Fidget Midget

Lovely sniffy walk with aunty steph from Treats2sit4 today!! Really tired now, but I had a blast! Made better by the tasty lolly when we got home....it didnt last long!!

As your dog gets older, it can be hard work! Im 14.5 now (we think: im a rescue) and i have daily pain meds (puppy tablets!) For my arthritis, daily excercises to help my muscles, bi monthly hydrotherapy and monthly physiotherapy and laser therapy: yep, mum is my taxi!! Mum thinks i have a little dementia now too, so we are now working on brain games to help me :)
I still throw my dish at mum for a cup of tea, and i do know when its dinner time: precisely 30 mins after my puppy tablet!! :)

Ive decided we need aome new wheels: the Batmobile will do bol! Lightening mcqueen is fun, but gutted paddingron didnt share!!

We were camping at the weekend!! Dad competes in archery, so we were his cheering squad! I had my pyjamas for nightime, (kept mum and dad awake the first night as I wouldnt get off the bed, then managed to fall off it!) Saturday was fab, and got some sunbathing in! What a great weekend: i loved it!!

I enjoy a daily walk with my big brother...(would happily leave him at home, but im not allowed!) Moogie laughed when she took this photo: she said i look so annoyed!

Yup: this is me! :)

Been enjoying the sunshine!! Not seen it in so long, I had forgotten how nice it was!

I do muss my baby brother :( he got away with everything!!!

Puppies! Adorable cuddly bundles who explore EVERYTHING woth their mouth! Size is an important thing to consider: Midge is 13 years old, she is a staffu x lab and approx 18kg, so she isnt a small dog! Fletch was about 6-7 months here, and about 25-30kg! Yes he was large for his breed, but we knew what we were in for! Do plenty of research if there is a specific breed you are interested in, for example hounds were bred to bark when they found a scent/ prey....they LOVE the sound of their own voice! (Terriers too!) Huskies and malamutes are bred to pull: they are strong and need LOTS of excercise....the list goes on! Dogs truly are amazing, but they are hard work: they dont come 'pre trained' that work is for us to do!

I helped!! :)

We have a toy amnesty donation box at training: money raised goes to Rotherham Dog Rescue to help with their efforts: also, I do crafting, and 10% of sales are donated too: this year the collection box raised £12 and crafting raised £5, so £17 has been sent to help with vets and kennel fees! Thankyou all for supporting us! Ali, Chris, T and Midge!
