Walkies. Snacks. Vet.

"Where are we off to today, Dad ?"
We're off to the vet for Monty's Pentosan injection.

First stop is Loafa Bread for a coffee and a snack. Who wants some pastry ?
"Yum. Me please."
"Me too Dad some pastry too please."

Then to the vet. Are you ready, Monty ?

"I'm ready, Dad... As long as I get a liver treat from the nurse. "

It's empty

What's up Monty ? You look worried.
"Dad, it's empty. My bowl is empty."

Yes, that's because you've just had your supper.
"But I'm starving."
Are you really ? Poor thing. And it's such a long time until breakfast.

5.30 pm

Come on Monty, don't stop there. We've only just started walking.
"But Dad, it's 5.30 and that means it's supper time."

*groans* Is that all you think about ?! Your stomach ?
"But Dad I'm starving, and I'm sure my supper is ready."

Monty ! I'll feed you when we get back. Now walk !
"No no no. We MUST turn back now before I collapse from hunger."

Poor Monty. No one ever feeds him.

Insert Moulding... (or everywhere Dad goes...)

"What are we doing today Dad ?"
Oh, another big adventure of course, Daisy-Mae.

"Gosh Dad. What would that be ?"
Buying some bits of wood. It's always an adventure when you two come with me.
See ? Insert Moulding 32mm by 15mm.

Thanks for coming along for the ride, kiddies.

Yes, your lordship.

"Can you scratch my other ear too please Dad ?"

Okeydokey. How's that ?

"Now that other ear again. It's still itchy."
What did your last slave die off ? Sheesh.

"My last slave is still alive and scratching my ears. Ahh, that's so good. Maybe under my chin too please."

Just for you, because your old.

Not much to report.

Alright then, Daisy ?
"Not much to speak of today, Dad."
Hmm ?

"Well we found a chop bone, but it had been well chewed, so we peed on it."
"And we found some possum poop so we rolled in it..."
Really ?
"...and peed on it, but that's about all, really."
Gosh, is that so ?!

Si the DogBlogger

Full moon.

"Look Dad, it's a full moon. It brings out the wolf in me."
Does it really, Monty ?

"Oh yes, quite. Howling and running with the pack. Yes indeed."
Running with the pack, eh ?

Well just don't let 'The Pack' see you sitting in a pram marked 'Mothers Helper' then *snigger snigger*

"Dad ! Shhhh. Don't tell them. Promise ?"

Si the DogBlogger

Rolling in the wet grass.Edinburgh Gardens Fitzroy

Daisy !
"What, Dad ?"

Look at you ! What have you been up to ?
"Rolling in the wet grass, of course. It's lovely and cool."
Ick. No thanks.
"No, really. You should try it. It's very refreshing.

Is there any chance that you might stay clean ? Just once ?
"Hmm, let me think. No, I don't think so, no."

Si the DogBlogger

A little nap now.

"Dad, I'm exhausted. I need a rest."
Poor Monty. You've been walking for at least two minutes.

"Phew. I'm beat. I need a little nap now."
Poor old man. You rest and I'll scratch your ears.
