Home Alone

Still gots my first dollie
Not sure ifs I like being alone. I nevers been alone since I gots to my forever home, you mights wemember whens I come to live here I would wrek everything and pull stuff apart an climb out of pen so Ailsa an me would gets put in the shed with a door ons, they didnts have a door ons the shed befores and its been theres for ever. whens I didnt have to stay home Ailsa woud go in the pen to buts well they didnts trust me as I might gets out.
Me not done nothing
Anyways I was getting quites good and only used to unstuff an odd toy or pull rip any blankie Ailsa was laying on to try gets her to play.  SO this week is the first time I bin left in the shed whens Mum and Dads went out cause Dads had operation same time Ailsa went to Rainbow bridge so I stayed home to look after him when Mums went out.

cept rearange a bits
 Anyways they BOth wents out as dads much better so whens they come home things don't look bad, I rearanged the bed a bit but all was in one piece, I dids think I gots away with it.  Mums was a bit upset, said I was back to square one what ever that means,  and I heard banging come from the shed so think its bin fixed but don't have photo yet.

Times flies

Ailsa here
 Opps sorry, time flies when your having fun.  Well what can I say,  the kid is doing well, can be a bit defiant sometimes but as I've trained the humans well they should expect this from time to time from us,   were still having home alone problems though since I'm with her she's not actually alone and we get given a kong and have soft music playing buts who knows whats goes on in her little red head.  The shedbedroom is down to a reduced sized bed, no mattress, it got turned 4 times before it ran out of corners,  1 pillow (was 6) 0 donnas (was 2)  1 blanket (was 4) and a few remnants. I keep telling her the pillow is MINE,  we know theres some new stuff as she managed to get one of the drawers a bit open and get the corner of a new blankie out and chewed it off except it wasn't the corner but the middle of the edge so its  bin made into a coat as she shaped the neck right, isn't she clever (NOT), makes her own dog coats, the shed toy bin is down to a couple of chew rings and 1 soft toy ball.   
Home alone
She's doing well on drops and sits and stuff but isn't good on the lead as she zig zags, she is very touch sensitive so mums is thinking harness, she was going to get one she read about called Walkeez buts none of the places that used to sell them seem to have full size range and even though Teesh is still skinny she is very deep chested so gots to have quite a large one but in most harnesses that means the rest of it is to bigs.  Mums thinks they may of gone out of production so will have to do some more research to find something else nice and soft, she has been allowed in the padock with me as long as she has her long line on so a harness woulds be better with that.  mums tied a small kong on the ends of it so I played chaise with it cause the twit was running around.
Pleazzzze, lets me OFF.

sniff sniff sniff
more sniff sniff
Butter wouldn't melt in HER mouth
Mums is now taking her to dog club as theres more dogs and people around, she can't goes every week as its on the day skin sis comes to visit or Mum ands Dad goes to visit her. I don't goes as I get upset in the car now but I'm quite happy to stay ats home.  I do quite miss the entertainment I bin getting lately as Teesh goes as she loves the car.   She still wont play with toys, balls or stuffies. Mums made some throw toys with pockets in them to fill with treats, they are good funs. I likes them, geesh she's thick,  (thats teesh nots mums) I tolds her, stay dumb thens I gets all her treats.   bye for now  woofs, Ailsa

Ailsa checking in


Hi everyone.
Ailsa here. We thought it was time I said hello, as you know Brodie was the one that did most of the chatting as he was the kid in the family.   I spend a lot of time just laying around, as I can't run around any more as my legs forget what way they should be going but I still love to walk s-l-o-w-ly around the garden. I was 13 on May 11 so I have excuse to go slow.
Walking round garden with Burtie
My day is, sleep, eat, have tablets, walk round garden sleep, have tablets, eat sleep well you gets the idea, Mums said its a wonder I don't rattle.
My morning tablets
Mums been trying to get a good photo of me but as soon as she clicks the button I put my head down.   she thought it might be the flashy but thinks I hear it click as she tried putting flashy thing off but made no difference.
 
As you will see from the photos I've taken up Bros spot in the kitchen to keep an eye on food preparation.  I still have the bed under the kitchen table that was put there when I was sick, I use that in the daytime.

