SUNDAY 14th Feb: Auntie Jane Day!


Crinkly

1,154 views

Sidney:    2nd day of window open all day.  And now my foot hurts.  Pork for dinner.  And Mum says I have to stay in today to 'rest' it.  I live in a Nanny State.  But I left a pork chop bone on the top stair this morning.  I was watching through the bannisters.   She nearly trod on it in her bare feet.    Another Machiavellian plan foiled by human luck.  Humph.

 

Tara:     Proper walk today!  With lovely Auntee Jane.

This is us waiting in the car for her to appear!

I am tall enough to be able to watch her front door, but short-arses have to sit squinting at the sun.  Hahahaha!

It was ace fun when Arntie Jane appeared.  I scrambled through the netting, cos I am fit and bouncy and strong.

(Note by Mum: NEVER let Dad put the netting back up, unless he is closely supervised!)

So I was jigging about in the back of the car, and managed to lick Arnty's ear!  Then Mum got cross, and went round to the back of the car, and opened the boot (Mum: that is 'trunk' to some of you) and I was so excited that I hopped out onto Auntee's drive, and Mum got cross all over again!  And I ran about sniffing and trying to go in the house to see Uncle N, until Mum gave Goody Four Paws Cato a treat, sitting in the boot of the car, and I rushed over to get one too - and Mum grabbed me.

I knew I am NEVER NEVER NEVER allowed to jump out of the boot of the car. 

But I kinda forgot.

 

Mum: Note to self - re-fix the netting, PROPERLY today.  And don't ever open the dratted boot until both dogs are sitting calmly.  OR put the crates back in.  Very cross.  Thank heavens it happened on Jane's private drive, not a road. 

 

Cato:

When we finally got to the park, it was GORGEOUS.  Sunny and very cold, and everything was sniffy and beautiful.  We met lots of dogs today, all of them nice, and about half of them were little.  We met Bruno the cocker spaniel.  He has been on a diet and looks MUCH better.  And Benji the Lhasa Apso, who doesn't get enough play, or walks, and is slightly crazy.  He is sort of permanently hysterically desperate to play with us, which frightens Tara. :(  And we met Belle, the 12 week old King Charles.  She is soooo sweet.  She has a pink harness and was incredibly waggy and playful.  Hope we see her again.  And then there were about 5 shih tzsus, most of them gold and white, and Jack who is much nicer now he has grown up a bit.  Unfortunately most of them were on leads, so we couldn't play properly.

Sniff!:

Tara and Aunty Jane on a bench looking down on me.  Mum said I could sit on her, if I liked, but I prefer to stay on the ground and greet people and dogs as they walk past:

Tree bark and tree bark.  Yawn:

Edited to add (cos forgot to say):

Cato organised a Valentine's Day card, for his Dad.

Tara can't yet write properly (and couldn't see the point of 'mushy stuff'), so Cato signed it for both of them

I must say, I was delighted when Cato found that card.  It is a Moonpig.com one, so ordered (and personalised) online, and arriving through the post.  Ideal for someone who doesn't get out much on their own (cough!) :roflmao:

Ahh Sidney I'm sorry to hear your paw is sore again. Sounds like you really need to see your Kingdom in pieces not all in one day sweetie, it's far too big! Maybe you can just watch over it for a few days and plot what you'll do next! :rodney:

Tara sweetie you really scared everyone jumping out of the car like that! I think you may be too brave!! ;) 

Cato you da man!! What a super Valentine's Day card you did, Love it!! Oh and you need to talk to that Sumo guy and find out his secret, I didn't think Tara was submissive to Anyone! :hysterical:

:coffee: What a wonderful day for a walk.

Tara,

I know the excitement you get when the car stops and you THINK it is time to get out and explore. The same happens here but my Mom and Dad have us harnessed so we can't jump out. I did that once and because I was bad we ALL are harnessed........so I got stink eye from my siblings for a bite after that. I could not help myself I was excited and wanted to jump out and get the party going. So try and behave cause your Mum only has your best interest at heart..............

Harnesses are a great idea.  May well follow it up!

She is such a silly widget.  Normally, I give the WAIT command before I open the boot, and they are very good.  But of course, with her dancing about the back seat, being over excited with Auntie Jane, and stuff, I forgot to say WAIT .  My bad.

Seriously thinking about reinstalling the crates in the car.  We took them out because they are a nightmare to remove, but will have a think...
