Zac who doesn't sleep at night

Person went to see Zac who DOESN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT.

Zac Wakes his Person up in The Night. So Zac's Person Doesn't Sleep in The Night either.

Zac lives with Issy.

They are both Chocolate Labradors like Marmite.

My dad was a Labrador. Not a Chocolate Labrador. My dad was Pale Labrador.

Here is Zac sleeping in The Afternoon. His head is on Issy.

Zac Sleeps in The Morning. Zac Sleeps in The Afternoon. Zac Sleeps in The Evening.

But Zac DOESN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT.

Every night Zac HUFFS and every night Zac WOOFS.

(The Neighbours don't want to hear Zac HUFFING and WOOFING in the Night Time. The Neighbours DO want to Sleep at Night).

Zac's Person has to STOP Zac HUFFING and WOOFING in The Night. Somehow.

Zac's Person is Very Very Very TIRED.

Person had to wake Marmite up to take her picture. (Milly has to be in all photos).

Marmite Sleeps most of The Morning.

Marmite Sleeps most of The Afternoon.

Marmite Sleeps most of The Evening.

Marmite Sleeps at Night.

Marmite does a LOT of Sleeping.

Soon Zac will Sleep at Night. Soon Zac's Person will Sleep at Night too.

Anyway, I have a New High Place to Sleep.

Marmite has been Eating SNOW again.

Marmite looks like a Spotty Dog. She has a White Nose.

Sweetie Pie Lulu has Spots. Brown Spots. Brown Spots on her legs and Brown Spots on her nose.

Sweetie Pie Lulu is a Very Happy Dog living with Lovely Lottie.

Lottie's Person is teaching her how to be a Very Good Dog. This may take a little bit of time, Person says.

(Person says she is still Working On ME).

It is so COLD our water bucket is frozen.

It is so COLD I sometimes wear my Winter Coat. This is because I only have a thin Coat of my own. I am a THIN Dog.

Marmite has a Thick Coat. She has two layers of Coat. Marmite is NOT a Thin Dog.

Marmite EATS everything she can find.

Person feeds the Blackbirds with Sultanas.

Person has to feed the Blackbirds High Up. She feeds the Blackbirds High Up so that Marmite can't eat the Sultanas.

Sultanas and Grapes are POISONOUS for Dogs.

Anyway, here is a picture of Me, Marmite and Monty the Mont saying HELLO to the Goose.

The Goose Can't Fly like the Blackbirds. The Goose doesn't Eat sultanas.

Poor Goose Never Eats at all.

Bye Bye Sweetie Pie

Today I licked Person's Face.

Wet. Salty.

Today Sweetie Pie went to live with Lovely Lottie.

In her new Always Home.

Anyway, Today is New Year's Eve. Bye Bye to the Noughties.

(Sweetie Pie was a Naughty sometimes).

Bye Bye Sweetie Pie:(

Lovely Lottie

Sweetie Pie may go to live with Lovely Lottie soon.

Sweetie Pie's New Persons may call her Lulu.

Anyway, It's Christmas in two days' time.

(That's something to do with a Baby Person Born in a Manger).

I was a Baby Dog Born in Rescue Kennels.

And here is a picture of Lovely Lottie

Fostering Beryl

We are Fostering BERYL.

(We are Not Good at Fostering).

Fostering means for a SHORT WHILE. Not for ALWAYS.

If Person was Good at Fostering there would be No Milly. If Person was Good at Fostering there would be NO ME!

There would only be Monty the Mont and Marmite.

Because Person is not Good at Fostering we are here for ALWAYS.

Beryl is an English Springer Spaniel and she's just Seven months Old.

I heard Person calling her Sweetie Pie.

Here is Sweetie Pie talking to Milly.

And here she is with me in the SNOW.

Sweetie Pie is Very Playful. Sweetie Pie SPRINGS (because she is a Springer).

I can Spring too. I have Sprung onto my Chair in our Dog Den.

