The Labraventures of Carbón, Spanish (ex-) foster dog extraordinaire

Carbon slays me. I'm working on unpacking my mound of disorganized belongings and not only has he not bothered my stuff, he has quite cleverly found all his own toys hidden throughout. Last night he found his old faves plus a special @Boogie pheasant and just now he found a horse I'd bought with Rose in Ireland and had forgotten about. What a toy addict..but not in a bad way. :heart:

And the stash (with my new wooden sofa behind)

That sofa is nicely cushioned up - has Nadine done her magic?

If you don't think the doggy lederhosen would be well received amongst the Germans (although I maintain that regional "dress" is an exception given how proud Bavarians are) you should at least wear the Bavarian flag bando to all your citizenship interviews - it might actually help!

Sofa doesn't look too bad, have you 'done it up' already!

I've just tossed all my own stuff at it - duvet cover, pillow case covers and throws. I also moved a nightstand to the side to give it at least an illusion of an arm on one side. It's still as uncomfortable as heck, but it looks better. Carbon likes it, though - it's just the right size for one petite Labrador and as Rose in Kinsale knows, he's a fan of the 'lots of pillows' decorating style.. :D

Carbon does have his Bavarian flag bandana but the foreigner's office might lock me up if I show up in dog bandana. But getting the human version - Bavarian scarf anyone - might just to the trick!

LOL I meant put Carbon in the bando! But the "dog in bando/human in scarf" combo would be a sure thing!
Ahhhh! Oops! NOW I understand. :$

Yes, he does look very dashing in his Bavarian bandana and I'm sure that would be appreciated by the foreigner's office staff. I used to bring Brogan in all the time, but that was before the refugee crisis and the advent of 3 hour plus queue waits. Now Carbon gets to stay at home in his comfy bed with his Kongs and stuffies while I queue up at 6am. Lucky dog!

Just a little shout out to Miss Rose and Curly Murphy who have been keeping tabs on Carbon and me here but haven't joined the forum yet. Rose thinks a cockapoo doesn't quality as a Labrador friend.

YES, YOU DO. :dancesheep:

Give in and join the craziness...you know you want to. And I'm 100% certain that Curly has quite the Aussie voice to lend to the furry madness over on the kennel club thread. So many adventures to tell about his true loves and enemies as he defends you daily on the mean streets of Kinsale.

So come and join us. We won't bite, we promise. :shake:

Awwww bless him - now Mum needs to get him a nice toy box :nod:
I was thinking about this. It needs to be light, collapsable and portable. Do you all think one of those pop up laundry basket things would work, or is that too tall? He needs to be able to get his own nose in there and have a root around, right?

As I'm unpacking, I'm finding more and more toys, including ones I'd bought in preparation for a puppy. I figure Carbon might as well enjoy those too!

If Carbon knew what Christmas was, he'd think it had come early. :xmasparty:
