'The Time' had not come after all

No, this isn't Monty the Mont!

This is Jack. (Jack who opens doors).

Jack is a Calm Happy Dog at home.

Jack is not a Calm Happy Dog when out on Walks.

He Pulls and Pulls. He Goes Crazy when he sees Other Dogs.

The Dog Trainer said Jack was a Lost Cause.

But Person says in time Jack is not a Lost Cause at all.

Jack will become a Calm Happy Dog out on Walks, just like he is at home.

Because he Wants to. Not because he is Trained to.

And this is Toby.

Toby is scared of little Abi who has just started walking.

Here am I playing tug with Little Pickle and Milly.

Pickle runs very fast. He leaps right over furniture. He hides where I can't reach him.

You Can't Catch Me.

I BARK.

Person says Go Out and Do That Somewhere Else.

Anyway, Poor Marmite went to the Vet on Monday.

THE TIME had Come. Or so Persons thought.

But in the waiting room Marmite said Hello with a Staffie and a Golden Retriever.

In the Vet's room Marmite Wagged her Tail for the Vet.

So THE TIME had Not Come after all.

The Vet gave Marmite an injection. The Vet put pills down her throat.

THE TIME will Come another day.

Anyway, I think Little Pickle is a Lost Cause.

He is Somewhere Else for a while.

So THE TIME has Come for me to have a Rest.

Ears

This is Jack. Jack has Very Big Ears for a Little Dog.

Jack was Peeing on the carpet. Jack was Peeing in the kitchen at night. Jack was Peeing in his bed. Jack was Peeing up the cupboards.

Jack Peed a message on Persons' work bag.

Person put her work bag in the washing machine.

Person said she didn't want me, or Little Pickle, or Monty the Mont to start using her work bag as a message board.

Now Person has just heard! Jack hasn't Peed Indoors once since she saw him!

Little Pickle has STRAGGLY Spaniel Ears.

Marmite has FLOPPY Sleepy Labrador Ears. And so does Monty the Mont.

My Ears are FLOPPY.

But I am a Sight Hound. I am also a HEARING Hound.

I MISS NOTHING.

Milly has WIDE AWAKE Ears. Milly is ALERT.

Person went to see Cocoa last week. Cocoa has FLOPPY Labrador Ears like Marmite and Monty the Mont.

Cocoa's Labrador Ears are not SLEEPY Ears. Cocoa's Ears are WORRIED Ears.

Cocoa is Anxious.

Cocoa is Scared of Shiny Floors.

Now Cocoa is learning to be more CONFIDENT.

Then Person went to see Odie.

Odie has FLOPPY Labrador Ears also. Odie's Ears are BOUNCY Ears.

Odie's Ears FLOP Up FLOP Down FLOP Up FLOP Down as Odie JUMPS about.

Odie is now going to learn to BE CALM.

Odie is now learning to stop Jumping About.

Our Marmite is a Chocolate Labrador. Marmite is Lazy.

Poor Marmite has a Heart Condition.

And here is Hamish, with Brora.

Hamish is 6 and a half months old. Little Pickle is 6 and a half months old.

Hamish is a Border Collie.

Whenever a Person gets up or moves, Hamish runs about frantically searching the walls and ceiling for SHADOWS to CHASE.

Before Christmas Hamish had nearly stopped CHASING SHADOWS altogether.

Then... over Christmas.... lots of Persons came to his house.

It was Very Exciting for Hamish. It was Very Stressful for Hamish.

Then someone played the Chasing Reflections game with him.

So now Hamish is CHASING SHADOWS again.

(He should stop again soon because his Persons know what to do now).

Anyway, I am a MEERKAT.

Schnauzers and Spaniels

Here are Rosie and Rowly in their New Home!


Person came home smelling of SPANIEL again last week.

Max is a Cocker Spaniel. Max is much BIGGER than Little Pickle.

Just occasionally Max Gets CROSS.

Max' Persons and Max' Young Persons are learning to Understand Max.

Then Max won't need to Get CROSS any more.

And this is Molly.

Molly is Nine Months Old.

Molly is a WORRIED Dog.

Molly Runs Away from her He-Person.

He is Sad because he Loves Molly.

Molly's He-Person is learning to Understand Molly.

Yesterday Molly went and sat beside him. He stayed Very Still.

Anyway, Pickle is not a Worried Dog.

.....HE SHOULD BE.

I sometimes GET CROSS with Little Pickle.

I am sometimes a WORRIED Dog.

I am WORRIED by Little Pickle. Monty the Mont is WORRIED by Little Pickle.

Here he comes again...

