Tara:
i felt fine yesterday! Don't know wot the fuss woz about. But Cato was all sleepy and (Mum says I'm to use different words cos 'boring' is boring, but he WAS!) didn't want to play. We went out for a quick walk, but then he went back to sleep again! It isn't as much fun stomping on pythons and bears and stuff. They don't fight back.
Today was much better, although Mum has been upstairs a LOT.
We went down lots of roads on our walk, and i had Dad on the lead, and Cato h
Tara: I got to sit on the car seat with Dad and Nana! All the way there! And all the way back! Cato sat ON Dad's knee, but my spot woz better, cos I got fussed by Nana too! It woz ACE!!!
We went to drop Pops and Nana in town, and then went on to My Favourite Walk in All the World! Look!
Lots of pics today. This is when I woz duck hunting. But they were all hiding. The mud was lovely and squishy, cos it had melty leaves all squishifying in it.
That is the ben
Cato:
aunties, my back hurts. ?
it was a bit hurty before, and my ankles were a bit wobbly, and Mum was thinking that I should go see Mrs Vet (once Tara’s bobble was gone).
but then she got better after the op, and she Bounced on me. A lot. Mum tried to protect me, but she couldn’t stop all the Bouncing. Tara does big running up and down and leaping. And woowoowooo! And mugging and stuff. And my back hurts. Mum says she is veryveryvery sorry. MrsVet says my back is soresor
Hi Aunties!
Walk. Run. Chase!
dry grassy stuff
Dad and Tara.
Mum behind! Run run run!
Woods and sniffs and paths!
Can bounce on Tara! She gets cross and then plays. Fun!
Bounce on Cato! Mum gets cross. 'Get off Cato's back!!! Bad Jasmine!' :( Boring Cato!
Bounce on Tara again!
Sniffy dogs. Growl. Only wanted to sniff bottom! Crotchety spoilsport!
Me. Scamper. Dad!
TREATS!
Fetch! Fe
Sorry - Photobucket seems to be playing up, like it did for @Summerangel yesterday. Hopefully the links to the pics work, even though I don't seem to be able to embed them.
Mum: Not unexpectedly, Little Miss Sunshine has decided that the Big Bed is far too convenient to pass up. I had to put her down into the pen 3 x last night before she actually stayed there - she just ghosted up each time, waiting til I closed my eyes, then silently appearing. Her little brain cells have obvi
Tara: This woz our last morning. At dawn. Mum got up specially early and saw the sky and had to take a pic. I stayed on the bed and didn't see it, cos I woz on my back sleeping.
And Mum says you want to see this. These are ferns growing out of the wall in our back yard widdle area. She sas you can see how old the wall is and how clever the ferns are. Like ferns could ever be clever! ha!
And then Mum and Dad did all the boring packing, and I checked that D
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:
I have to blog again today, cos Tara is still fussing about the pink booster seat she isn't going to get. Her latest worrit is asking Mum to get her a pink rolling suitcase, for some reason. Girls, eh?
This is when we were on the beach (after the Sausage Place). We have had sausages four days this week. Tara thinks that car hunting is boring, but it seems to mean lots of sausages, so I kind of don't mind.
See how I am braced to meet her charge. Haha!
She
Cato:
We did important DIY stuff today, with both Mum and Dad.
It was VERY exciting.
The washy machine has been making very loud washy machine noises for a while. And Mum finally had The Discussion with Dad about it. Cos the engineer inside the phone said it was too expensive to be worth mending.
So new washy machine is coming tomorrow. And today we all got ready! Me and Mum and Tara did a specially careful poo pickup in the garden cos washymachines come in through the ba
Mum:
Such a long time since Cato, Tara and I have blogged.
I've been busy, and last year kind of went in a blur. I had a rather unfortunate stomach upset that left me under the weather for months, and then... things drifted.
Then I heard about the shootings at the Garlic Festival, and immediately logged on here to see how Marlene was, and suddenly I am missing you all, and your news, terribly!
We have some news at this end too. A new pup. Jasmine.
This is the photo we wer
Sidney:
Why do I have to go first? Silly dogs should go first then clever cats after. I like the shed roof improvements. I spend time on there during sunny weather, surveying my territory. They left the central heating on all night last night, by mistake. It was lovely. I shall organise some pictures for you, so that you can see my territory. I wanted to use the word 'kingdom' instead of 'territory' but Mum refused to type it. She says I need to get a sense of proportion. Which is
Cato:
We had to go early for our walk today, so Dad could come with us before he had to go to work. And we all got in the car and set off. But then we sat for ages in a car queue which was very boring. In the end Mum said 'Right! Change of plan! we won't go to the Lake Park today.' and she turned the car around.
So that meant it was a surprise Foxy walk today.
Mum and Dad said the grass was too soggy for huge human feet, but it was OK for proper Shih Tzu feet. Although we ma
Sidney:
Good morning. Just a gentle reminder that the window is still shut. My bowl is empty. And you are still in bed an hour later than usual.
Tut tut.
Cato:
Remember AGES AGO we had to give Mum some chocs and stuff and in return she was 'contracted' to take us for a walk? Well, that was TODAY. And it was GREAT!!!