Person went to visit Lincolnshire Dog Lady Sue. She lives with Lincolnshire Horse Man Garry.

And Herbie.

Here is Herbie drinking water with a Big Horse.

Herbie is Very Good at Coming Back when Called.

Person went to see Lottie because Lottie is NOT Very Good at Coming Back when Called.

Here is Lottie with Cleo.

Person went to see a Golden Retriever who is 9 months old. Another Lottie!

Goldie Lottie is Not Very Good at Coming Back when Called either.

(Sweetie Pie might one day go and live with Lottie).

Springers SPRING. Retrievers RETRIEVE. German Shepherds SHEPHERD.

And I.......LURCH?

Top Dog

Monty the Mont stands over Silly Milly. He says I AM TOP DOG.

Monty the Mont tries standing over ME sometimes.

Huh

I JUMP ON HIM.

I am TOP DOG really - not Monty the Mont.

(I let Person think she's TOP DOG! Ha ha. I humour her).

When Milly and I play NOISY PLAY Monty gets Worried.

Monty doesn't like CONFLICT. He barks at us. He stands between us.

Me - well I LOVE CONFLICT with Silly Milly. I Love Conflict with Monty the Mont. Marmite is too lazy.

Conflict with Milly is difficult when Person is around. Conflict with Monty the Mont is difficult when Person is around.

This is because Person Breaks Up Conflict.

Person stands Very Still and Silent. She WAITS for us to stop. She waits and she waits.

UH-OH.

Or she keeps walking backwards and forwards between us till we just give up.

Person is VERY PATIENT.

Anyway, Person went to see a dog called Millie. Yes, ANOTHER Milly.

Millie is a Beagle. Once, before her Persons rescued her, Millie lived in a pack of Hunting Hounds.

Then she got lost or stolen.

So now Millie was an Only Dog.

While her Persons were out at work each day she was so Unhappy she HOWLED and HOWLED. She broke things. She hurt herself. She toiletted indoors.

The vet gave her some Happy Pills.

My Person showed Millie's Persons how to slowly to get her ok with being all alone.

Slowly, slowly, slowly Millie got better. Slowly slowly the vet the cut down the Happy Pills.

THEN THEY GOT DILLLON!

Dillon is five months old. Dillon is Very Playful.

Sometimes Dillon and Millie do a little bit of Conflict.

Dillon and Millie LOVE each other.

Here are some more Happy Dogs.

One of them is Jester who writes on my Message Board.

Which one is Jester?

Jester is the one in the Middle.

I should be there too. We could play Chase. We could CONFLICT. Even FIVE Paterdales would never catch ME.

I am a SPEED HOUND.

Silly Season

Silly Milly is being Very Silly. Milly is In SEASON.

It is Milly's SILLY SEASON.

Last time it was Spring. This time it is Autumn.

Milly Prances around me. She Paws me. She Barks at me. She Wriggles her Bum at me.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Person says that's because I have No Balls.

No Balls? There are two Yellow Tennis Balls and one Red Rubber Ball in the box with our Old Bones.

Anyway, I'm glad she doesn't have Summer and Winter as well. Spring and Autumn is quite enough, thank you.

Marmite can't have a Silly Season. Marmite has had The Operation. (I hope Milly soon has The Operation also).

Anyway, I love Monty the Mont best of all.


Every evening He-Person says Where's that Flaming Chocolate Dog?

Marmite is outside, in the dark, hoovering up the bird seed.

Person went to see a Portuguese Potengo on Sunday.

Here he is. His name is Tom.

Tom barks when he is Sad or Scared when his Persons go out and leave him by himself.

Then Person went to see Barkly Bear.

Barkly Bear is a Labradoodle and he is Petrified of Traffic.

His Tail goes Between his Legs; he Licks his Lips.

Person said Don't take him near Traffic for now. Not until he is ready.

Here is Barkly Bear looking a little Worried.

Anyway, here I am trying to get Monty the Mont to PLAY.