I sleeps a lot
ON the news front, I've heard them talking about some dog thats might be coming to live with us, she's a long long way away, she has a big road trip that has to be organised and thens she will be puts on one of those big birds that swallow you up and make loud noises then spits you out at some other place,.  I know all abouts big birds as when I was a pup I was put on one and they lost me so I have always been frightened of noise, then Mums and Dads will take a drive and bring her to live with us.
Bone munching off the sheet thats suppose to keep my bed clean.
I drinks LOts of water now so its been moved into the kitchen.


 Burtie is fine, doesn't have Brodie to cuddle up to so is hassling mums a bit but he did see that there are a lot of look a likes on the computer so might start a club.
 

 I'll hate to tell the new girl when she arrives  but ALL the beds are mine, I uses them all at different times of the day,  she wont get here for week or so as she has just had operation.  She has a family that loves her buts for her own safety she had to be rehomed so mums found her through rescue, she has to learn to live in a house, just as long as she knows the beds are mine. 


"Tess"
 Will let you know if or when "Tess" arrives.

MY Basket

Hi Friends, me Ailsa here.

Sorry we haven't been around but we need help to type and Mums heart hasn't been in it, lots of reasons, and it doesn't help that we don't get up to much except lay around and keep the humans company. I'm getting a bit wobbly on my legs so can't run and play like I once did and Brody is just lazy, every so often he decides he wants to chase me buts I just cant run as long, minds you I did find a wallabi in the chook yard the other week and forgot all my akes and pains as I hopped and bounced right after it, was a bit stiff, no a lot stiff next day but it was all worth it as Mums said my eyes sparkled for ages after. I'm still as defiant and cheeky as I've always been but Brody has my place on the bed now as I can't get up on it but Mums still cant leave things on the bench or table as one way or another I can inhale as I pass by and walla its in my mouth and down my tummy before a blink of an eye.

Anyways months ago my basket went -----flat. this is the basket you seen in the laundry and its my domain, sometimes I let my bro use it but I get priority. It used to be Wilmots an he gave it to me, he got it off his friend Glory who lived up the road as she didn't like it so its about 14 to 15 yrs old. Mums tried to get another one but none of them were very strong. my basket been mended so many times buts it was … flat and not much left of it except it being mine.
Anyways Mums was cleaning out her craft room and pulled out the box she kept her fabrics in and well I couldn't resist I tried it for size, well the few $100 worth of fabric did make a nice soft bed but I got turfed out when Mums found me all curled up, but then she said if I liked it I could try it buts without her fabric so she padded the edges and put my old cushion in and now I have a new day bed.


Bro has tried it and sometimes gets in buts he's actually a bit big for it. I fit in just snug. Mums says I might not be able to get in it when I get stiffer but for now its mine, its got little wheels on it and sometimes daddy pretends I'm in a car and pushes me in it, sometimes he's sillier then me.

Zoro is still with us, well not with us but alive. no Brody didn't eat him. One by one all our pet bunnies got mixo as well as her newest baby that she kept to keep Zoro company, all the wild ones dissapired too, for weeks she was terrified Zoro would catch it but the weeks went by. Skinsis bought her own house so once out of the flat were she couldn't have pets and as soon as the quarantine time was over Zoro was taken to live with her. Anyways thats about it for now. mums says we don't do much but we did lots of odds and ends but now its all old news so she could of helped us to tell you while it was new.

Taken on Boxing day while on holliday with us. Zorro (about 3kg now) he now gets called Munchkin.

True Colour Thursday

This week for Blues meme the colour is Snow White, since its Summer we don't have snow, not that we ever get more then a flurry here but they can drive up the road a few km to play in it, there hasn't been much the last few years though.

Ailsa dreaming, with her white face on a white computer.

Zorro, snow white fur is still a bit thin and he's still only 1/4 size he should be buts is getting bigger. We took this photo tonight as mums wanted a photo of him drinking his bottle as it was white too but he let go just as she tooks the picture. Mums did think of putting him on the plate but thought it might give us ideas.

OK. there not white, but the plate is. the white ones had all gone and Mums not good at remembering to take photos. now if she had planned right she could of got a whole lot of plate shots taken over Christmas to just about cover the next few colours. If you want to play along go to Blues place and let her know.
