I know exactly how you feel. I can't even play with my soft toys now because That Tuppy Creature just grabs them and rips pieces off. Mum's even confiscated our nylabones because TTC chews them so hard she makes her mouth bleed. I'm feeling deprived. Wispa
My hoomans did lots of shouting this morning cos when I took Dad out for his morning walk we went past the kitchen window at 90 miles an hour (Mum said that and I think it must be very fast). Mum said Dad is supposed to be taking me for a walk not the other way round, sigh! , just when I've got him all trained. Ripple
OMG my hoomans let me play with the ball and ball chucker thing tonight! I hardly ever get to play fetch with this as hooman mum always says I pay more attention to the ball than to her. Well duhh... Of course I do
OK fellow dogs, just looking for a bit of advice. This morning, we were walking in the wood and mum was making these weird noises, like she was in pain. It was horrible to hear. She called it "Krissmuss Karels" and said it was for "the Forum". I don't know..I was worried, but then suddenly she was her usual self again, playing ball and calling me. Should I watch and wait or would you take her to the V.E.T. ? Coco.
Oh Coco I know exactly what you mean! My mum does something she calls "sin-ging" with my hooman brother Nathan. It makes my ears hurt and used to think she was in pain but now I think there's something a little bit wrong with her. I just try to either find a quiet spit in another room or, if it's really bad, I'll lick her until she stops.
Someone's got to Ella, someone's got to. Well done you. I lost count of how many times she lost the ball today, we were walking in the mist in a dark forest - she couldn't see. I don't know why they don't get down and use their noses.
Gosh, Coco and Ella, I thought it was just me! What a relief to hear that your hoomans do this too. My mum does it ALL THE TIME but usually dad says she has to go out to the shed to do it so he doesn't have to listen. Sometimes I go out too and I sit on her feet to try to cheer her up because she sounds in so much pain!!! But dad doesn't seem to be too worried so I think she is OK really. It's really bad at the moment because she says she has something called a "zinging-ekkkzamm" next week and she's scared.
I understand your concern, Coco. Mum and dad have toys that make weird noises. Mum has a "frenchorn" that makes really funny noises like a high-pitched cow, and dad has a big wooden box called a "dubblebase" that groans at me. I'm glad they don't do the "Krissmuss Karels" thing! Why can't people play with sensible toys like tennis balls and tuggy ropes?
My Mam does this sometimes too. It's like a sqwaking. Sometimes I hear my name in there and she usually tries to cuddle me when she does it so maybe she's trying to communicate with me? Or she's asking for my help maybe? Either way I just give her a withering look to let her know she's irritating me. I don't have time to deal with her problems, there's far too much mishchief to be getting up to elsewhere. Stanley
My mum isn't doing Krissmuss Karels, she's doing Krissmuss Coo King, and it fills the house with lovely smells. I have given myself the job of chief floor washer to help out, I wanted the job of master taster but Dad said you needed lots of xpeerients so he was going to do it. (Don't know how to get xpeerients as I'm not allowed to go to the shop on my own, might have to put them on my Krissmuss list). Ripple
My mum is crazy too! Sometimes her voice goes all high pitch and she hurts my ears - it's extra embarrassing when I'm around my cousins, who are big grown up boys (but I have heard their mum do weird things too!). I try and tell her to stop by standing and staring at her seriously, but that just makes things worse! I thought that it was only me that had to endure the awful racket all day and night - thank dog it's not just me. There are also these things in the house everywhere that mum lights at night "cann-dals" that dad yells about smelling bad and make me sneeze! Mum says it makes things festive? I don't understand humans. Quinn
Mum took me for a lovely walk earlier. We met a man who was wearing a coat that made him look like one of those fluffy animals on the mountain! Mum called it sheep's kin, so I think it might be a sheep's brother. I don't know what that is. Maybe a goat. I didn't like it one bit and so I barked at the fluffy bits round his wrists. He thought it was very funny. I did not. Then, I saw three STUPID sheeps myself! They were really, really stupid, standing right in our path and staring at us. Mum and me played a game where she blew the whistle and I sat down and got lots and lots of roast chicken which was scrummy. The sheeps just kept standing there looking at us and not moving, even when we were really close! Mum said we were about ten feet away, but I think we were further than that, because she only has little feet. Then the sheeps ran off and I was really good because I didn't chase them even though I thought about it a bit. But the roast chicken game was more fun, so I did that instead. Shadow
