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.

Old dog chases cat

Early this morning, as we came out of the back door, I saw the neighbours' cat lurking under a hedge, and up to no good as usual. I chased it away, but that was all I could manage. My walk had to be cut short, and I have spent the rest of the morning resting.

My days

Sunday afternoon. Did I hear someone say something about "going" ???  That is a word I understand well. I also know the difference between "car"  (nice, we are going somewhere) and "cat" (grrrrrrr), and "is Tess hungry?" is the best of all, because that means it is dinner time.







After my dinner I always feel playful.
