Tess Two-Dinners

Yesterday mom gave me my dinner, and then went upstairs for a rest. Dad did not know she had fed me, so he also gave me a dinner. I enjoyed that very much, but now they call me "Tess Two-Dinners."

Still going strong

A year ago today I was in the animal hospital, having an operation. I do not remember it, but mom and dad do. They never dared hope that I would still be around today. But here I am, out for a stroll this afternoon.

Treats

When I was a pup and being toilet trained, treats were given to me when I performed. Later mom stopped taking treats in her pocket on walks, because she said I forgot all about walking and only thought about the treats. Now, with me getting old and reluctant to go for walks, she has started taking treats with her again. And I remember my puppyhood. Every time I "go to the toilet" I run up to her for my reward.

Hi everyone!

This is me, in the garden. The sun feels good, and if it gets too hot, I find a place in the shade. I also like rainy days, because then I get rubbed with my towel when we get in from our walk. I just LOVE being rubbed.

The DIY store carpark

There are interesting smells everywhere. I can smell a rat.

Better get myself back to our car.

This is it. This is our car.

Let me in!

I get lifted into the car these days. My jumping days are over.

I wake up early, and moan until mom gives up and gets dressed. I want my breakfast and my little walk. So what is it is only 5am. This photo was taken 15 min ago. Mom used her mobile phone camera, and transferred the photo to her wireless laptop via bluetooth. She may be getting a little old and worn out, but she still loves her gadgets.

This is me today. Sitting in the sun and waiting for my next meal. Food is extremely important to me.

Message from Tess

Hello everyone. I am still around. Not getting any younger, but enjoying life. I still get my three (mini) walks every day, and really like accompanying mom and dad when they go somewhere in the car, even if it is only to the shops. There are interesting smells everywhere. The summer is a nice, warm one, which is good for my sore joints, and I spend a lot of time in the garden. When it is very hot I move into the shade under a shrub. There will be new pictures soon.

Why are my teeth so big???

Scary?

It is me - upside down!

Like this. Not scary at all. Mom just turned the photo around for fun.

In the Wood

Today was a warm day and I felt very hot sitting in our garden. In the afternoon we went for a little walk in the wood, where it is nice and cool.
