Decided to wear a long dress for the warm weather. Just an old dress, nothing special...15 monthold ( 'grown up'?) decided this swinging around my legs was a temptation too much....A mouthful and a tug and there it was a ragged bottom midi!
Please tell me I dont have a badly trained dog...I know!

Karen :(

Hehe, no you just have a normal mischievious pup - we've all been there (i still am and freddie is 2+) :-)
Hope doggie didnt rip it so badly you uncovered your modesty :-) LOL

hehe, nope you have a normal pup,if it helps you feel better one of mine when she was a pup,well about 10 or 11 mnths, decided to chew my dining tablelegs,chair legs,and dining room skirting boards all in one fell swoop.Id had to pop out for half an hour and she had been fine left with my other dog all snuggled in up till that point.
I was going to sell said dining room table on e bay too and had just uploaded the photos of it to my pc.
Needless to say I couldnt sell it after my pup had used it as a teething toy lol.

Oops! :-D

I actually got my legs out today , we're digging a new pond and our garden is a sun trap, I had to admit that my thick joggy bottoms were too much for digging in the heat, so I've borrowed my hubbies shorts (don't own my own as I don't normally get my legs out). After I got used to the glare reflecting of my white legs, LOL, Buster (nearly 2 yrs) decided to investigate these new white things by coming up behind me and poking his head between my legs, resulting in lifting me off the floor, then he proceded to mouth and slobber my legs, leaving my glowng white legs a muddy slimy brown. He can't have found them very tasty as he soon got bored and went back to bed.

I think they all find new things interesting and some things are far to much fun to ignore :)

I remember it well "normal puppy behaviour " at our house meant Inga 15 month old GSD swinging of the towels on the washing line every time the wind blew the washing.
I,d still love another pup though.

Vic did a good one today (he's 1 now), he pulled the carrier bag holder off its hook, pulled its head off (it WAS duck shaped) and took all the carrier bags into his bed, he did look very cute though rolling in his new crinkly bed. He looked so sad when I took them all away :)

PMSL!!

i've also bared the blotchy whites today in a lovely new dress, hoping that if i spend some time in the sun tomorrow they might tint up a smidgeon

I must have recovered, I have been relating the tale to family and friends, in a sort of defence way....
It really must have looked quite hilarious, so dumbfounded was I that I didn't even look at her, just sort of went in to shock and calm mode.
Now laughing....
Karen ;)

bless you, i hope you weren't to fond of the dress

LOL, it wasn't new and generally I dont get bothered by 'things'. I was most pleased with myself for not reacting and allowing her to get more excited.

ah yes...I have a pair of well behaved dogs, who at 14 and 20 months, have just excelled themselves by going upstairs to my bedroom for a bit of comfort waiting for their valet, my son, to get up with them while I was out this week. On lifting the duvet at night to go to bed--laid out neatly just as normal--a huge cloud of down erupted. They'd chewed at least fifty holes straight through the cover into the feather. Dogs were very impressed with the resulting sound effects, the picture of round eyed innocence. I am still picking feather out of my hair and clothes.

oh puppies, don't you just love them? I received a phone call yesterday from other half to say "your dog has been naughty". Note when he's done something wrong he's my dog yet when he's cute and adorable he's our dog!

Anyway when I came home Nero was very pleased to show me how he'd been playing with the curtains and managed to pull them and the whole pole down resulting in three holes in the wall where the screws had been and bits of plaster on the floor! I got the big wide eyed puppy look that says "what, it wasn't me!!!!"

Guess what Sunday's job will be?

We have done some gardening today as well!
The doggies job was to make all sticks(dead parts of climbing plant) etc smaller and spread them all over the garden so she was doing her bit...

Our garden is tiny, gravel and flower beds on 3 sides of the garden.
The flower beds are very big for the size of the garden so I have always thought I should make them smaller, today was the day.
The flower beds are surronded by wooden partly under ground slats...
So making the flower beds smaller meant digging out soil and pulling the slats out and moving them to the area I digged out and then pushing the gravel and filling in up to the slats...
I spent about 3 hours doing this and got it all done.

This evening my dog is suddenly very excited, play biting me and just generally fooling around...
I think it must be the weather cooling down.
NOOOOO, how wrong was I.

Yes, she had removed every single slat and layed them in the middle of the garden and was obvioulsy very pleased of her handywork!
She actually brought me to the garden by my sleeve so I could admire what she had done :)!
She seemed to be saying look mummy it took you hours to dig these out and I clever girl done it in few minutes!!!

She was obviously watching me moving the wooden slats and had not until today realized they could be moved.
Now after today I have also figured out why she suddenly started digging in the garden few months back = I had done some digging in the flowerbeds prior her suddenly starting this new hobby!
She obvioulsy likes to copy whet I do...

What a clever girl :-)

I did some at the weekend too and had a well deserved lie down in the sun beside the garden furniture I hauled out of the shed.  I must have dozed off and the pup clearly spent some time personalising the furniture which now has chomp marks in it and chunks bitten off it.  Just as well I never liked it too much!