He JUMPS all over us. He JUMPS at our faces.

Person should learn to Understood ME. She would then learn I like Meaty Bones.

Anyway, here is Funny Bella in the SNOW.

More Puppies

This week Person went to help TWO Puppies.

TWO!

This is Conker.

Conker is Sixteen Weeks Old.

Conker is a Labradoodle and Conker is SCARED.

Conker is Scared of PERSONS. Conker is Scared of SUDDEN.

And this is Bella.

Bella is Five Months Old.

Bella is a mix of Beardie and German Shepherd, and Bella is Scared of....

NOTHING.

And this is Little Pickle.

Little Pickle Wrecks Tennis Balls.

Little Pickle is sometimes Scared of ME when I am Very Cross with him.

He lies on his back. Wriggles. Waggy Waggy Tail. Whimpers.

But still Little Pickle Doesn't Learn.

Little Pickle Doesn't Know when ENOUGH is ENOUGH.

ONE Puppy is Quite Enough for ME. ONE Puppy is Quite Enough for Milly, And for Monty the Mont. And One Puppy is Quite Enough for Poor Marmite.

Anyway, Plumber Person came Last Week.

We watched him Drain the System.

Here is Daze who wrote to me on my Blog.

Daze can't write to me any more. She had a long happy life.

And here is Marmite. Marmite eats lots of PILLS. Marmite feels a Little Better for now.

Marmite's Heart goes Flutter Flutter Beat Flutter. (My Heart goes Beat Beat Beat Beat).

Person says Silly Milly is a FLOOZY.

Milly is in Season. Autumn. (It was Spring last time).

I am Tired. Monty the Mont is Tired.

I Try and I Try to DO IT. Monty the Mont Tries and he Tries to DO IT.

But we can't DO IT because we have BEEN DONE.

(Little Pickle Jumps About and Gets in the Way).

Marmite is not a FLOOZY. Marmite has BEEN DONE too.

Here is Marmite with Me, Monty, Milly, Pip, Pickle and Person.

(Little Pickle won't get his little Treat while he is Jumping Up).

Anyway, I hope Little Pickle is DONE when he gets bigger.

Person says if Little Pickle is NOT DONE and if Little Pickle DOES IT with Milly they will make Baby Dogs.

OH NO.

Poor Marmite.

Marmite doesn't feel well.

Poor Marmite CRIES. Poor Marmite WON'T EAT.

Marmite has been to the Vet.

The Vet put a Big Pink Pill Right Down her Throat.

Person tried putting a Big Pink Pill Right Down Marmite's throat.

Marmite SPAT it Out.

Tomorrow Poor Marmite goes to the Vet again.

Person must take a Urine Sample. Difficult, she says.

Me, I leave Urine Samples all over the place. So does Monty the Mont.

When Little Pickle does a Tiddle Tiddle Urine Sample Person gives him a Treat!

Little Pickle DUG a HOLE in his Soft Bed.

Now Pickle has a Tough Plastic Bed.

Little Pickle keeps his RUBBISH and TOYS in his bed.

Sometimes Little Pickle Cuddles up to Person.

Milly as taught Little Pickle how to use the Dog Flap.

Anyway, why doesn't Person give ME a Treat when I do a Urine Sample?

Today Little Pickle is 14 Weeks Old.

When Little Pickle is not Asleep, Little Pickle is UP TO SOMETHING.

Person says Keep Your Eye on Pickle, Pip. Person says Keep Your Eye on Pickle, Monty.


Keep One of My Eyes on Little Pickle? I don't thinks so!

Marmite Takes No Notice of Pickle.

Milly Plays with him. So do I. Sometimes.

Sometimes when Little Pickle RUNS VERY FAST I just have to CHASE him

Person calls me away. Today she gives me a Carrot.

Milly Teaches Pickle Tugging and Chasing and Digging Holes.

Little Pickle Jumps at Milly's Face.

Sometimes Milly GRUMBLES at him.

But Little Pickle Won't Stop. He goes on and on until Milly gets VERY CROSS.

Milly puts her Big Mouth around Pickle's Little Body and HOLDS HIM STILL.

Little Pickle Lies on his Back. Little Pickle WAITS.

Little Pickle is S O R R Y.


But as soon as Milly lets him go, Little Pickle is Jumping up at her Face again.

So Person calls Milly to her and gives her a Carrot.

And Person gives Little Pickle his Ball on a Rope.

Yesterday Person put Little Pickle in the Puppy Pen so he would Learn GOOD MANNERS while we are all Eating.

That DID NOT WORK.

Anyway, Little Pickle's Blue Ball is now MY Blue Ball.
