Today

 An old, wise dog seeks the shade on a sunny day. When I was younger I just sat in the sun and suffered.

A siesta on the sofa. That plaster is a nuisance. I take them off so fast that they go through a pack a day.

Why am I wearing a "bra"?

That nasty tumour I have is acting up again. It is pills for breakfast and dinner for me these days, and they keep trying to dress my abscess with plasters - which I have become quite an expert at tearing off immediately. This is the latest: A specially designed "bra" that "mom"  has knitted for me. It will be fun to tear that up.

I found a bit of shade

When the sun is a bit hot on my black coat I look for shade. On top of the flowers? Well, it IS cool here.

OOps!

Why have they tied a scarf around my belly? Well, I have this growth in one of my mammaries, and it has become infected again. There have pink pills in my dinner lately, not that I notice, I swallow everything they put in by bowl, and there has been a lot of fuss about keeping my underside clean. All part of being an old dog, I suppose.

Good Morning!

 

This is me just coming back from my early morning sniff around. Now I would like to have a good drink of cold water and a treat, please.

Too hot for a black dog

There have been too many hot and sunny days. Fortunately we know of a little stream nearby where a dog can cool down. We have been going there a lot.

Waiting for the postman

I like to sit in front of our house, right at the curb, and watch all the comings and goings in the street. Especially in the mornings, when I can be the first to see the postman approacing, and get to bark and growl a bit before they come running to rescue him.

Too hot

It is not even summer yet, but I find it too warm these days. I am a cold weather dog.

Old Dog Walking

Just to tell you that I am still around. Walking is not as easy as it used to be, but I do like my regular outings, even if it is only for a sniff. My main passion in life has not diminished with age. Food.  I always know when and where there might be a treat to be had, and I start whining for my meals half an hour before they are due.

First swim of the year

Suddenly it is warm again, and we all went for a little woodland walk, where it is cool and there is a stream for a dog to have a swim.

I got my fancy new collar wet. So what!

I like this place. I think mr Fox may live around here.
