Traveler got a new toy, a plush fox, and just for fun I put it under his blanket. He dug it out, dropped it on top of the blanket and looked expectantly at me. So I did it again. And again. He loved digging around in the blanket and finding the fox! So I expanded the game. Had him wait in one room and put the fox in another room. He could see where I put it. Then I told him to 'find the fox,' which he did. Next I put it just a little bit out of his sight-line. Then he was finding the fox…

Feeling a bit sorry for myself today. Had a visit to the vets. Mum tricked me this morning, we had our usual walk and came home for breakfast. Mum then put her coat back on and picked up my lead. Wow, I thought two walks in a morning snd off we went. As we walked down the road, I thought, we going a different way, and then horrors of horrors, we turn up at the vets door. Why are we going here I thought, I've been OK. Anyway I went in and the vet was actually quite a nice man and made an…

OWWIEEE Guys! I just had my second rotator cuff/labrum surgery done last Fri. It hurts so much more than the other one I had done six years ago. I'm older and dr. said joint just about worn out. He showed me all these pretty pictures of his work (he was so proud of himself) and I must have looked 1/2 dazed (yes, I did have to succomb to hydrocordone) so he said, basically you had bone removed, spurs removed and a shave and a haircut!! This is first time i've typed so forgive…

Wow, Phoebe what is that white stuff everywhere? Did you burst the pillows? Had another fun day today, although it was raining but the puddles are great.

Mum said that she was fed up with the wet weather, but I quite like it, especially when mum dries me with the towel, mmmmmm feels great.

I didn't get to see Winston today mum and I went out quite early and I know that Winston likes a lie in at the weekend, such a lightweight - the longer you're awake the more fun you…

Rua here! Momma thinks I am taking a nap while she is downstairs with Papa watching the Minnesota Vikings). Life is going pretty well for me. My Momma keeps buying me new toys and clothes. Yesterday she came home with a rain coat and a pink t-shirt that says "social butterfly". Papa rolled is eyes and gave Momma that look. He did laugh when he saw me in my new t-shirt, though, and said I looked cute. She also bought me 3 new chew toys - something about that being better that the dining room…

So down I went thinking he was after his ball, no…

Hello my new friends, had a lovely Saturday morning, mum got up early and said we were going to the beach!! Yippee,I love the beach.

On the way back from the beach we stopped off at another park and I had lovely games with two other doodles, Maggie and Winston…

Well as our week together comes to a close, I though I would share one last story about the adventures of Mylie and Gavin. I learned this week that two dogs are twice the work, twice the expense and 10 times the laughs! Still not ready for a second one, but it was a positive experience (save and except Mylie’s frequent “vocalizations”).…
