3D Dude - it's the way to go!

Whoa man, you're larger than life this morning. If a dog didn't know better he might think he could stretch out a paw and touch you.

Comfort

is a dog on "his" couch.

Prospecting for food

Boy it's hot in this fur coat

Thank goodness for a bit of a breeze or I'd be boiling in my own fur. Can't wait to get home to the a/c and my bowl of cool water. Oh, hang on, it wasn't that long ago I was looking forward to my walk.
Woof, woof ya can't please all the dogs all the time.

Memorial Park

Ted and Little Ted walked me to Memorial Park today; well Little Ted rode his bike while his dad walked beside me.
I hope they do this more often cos it beats traveling in the crate on the pickup bed - woof, woof!

Poor Little Ted

Woof, I'm looking after master Little Ted as he has come home early from his weekend sleep over because he threw up.
Poor wee soul was so excited about his weekend and now he's back home feeling miserable and watching TV.
I wanted to lick him better cos he's one of my puppies but Ted told me that might not be a good thing right now.

A day of mixed emotions in the Ted family

Woof, Dr Johnson here with the sad news that Miss Molly passed away this morning. She had been going downhill for some time, losing weight and becoming more and more disoriented. So with a heavy heart but a clear conscience Ted agreed to have High Country's Lady Maggie ( Maggie to me as Miss Molly was her "stage name") put to sleep. She was in her fifteenth year and had obviously been a good dog in her younger years.

We took her into our family at the age of 12 years and she had some fun in her old age with us. Sometimes we wished she wasn't here but mostly we enjoyed her company and were glad to help her see out her final years in a happy and safe environment.

Little Ted adopted Maggie right away and became her best friend; they played together every day and he would regularly seek her out just to give her a cuddle.

He says he will miss her but he is 7 years old and has already asked if he can have a replacement puppy!

No disrespect Maggie, I know he loved you dearly.

So Maggie spent her last years with the Ted family at home, in the pool, at the beach, being loved by Ted and Little Ted and tolerated by me (Dr Johnson) and the two cat people of the household. Not a bad way to spend your twilight years.

And that's all I'm going to say on the subject.

Saturday's sorry story

There has been lots of whining and complaining today; Ted went out to breakfast without the puppies and when they woke up Mrs Ted told them to clean their kennels.
Well woof, woof, the wailing began.
When Ted got home, with some delicious smelling bags from the Donut Palace, both puppies were hiding in their kennels having not even started to clean them up.
It's 4 o'clock now and Little Ted, who has embraced the notion that good things may come from compliance with parental instructions, has indeed tidied his room and has promised to keep it tidy. Hmm, I've heard that one before but you never know, this may be the breakthrough event.
Eddie on the other hand has spent all day protesting loudly, using the word "can't" and the phrase "it's too hard" and has packed her bag and left home once already. Her kennel still resembles a bomb site.
Even I despair as my paws get sore every time I go into her kennel 'cos of all the sharp toys lying on the floor!

I thought no-one was looking

This is the life; I usually prefer snuggling up with Little Ted on the bed but he closed his door last night and I found this comfy sofa just lying empty at the side of the room!
