Still Sick

I didn't do Person Training yesterday. Monty the Mont did Training and so did Marmite, but I had to go back to the car.

I was in the Top Class for the first time. This isn't because I am better than Marmite, it's because He-Person who is Marmite's Handler at Person Training can't do the Top Class. He has to do something called Going to Work.

In the Top Class I said Hello to some of the Dogs because I hadn't met them before. Then I started to walk to Heel. Then Linsey-Trainer-Person said 'Tell your Dog to SIT. I heard her so I SAT (my-Person-Handler then said SIT but I was already Sitting). Then she said 'Forward' and I walked to Heel again. Then I stopped. Then I was Sick. On the Floor. It was some Grass that I had been eating. So Person took me back to the car.

She said it wasn't a very good start in the Top Class.

Person is going away this weekend on the Canine Communication course to UNDERSTAND DOGS. I don't want her to GO AWAY. I don't really want her to UNDERSTAND DOGS.

So perhaps if I keep eating Grass and if I don't eat my food and if Grass makes me Sick then Person will Stay at Home.

Here is a picture of our Field. You can see the steps leading up to our garden. You can see the Old Station House behind and the window is where Artist and Sue-Person, our Neighbours From Heaven live. On the left is where Guy-Person who didn't get burnt on Bonfire Night lives.

You can just see where I live with Monty the Mont and Marmite, behind the wall.

Not very Well

I Wasn't Very Well last night. My tummy sounded like the Dishwasher.

I asked to go OUT by making my little sad noise, and then I asked to come IN and then I asked to go OUT and then I asked to come IN. In the end Person just left the door open all night.

Person thinks I ate too many Figs off the Fig Tree. But I didn't eat as many as Marmite and she is OK. I didn't eat my Breakfast this morning. I just went back to bed.

It is Person Training today. Perhaps I shall stay at home.

Understanding Dogs

Here I am at the end of another Hard Day.

I fear I shan't be allowed On the Sofa for much longer. This is because of Person's Canine Communication Course next weekend and Jan Fennell will teach her to UNDERSTAND DOGS.

I know she will learn that Dogs are really WOLVES and that Dogs are not Persons. Persons go on Sofas. Wolves stay on the Floor or in their Beds.

Canine Communication says we are Happier Dogs if we Know Our PLACE.

But I AM a Happy Dog. I'm a VERY Happy Dog - especially when I am Sleeping on Person on the Sofa. I know my PLACE is on the Sofa. Monty the Mont is a Happy Dog too (when he's not On the Defensive). Marmite is a Very Happy Dog.

I'm especially Happy when I am lying on Person on the Sofa. I'm not quite so Happy about Person UNDERSTANDING DOGS though.

Tom Tom

Person has Tom Tom. That's why she didn't get lost when she went to Walk on Fire on Bonfire Night. Tom Tom told her Where To Go. (She won't let He-Person tell her Where to Go). Tom Tom is always Very Patient and always Very Polite and always Very Kind. Tom Tom is always CORRECT. Tom Tom never gets Cross if Person goes wrong.

Sue-Person-Neighbour-From-Heaven's Third Born is called Tom. When he was little she called him Tom Tom. Perhaps she still calls him Tom Tom. I wonder if her Tom Tom tells Sue-Person Where to Go?

Persons didn't call me Pip Pip when I was little. Person only calls PIP PIP PIP PIP PIP when she wants me to COME very quickly. You will like to see another picture of me when I was little.

My Person's Tom Tom sounds like a He-Person. But 'it' can also sound like a She-Person! Confusing. Dogs are either DOGS or BITCHES. Tom Tom may be a Cross Dresser but he's not a Cross Navigator. Tom Tom's a very Patient Navigator and there are never any Arguments with Tom Tom navigating.

