After having three dogs under my feet whilst I have been at home working for the past few days I decided a partial doggie break was in order. I was off down from the mountain working today and decided to just take the puppy Jet with me and leave the other two girls at home. Daisy (the good) is to be trusted as she is such a well behaved dog and the worst she has ever done is nab a shoe and sleept next to it, never any damage done. Faye (the bad) on the other hand has had […]
My Dogs Are Taking Advantage
We all drove home late yesterday with 50 litres of freshly pressed Olive Olive Oil in the boot. Not bad from 300 KG of Olives. Anyway it was dark and cold when we got home so I stumbled around outside loading up on wood in a big wicker basket to take inside. Holding a torch and a big pile of wood is not the easiest and needless to say I dropped a big log of super hard Almond wood on my big toe. I let the log know how I felt and hobbled inside and made sure it got […]
Doggie Conversations……
“Jet……Jet……..JET!” “What?” “Do you really think you should be doing that?” “What (gulp, munch, chew,gulp) do you mean?” “Eating the shouty mans bed like that” “Why not, he loves it” “He loves it?” “Yeah, ‘course he does” “I don’t think so” “He does, haven’t you noticed?” “Noticed what?” “Well whenever one of us chews something he jumps up and down and starts running around singing” “Are you sure he’s singing, I always thought he was shouting?” “Nah he loves it” “Well, i’m off downstairs before he wakes up, just in case you got it wrong ikkle pupster” “Yeah whatever, […]
A Good Dog Day………………………………….until.
The day was planned. I was heading to the coast with all three monsters as I would be out for a long time and wanted to keep the house standing. I was heading down from the mountain to my Mums house. She lives somewhere sensible near to the ocean and with nice easy access. We on the other hand live up a Catalan mountain at 500m along a 2 KM dirt track only accessible with a 4X4. We all got in the car and as I am on a roll with car problems of late it wouldn’t start. I […]
Midnight Reflections
After starting to, and failing to finish watching a John Travelodge (that’s right isn’t it?) film about fighting fires and being macho I decided my time would be better spent having a peaceful read in bed with a substantial glasss of wine and just chill out. Ahhh… Moments like this. Relaxing and being comfortable and warm. The big girls were downstairs and Jet the puppy was snuggled on the bed. Well, for a few minutes, until she remembered that there was still a “looky likey” in the mirror in the dressing room. My peace was somewhat shattered as this […]
There’s A Dog In The Oven……..
or………. Why My Puppy Has A Lot To Learn. or………..maybe my dogs stupid! Well it all started to kick off last night as Jet the wonder dog learnt something new. It seems she has never seen or noticed a reflection before but she has been making up for it non-stop ever since. Yes I have a headache. Jet is convinced there is a dog in the oven! She keeps running back to it and barking at her reflection like the loon that she is. I don’t know what she thinks a puppy that looks like her is doing in […]
Hello, My Mouth Is Bigger Than Your Head
Little puppy Jet doesn’t seem to be bothered by the fact that the big girls can fit her head in their mouth! The dogs scared of very little! She is more than happy to come tearing up to them and jump all over them wiggling like a loon only to have her little face swallowed into the gaping hole that is Faye or Daisies mouth only to emerge covered in saliva and more than willing to give it another go. One of the joys of being a dog………..I guess!!!!!!!
