But it was raining.

Whaddya mean I'm in disgrace again? It was raining, and I was bored. What a girl supposed to do? You went away to the circus and left me all alone.

Strange Humans

I'm not sure about these strange humans - I'm not going a step closer!

Whaddya mean they're coming back? I'm out of here if they are!

My Day at the Beach

Top Dog and Linda took me to the Beach. I wasn't sure what it was all about, and there I was, just standing there, and all this horrible-tasting water hit me from behind.


I didn't go near the water again after that!

 

 But I did have a bit of a dig.

I like the sand, but I do not like that water!

Today at Doggie School

 

This is me with Winston at Doggie School today. 

Can you tell which one is me? Top Dog reckons when we get going, he can't tell. Reckons if I don't do my sit-stays properly, he will take the wrong one home.

 

This is Charlie. Charlie isn't game to play with us yet. 

Wish he would.

Charlie is cute!

No Way!

No Way Anyone is getting any of MY toys

Doggies from Today

Lucy is one today. Happy Birthday Lucy! She is a Neapolitan Mastiff, which is close to Malta, which is where I am half from....   I know what I mean. Lucy is nice.

And below is the very elegant Obi.  When I grow up, I want to be as elegant as Obi. You can see me starting to develop that elegance, can't you? Obi is beautiful.

Today at training......

 

Whaddya mean I'm supposed to be facing the same way as the others? I'm looking at you, ain't I?

 

This is my friend Hamish. I know he looks a bit mean here, but he really is a sweetie.

Not only did I pass....

Well, there you go. Not only did I pass, I came second in my group.

Do I get a treat for that?

I passed!

This morning I went to Puppy School for Graduation. Last week I got thrown out of Puppy School and sent to Beginners, because they finally decided I was too old to be there. So when Top Dog signed me in, he thought "I reckon Milly is pretty good", and he showed me in Beginners and not Puppies.

And I passed.

Top Dog and Linda are very proud of me. Next week I start learning Grade 1 stuff.

I did all my sits perfectly, and right-about-turns, and stands and sit stays. Must have been all that practice.

Ssssh, don't tell...

Ssssh! Don't tell. They already know I was supposed to be a Poodle,
not whatever I am.

But if they find out I am really a goat disguised as a dog, I might be in real trouble!


I'll just sit here really quietly, and they might not notice me.

Hello??????????

Hello??????????????

Has anyone noticed it is raining, and I can't go out to play?????

I even had to miss Puppy school.

Puppy School II

I've just been to Puppy School again. Some of the puppies are much younger than me, but much bigger.

What do you mean you only got me when you couldn't find a Schnauzer????

I don't think I have met this one before. This is not a Puppy!

The president of my fan club came down this morning to check out how I was going. She reckons this is one big poodle! Very well behaved though - reckons I should be the same soon.

Meet Muriel

This is Muriel.

She is one of my favourite fans.

Pity her husband barracks for Collingwood. He should barrack for the Doggies.

I have product!

I have product! Linda has been making bookmarks for me to give to my fans.



The thing I want to know is - can you eat books? I've been chewing on a few in the hall, but can't say they are to my taste.

In Disgrace

Whaddya mean I'm in disgrace????

It was a beautiful hole, and I missed the carrots.



Memo to TD and Linda - I DO NOT LIKE BATHS!

Puppy School I

I've just been off to Puppy School. TD is learning lots. I'm just playing with the other puppies. This is me with Rusty (above).

I'm not sure of some of them yet, so I might just hide behind TD for a while.


Some of the puppies are really cute!



And this is me actually working out. And there's Rusty, too.

Whaddya mean I'm not supposed to be sniffing the ground while I'm walking???

She doesn't really mean it..... Does She?

What does Linda mean when she says she wouldn't have got a white doggie if she had thought about it?

Just because the floor tiles in the kitchen are white, and I like to be near her, and she keeps tripping over me.

And then she goes and says "It's okay - I'll dye her purple. Then I'll be able to see her"

She doesn't mean it.

Does she?

Why can't they just get purple floor tiles????

Puppy School!

This is me after a really busy morning. I have been to Puppy School. Well, puppy school next week, they just put us all in together this week, and we walked around in circles, and TD walked around me in circles. And next week I go to puppy school.

There were lots of Doggies in my face, and lots in my never-you-mind, and none of them barked at me like the dogs behind fences do.

But I was still just a little bit wary.

And tired after it all.

But it was fun - I've never seen that many dogs before - not even at the shelter.

Now, what was it? Heel when I want to chase Magpies, and sit when I have food.

Wasn't it????

New Fan Club

I have a new Fan Club. Jo and her happy band are hereby appointed Official Suppliers of Doggie Water to this blog. TD and Linda like the coffee there too.

Up at the Railway Reserve

I've just been up to the Railway Reserve for a walk.

It is fun up there, with lots of birds.















If only I could get away, I would have a great time chasing birds up here.


















And I could have gone for a swim, but TD wouldn't let me off the lead.














This was fun - can we do it again tomorrow???

I still reckon this is a Doggie Door.

Even if it won't open.

I'm sure I could get through if it would open.

Even with this bucket on my head.

Meet the President

This is Ailsa. She is the president of my new Fan Club at the hostel.

She thinks I am just lovely. The others do, too. I get lots of pats.

Meet Crockett

This is Crockett. He goes down to the hostel where I have established a fan club. Crockett is very friendly, and is a perfect gentleman, but here he is whispering sweet nothings in my ear. Which being a demure young lady, I am pretending to ignore.

Does she mean me????

All TD and I were doing was going for a walk this morning. Just a nice, smelly little long walk.

And TD saw a Lady with a Great Dane. All he said was that it was my breakfast.

And SHE called me Bucket Head!

The Indignity of it!

The Things They do to a Girl!

It isn't fair. The things they do to a girl. Wanting me to wear hand-me-downs from Penny.

Linda made it for her, and thought I might like it. Trouble is Penny was much rounder, and her backside wasn't as far away as mine! Linda reckons she can put tucks in the straps, but I flatly refuse to wear this - let alone with a ruffle on the back end!!!


If I have to wear one of these, I want my own!