This is the board that tells you boring human stuff:
Mum says I have to explain our route. Hubbards Hills is a narrow valley wi
Tara:
Foxy Park! Yay! With MUM AND Dad! Yay! And sun! And pigeons! And fights!!!
Lots of adventures today!
This is the park when we arrived. All huge and sniffy and sunny and gorgeous! With no other dogs around wanting to sniff my bottom bits.
And this is My Bench, only Dad just walked past! No drink or treats!
This is me bouncing on Cato:
And this is Cato wimping out after.
He was all hot and bothered and panty. And Mum told us bo
Dear Miss Missy,
Could me and Tara please beg your kind assistance in checking out for the ghost and babee ghost?
Mum finished work an hour early today and burst into a frenzy of nasty stinky cleaning and stuff. She used the stuff that smells of orange, and the sucky vacuum, and the vinegary window cleaning stuff, and it was awful. She kept moving us, and things, and wiping and fussing and making more of a mess. And every time we started to help (clearing out the paper she dropped,
Tara: We went out to meet Auntie Jane to show her all my PINK, and she loved it! She looked at me, and looked at Mum, and looked at me, and looked at Mum, then she said 'You know, you are a really BAD MUM to have deprived her of pink up until now.' and Mum hung her head and said 'I know.'
Hahahaha! But I didn't have my piggytails in today. We are saving that til they grow a bit, before I wear them in public.
This is me with a stick that Cato wants to steal!
and this is r
Cato: No walk day cos it is raining horrible wet soggy miserable boring rain.
But that is not important. Wot IS important is that we got to sleep ALL NIGHT on the Big Bed.
ALL NIGHT!!!!!
It was fab.
Dad woz out doing work stuff all evening, and we had to go upstairs without him. That is always fun, cos Mum has to get one of us under each arm, with her mobile phone tucked in her bra, and then turn off the light switch with her nose.
Then we go upstairs and wait on the
Mum:
Pics are now working for me. let me know if they aren't working for you. Mind you, haven't a clue how to sort it if there is still a problem!
Cato:
Exciting! we found a new part of the world! And a new beach! It was marvellously sniffy!
We started off with a nice sausage breakfast, with Dad.And then walked along the seafront bit, where we aren't allowed down on the beach. We walked past the nice biscuit place, where we get biscuits and Mum and Dad have borin
Cato: Oooh Tara, look wot I found!
Tara: Wossat? Is that...?
Cato: I think so! Look! There's your stinky bed in it. And your name. In PINK!
Tara: Cor! And look. There's your name in GREEN. And your stinky bed. And... look... there are treats on it.
Cato: Where! Where are MY treats? Gerroff! Go sniff your own treats! Go on! Shoo!
Tara: But.. but... I saw them first!
Mum: Tara love, look what is in your bed - more treats...
Mum:
Missy's Big Cat Hunt was sooo exciting and inspiring , that we chose the beach today and set out to improve our hunting and tracking skills.
We started with a big breakfast in our favourite beach cafe, with sausages all round - to build our strength for the coming trek.
This is when they were watching Dad place the order.
This is when I (Mum) looked out of the window at the pier and the beach.
A very grey day today. Tide out. Overcast sky. No wind.
Tara:
No walk!!!! No pics. No fun. Nothing but boring snoozing on our beds.
Mum didn't even stop working for lunch.
We had to wait until Dad came home from work at 2pm before we got a single game! But he sat on the front room floor and wrestled with the python, and we helped. A lot. And when he got tired we took over, and wrestled with each other. And then we wrestled the panda and the brown bear. The brown bear is particularly dangerous and we had to kill it over and over an
Tara: So Mum has stopped being boring and came with us for a walk. Sausages first:
Then walking on the Prommy thing, cos we aren't allowed on the beach any more. Til it gets cold. But there were lots of interesting sniffs and stuff, and Mum and Dad were UNFAIR cos they kept pulling me away from chips and bits of bun and icecream dribbles and all sorts of good stuff. This is me finding a chip.
And we met Nell. Mum and Dad went all coo-ey and goo-ey and funny and said s
Tara:
We had an early start today! Mum let us up on the Big Bed REALLY EARLY! (Mum: 6.30am) and then we snuggled til late. It was GREAT!!!.
Then we all got up and widdled and stuff and went out for a walk. IT started off really boring, and we thought it would be the same as yesterday but then it got really interesting! Too interesting for me to bounce on Cato much!
This is me looking interested in Truffle Hound.
I will let Cato tell you the rest, cos he likes tellin
Cato:
I can't remember when this was. But it was before we went away. It is hard to remember that far ago! I have to blog this bit, cos Tara can't remember it at all. She is asleep. She has been asleep since we got home. She is snoring.
Anyway, this is before we went away, when we did a beach walk with Mum and Dad.
It was raining when we got there. The red van is an ice cream van. No one was buying icecream in the rain, so he had his windows shut and his radio on, and he
Cato: Sausage breakfast, then a really boring walk along the seafront. We have to wait til the end of September before we get the beach back so we walked by the stinky flowers, wot Mum had to photo for you. Yawn, and then back along the path bit.
It woz a bit hot, and I got thirsty. Sausage makes you thirsty anyway, doesn't it? And Tara climbed on everything, of course.
Mum: Today was a completely different routine. There was a charity fun run (10k) so lots of roads we