The mini hooman always wants to climb on me. Sometimes he's annoying but he's not so bad now that he throws the ball for me and plays tuggy with me. Plus he gives me some of his dinner even when mum tells him not to
Ah, Ella Girl, I bet hu-pups are probably as annoying as dog-pups. Betsy was (and still is) very annoying. But she's fun sometimes too now - she chases sticks when I pick them up and because she's such a short arse, can't catch me when I run away with them. TeeHee. Your hu-pup doesn't sound too bad if he shares his dinner with you. Charlie
I am not showt! Not showt! You're a big fat meanie! You weigh 29kgs, and Mum says you are 0.5kgs over what you should be, and so you are FAT. You are a big FATTY! Betsy
My Mum and dad have gone to that wurk place again. I don't know why they go. Mum always says she doesn't want to. She should just stay at home and play with me, she seems to like those days better. Mum said grandads coming over to see me today. I like it when grandad comes. He takes me for nice walks and gives me extra treats which mum and dad don't know about. Then we cuddle on the couch. Stanley
I think I'm lucky , my mum doesn't make those squawking noises, she says it would hurt her ears if she done it This man called Oli comes and gets me every couple of days and I get to play and run in a field with other dogs who are great fun. This week I've seen Oli every day, it's been awesome as I've got to play LOTS. My mum keeps telling me she loves me and doesn't like working this much but that it's important. I don't care really as I get to see Oli and my friends Last night my mum was putting these cwakers things on the crwistmas tree so I pinched the box and ran around and around and around, on the sofa, in the garden, over my mum, over my bed.......it was GREAT FUN. Mum said she loves watching me having hulies so I then pinned her on the floor and licked her face all over lots of times. She laughed so I knew she liked it so I done it even more .
I saw my bestest friend Judy this morning! Judy is a goldernretreever. I love her love her love her. Mum says Judy doesn't want to be my friend because she's an old lady, but I'm sure that's not true. So I show her my full body wags when I see her and lick her mouth to show her that I love her love her love her. Willow
Awww, I know what that's like WillowShadow, I have a bestest boyfriend that's called Ian and he's black like me but bigger and I'm just soooooo excited when I sees him and then I have to run round and round and eat all the poo I can find before he does so he knows I'm like the best poo-finder around. I lick his mouth too to show him just how much I lovelovelove him
Mummy took me a brilliant walk this morning, first we saw the Monkjack deer. I was pulling and barking then whining and crying but mummy just would not let me off the lead until I stopped and sat and looked at her nicely. She thought she was clever but as soon as the lead was unclipped I was off to see whose beady little eyes keep peering at me. I heard pip pip pip. Time to run back, wow 3 dried sprats yummy. I was super excited now and ran and ran then saw two yellow labs and their mummy who was eating a bacon roll. No time to play I'm going to try for some of that bacon. Mummy called me, yikes I've over stepped the mark now jumping up at people. I played and did that super bitey face thing with Queenie, what fun. Mummy was then super annoying and called me away to walk in a different direction. She does that all the time, doesn't let me play for too long, irritating!! We then met up with a little terrier type, poor boy, he is 2 years old just like me but not off the lead as his daddy said he can't be bothered with the training thing. His daddy said how well trained I am and mummy has done a good job. I'll show him whose boss, so off I ran in the undergrowth looking for squirrels and deer. I hear the whistle and I can see mummy so I run towards her, no wait I'm off on a u-turn I'm boss. I can see mummy waiting and she has called me again. Oh wait she's talking to Lexi, can't miss out on some Bullmastiff gossip better see what's going on. Say a quick hello then we are off again, I'm going around the pond, the side mummy can't get to. Pip pip pip goes that whistle again. I look up and horror of horrors, mummy is walking actually almost running through into the field. Crikey I'm going to be left behind better get to mummy quick. Oh no didn't get any treats this time I'll stay super close now and walk on a loose lead. Phew time for a snooze.