Person is going to Gainsborough to learn Canine Communication soon. Marmite can teach her to Grimble, Monty the Mont can teach her to Bark and I can teach her to make Little Sad Noises. She will take Tom Tom to show her Where to Go and Tom Tom will look after her. She won't need me or Monty the Mont or Marmite to look after her.

I hope she doesn't learn to Understand us too well.

Bonfire Night and Walking on Fire

Person was OUT all day yesterday. She came back Very Late.

Here I am with Monty the Mont under Person's desk this morning. Person must have missed me because she's let me have my tennis ball and we're Not Allowed Toys in the House.

It is BONFIRE NIGHT and Persons Burn GUYS on Bonfires.

She-Person WALKED on FIRE last night. No - really.

I am FRIGHTENED of FIRE.

Last night there was FLASHING and WHIZZING and BANGING an BURNING smells all around. I didn't like it much. Monty the Mont didn't like it at all. Marmite just slept on the sofa all the time next to He-Person who looked after us. Person-Next-Door-Other-Side is called GUY but they didn't Burn him because I saw him this morning.

400 years ago (that's 2,800 years in Dog Years), a Guy Fawkes Person was Hanged, Drawn and Quartered. His head was placed on a Spike on London Bridge. He was never Burnt on a Bonfire though. Burning might be quicker than being Hanged Drawn and Quartered and your head placed on a Spike.

Person says the FIRE WALK was like a long barbeque of Hot Coals. I wouldn't walk over a long barbeque of Hot Coals. Cooked Dog - NO thank you. Anyway, Person didn't become Cooked Person because she's Home now. Her feet didn't feel anything at all. WEIRD.

She-Person going OUT

Tomorrow She-Person is going OUT again All Day and All Evening. (She is Going OUT a lot just now).

He-Person will be here.

When I am Biting Marmite's Ear He-Person SHOUTS at me from a Long Way Away PACK IT IN. I pretend I don't hear him. He SHOUTS at all of us from a Long Way Away when we BARK at Dogs going past the end of our Field. HEY, PACK IT IN! PIP? MARMITE? MONTY? PACK IT IN. He always SHOUTS at me first because Everything is always My Fault. Anyway, that's what he thinks. He always SHOUTS at Monty the Mont last, because Monty is his Favourite. There might be a lot of SHOUTING tomorrow when She-Person is OUT.

She-Person isn't doing CANINE COMMUNICATION tomorrow. She is WALKING ON FIRE instead. Perhaps. I couldn't Walk, Run, Chase and Hunt with Burnt Feet. Person would have to carry me. I would need to go to the Vet, like I did when I had my Wound. Who will carry Person if she has Burnt Feet?





Here I am, trying to make Monty the Mont PLAY with me.

Pip the Movie - 1

Yesterday we had some Bad News. There is no Training today. Linsey-Trainer-Person is Coughing and BARKING. Linsey can Stop Dogs Barking so she should be able to Stop herself from Barking too.

This means I won't be seeing Minto.

My She-Person was OUT a lot yesterday. She went Out to Lunch with Joy-Person, then she went OUT to do Jobs for Granny-Person. She was OUT All Evening at a MEETING. When she Came Home she discovered we had been Playing INSIDE and we are only allowed to Play OUTSIDE. The rugs were messed up. He-Person had fallen asleep and even our PLAYING didn't wake him.

She-Person's MEETING was about Video Emails. Person says these Video Emails are Perfect for me because I can't Read or Write. I can SEE and HEAR. I am a SIGHT HOUND with Very Good HEARING.

I can't TALK but I can BARK. So can Monty The Mont and so can Marmite. We BARK at the black and white CAT.

I don't understand Emails. I certainly don't understand Video Emails. It's very CONFUSING when I hear us BARKING inside the computer box. Perhaps She-Person will Train us about Video Emails with TREATS.

Anyway, here is a special VIDEO EMAIL of ME! I am with Monty the Mont and Marmite and we are BARKING at the black and white Cat who is sitting STARING at us in the trees. Then I am in my favourite LOOK-OUT place.
