we did a nice walk without him, and it woz fun, but it wozn't my Special Birthday Walk. Mum says we can do that in a few days. I am going to get a Special Birthday PINK dinner too! I am sooooo excited!
Today we went to the beach and to the Centre of the Universe. I like that place.
Cato:
Ooooh we had a FAB walk today. First it was Auntie Jane and sausages! Yay! And then it was Foxy Park! Yayay!!!
But I did hear Mum and Autnie making strange noises about something called Gluten Free, and how there is Gluten in sausages, and how Gluten makes Thyroid stuff worse, and how my tummy should be Gluten Free. It is a bit worrying.
Anyway, here is our lovely walk:
This is me and Tara meeting Becky's Mum. Becky is the spaniel. She was even more timid and sil
We got all excited today. Mummy said that a new dog field had been opened in our little town. It's part of the field behind the cemetery. Mummy read somewhere the council were going to fence it off so it was secure and let us doggies meet and greet and play with each other.
So off we went all excited, I may add.
But when we arrived at the field, Mummy turned all grumpy... I know you won't believe us, but she does get grumpy sometimes.
She said that the grass hadn't been cut for
Tara:
We had a lovely walk today. With AuntieSue. And I got to sit on her lap! And I love her.
Cato was all pushy and wanting attention, see?
But look how much I love her! I love her more than he does!
And isn't my bow pretty?
Mum was doing lots of yellow tree stuff as we walked round. Not interesting.
This is me asking for AuntieSue and Mum to sit down. They didn't. I really like this bench. I jump up on it every time we go past. Doing
Cato:
Oh Aunties, I nearly lost Mum! It was terrible! But she found me. So it was OK.
I was off snuffling and exploring, and I know the way, so I might have gone a bit ahead.
But she and Tara went down the tunnel, and I didn't see, cos I was sniffing amazing sniffs.
And I know that Mum called me, cos she always does. But I kind of didn't hear.
So when I looked up and didn't see them, I ran on, cos I thought I had got left behind. Only when I got ro
Cato: Hi Aunties. Mum has been very busy too busy to blog for us. And there was bad rain too.
We actually started having a beach walk on Monday, but it started to rainrainrain and we all came home, without pics.
Then Tuesday it was HorbbibleWet. All day. So we snuggled with Mum at lunchtime on the sofa. But then Dad took us for a walk on Wednesday when Mum was out. We missed her lots, but she came back, so that was OK.
This is our walk with Dad. Lots of space to run and
Cato:
Mum has been watching me for my Autumn Snuffles. And she thought this morning that they might have arrived. So today I had my special Snuffle Tablet (in cheese!!!) before our walk, and I haven't been snuffling at all. Not sure why Tara had cheese too though. She doesn't get snuffles, so why does she get cheese?
Anyway it was a great walk. See:
This is my favourite poo spot. I didn't need to today. But I always think about it.
Tara wanted us to stop at this
Hi everyone, we are still around. I keep popping in the read posts, so I must try to catch up with everyone..... I'm all recovered from the operation. I went back to work 6 days after the op, but after being at work for 3 half days, I had to get in touch with the doctor again as I wasn't feeling well. She gave me some more tablets to help with the bleeding and I had a few more days off work. I didn't realise how much I needed those days off until I took them. I worked my first full week last we
Cato: Dad had to go to work, so Mum and us went for a walk. We all wanted to try somewhere new and exciting, so Mum did GoogleFu and found us an interesting BirdReserve thing, which we all thought looked really interesting. Only it wasn't. Don't tell Mum, but me and Tara were a bit bored. Hopefully Mum won't take us there again.
IT was supposed to be all sniffy and full of interesting birds and paths and sucky sand, and stuff. But when we got there all the interesting bits had 'Keep
Cato: Aunties!!! Look wot I found! Isn't it BEAUTIFUL!!!
I found it here. It is sniffy and soggy and utterly perfect. I took one look at it, and KNEW it was meant to be...
I just gave it a gentle sniff to start with. And rolled it around a bit. Just to get to know it, you know.
But then I rolled it about, and between Dads legs... it was MARVELLOUS.
And I found some sticky out bits, and I can pick it up! Look!
Dad offered to carry it
Tara:
Gosh it was wet today. Dad says he thinks I am going to stop widdling outside when I am old and cranky like Cato. But I won't. It woz just that it was a bit of a shock to be carried downstairs all warm and snuggly and lovely, and then be dumped on the doorstep with Dad's toe scooting me up the tail! Pushing me out into the cold wetness for my morning widdle! A girl should be given time to think about these things, before being shoved out in the wet!
I may have got a bit boun
Cato:
Yesterday we went for lunch with Mum and Dad to the sausage place. It was a working day for Mum so we had to rush. Mum had boring fish, and Dad had boring eggs, so Dad asked the nice lady for a sausage for us! We like the nice sausage lady. She brought us our sausage all chopped up on a little plate specially for us!
We like the sausage cafe and the sausage lady!!!
Mum would have taken a pic of our sausage, only she had been so busy with work, and we were in such a rush
We had a funny old day here filled with worry for our dear Abby.
She was fine at first but 30 minutes after waking she ran to the bathroom to proceed to vomit then dirrehea on her pad. She then laid on the top landing and vomited more but all mucous..... Then to the lower landing she vomited even more still mucous and lumps ..... Took her outside where she vomited even more stingy mucous. She stopped momentarily for 15 minutes and suddenly rushed upstairs....(something she does when she has
