What made you smile today?

During an impromptu visit at Grandmas, Shamas "met" a new cat. There was a lot of whining for the first few minutes, but after 45min of marking calm behavior whilst the cat sat quietly on a lap across the room, shamas went to sleep. Went to sleep! With a cat in the room!

Great!!

Squidge has had a couple of instances recently where cats have crossed the road in front of her and hidden under parked cars. She is now convinced that every single parked car we pass has a cat hiding under it

@Boogie how lovely of your son!

This is very impressive, well done!

after 45min of marking calm

Wow - that is good progress!
However, doesn't sound like the most relaxing visit for you

@Boogie that is so lovely

We just booked a little midweek beach getaway with the dog! It will be our first time away with him. How exciting!

We are going down the South Coast this weekend with friends and of course Mad Maxx. The beach is dog friendly and he will have a ball. As will the hoomans I hope

Have a great time @MrChew

Culburra? That's where we are going, but mid March.

We are on holiday skiing but I still found some dogs to go for a walk. Two golden retrievers and one retriever cross lab who live in the apartment next to us.

The dogs enjoyed their extended walks this afternoon as I tried to get my grandson Rory to sleep. He had been to his first nursery session without his mummy this morning, but didn’t have a nap, then was not showing any signs of trying to sleep at all when my DiL put him in his cot after lunch. So I took him for a walk with Tuppence, then with Wispa, but he didn’t doze off at all! Both dogs slept soundly afterwards, though... until it was time for supper!

You can't be serious? We are going in Mid-March too - with @Oberon ! I wanted to ask you too but the house is small and it just wouldn't fit 6 humans, 3 labradors and one baby! Oh, but you said mid-week and we are going on the weekend. Bugger!

Yeah, mid week works better with our weird work schedule. It's a pity that we couldn't organise a catch up.

It's half term and today I had a visit from Melanie and Nia. Nia was rather excited because she had made me a present, 'All by myself, with absolutely no help from anyone at all!' Here it is

 

[Candy]

After we'd chatted for a while they set off for home and I saw them to the gate. Coming back into the house I saw that Joy had decided my present belonged in with the Joy's toys!

 

[snowbunny]

Joy's toys are all pristine!!

Joy would like to make it clear that she is NOT responsible for the damage to Mr Platypus. It happened when a certain big and beautiful Guide dog with a Splendid Tail came to visit for the first time. Mr Chicken was the casualty on his second visit but he is sitting on his injuries in the picture.

Monkey!

He‘s always been a toy destroyer!

Only when he's let out of his harness though. He's still a very Good Boy and we love his visits!

 

[HAH]

I met my old boss’s working cocker Sweep today, he’s a month older than Kipper but he’s So. Calm. A very sweet boy, and I was particularly pleased that my old boss (who is quite gruff with a temper) was really soft with him, showing me his tricks (roll over, shake hands) with biscuits and enthusiasm!

That's lovely Harriet

I have quite often found that some of the grumpiest men ( with people) are lovely with their dogs.

We had SNOW!
Oreo proceeded to try and eat it - this made me smile
