Nighty night everybody.

It's been a big day helping our Dad.
Now we're all tucked up in bed waiting for a kiss on the nose.

Good night Winnie.
"Nighty night, Dad."

Good night Mr Darcy.
"Good night, Dad."
Phoo, you stink of possums.

Si

Afternoon snooze.

Hello Mr Darcy. Lovely boy.

"Time for my nap, Dad."

Si

Busy helping dad.

Are you two going to help me around the house?
"Absolutely dad. We'll sit here and supervise!".
Oh, wonderful. Thank you.

Don't get up, will you. I have to vacuum the house.

"Oh no Dad. We'll watch you from here."

Si

Very tired now.

We've had a big walk out in this bleak, rainy weather. 

Now we're all clean and dry and ready for a nap.

Si

Tired now

Poor Winnie. We've been out for a big walk, and she's been helping with the housework.
Now she's tired and it's time for a nap.

Si

Time for bed.

It's been another big day. Walking, sleeping, eating and playing with squeaky toys.
Now it's time for bed.

 I've had to carry Winnie up the stairs because she was far asleep on the rug downstairs.

Goodnight kiddies.

"Goodnight Dad."

Si

End of another big day.

We've had a big day out.
Now it's time for a nap before dinner.

Si

End of another day.

It's the end of another big day. Time for bed for tired dogs.

Winnie is a funny thing, she often sleeps on her back like this.

Si

End of day one with Winnie.

It's been a big day. Everybody into bed and go to sleep. I'm tired too. 

It's always traumatic going to the Lost Dogs Home.

Si

It's freezing out there.

What do you think, Mr Darcy. Shall we get up and go for a walk.
"Maybe Dad. I'm sure it's freezing out there."

We'll see what Daisy thinks. Daisy, are you coming for a walk?
"Zzzzzzz".

Five more minutes then.

Si

Daisy. Where are you?

Daisy, where are you? Come for a walk.

*zzzzzzzzzzzz*

Lazy lump. Get out of bed. It's 1100.

Si

Lazy bones

*Thump*
"Wake up, Dad ! You've been sleeping in for hours."
Groan, good morning Mr D. Go easy, I've been on late shifts.

"Time for a walk, Dad. I need a poop."
Sigh, OK, and I need a coffee. Let's go then.

Now that looks a bit better.

Half way up the stairs.

I always know when Darcy is tired. I'll find him half way up the stairs, waiting to be told to go to bed.

Good night Mr D. You go up. I'm watching a film.
"Yes Dad. I'm sleepy now. I'll tuck myself in. Kiss me on the nose later, otherwise I'll have bad dreams."
Sure thing.

New bed for Mr Darcy

Daisy, get out. That's Mr Darcy's new bed.
"It's lovely and new and fluffy, Dad."

Yes, but it's for Mr Darcy. You have two beds already.
"Yes Dad, and that fat lump sleeps in my beds too, you know."

Yes well, you two can sort it out then. Just don't tear it up too soon, OK ?!
"As if ..."

 Si the DogBlogger.

Our new bed is very nice.

We went to Ikea today for a few things - a table, a few hooks and a new bed for the dogs.
Mr Darcy has helped me build our new table, then had a smack for tearing Daisy's new bed to pieces.

"We're tired now Dad. It's been a big day."
Poor kiddies, you have a nap.

"Our new bed is very nice Dad, thank you."
You're welcome Daisy-Mae.

"...and I promise not to tear any more bits off it, Dad."
Yes... I should hope so too Mr Darcy !

Si the DogBlogger.

So much for that new bed ...

We've just been to Ikea and found a nice new lambs wool bed for Daisy.

"Um... Dad..."
Yes Daisy ?

"Dad... look at what Darcy is doing to my new bed..."

Oh no ! Mr Darcy, did you pull all this wool out ?!
"Ah... maybe..."

You're a naughty boy. I only just bought that. It's all very well to tear up your own toys, but not Daisy's new bed.
"Whoops, sorry about that."
Naughty boy! Don't do it again!

New bed from Ikea in Richmond

We've just been to Ikea in Richmond to buy a new computer table... and a lambs wool bed for Daisy.

What do you think, Daisy ?
"For me, Dad ? Wow. It's very nice."

"Mmmm, it feels so nice under my toes."

You have a little nap then, Daisy. Darcy and I have to put this table together.

Ready Mr Darcy ?
"Yes, ready Dad. I'll supervise."

Very good. Now where does this piece go ...
"Over there, Dad. It's a good thing I'm here to watch over you."

 Si the DogBlogger.

Did you miss your Dad ?

I've just come home from an early shift.

Hello Darcy. Did you miss your Dad today.
"Yes Dad. You've been gone for hours and hours."

"Poor boy. What did you do?
Slept on your bed all morning... Like this. Zzzzz."

Lovely boy.
"I suppose a walk is out of the question, Dad ?"

Not at all. Let me change my clothes and we'll go.

Si the Dogblogger

Five more minutes.

Are we ready to get up and go for a walk kiddies?
"Maybe five more minute, Dad."

"Not just yet. One more snooze."

OK. Me too. Five more minutes.

Si the DogBlogger

Out from under my feet

"Dad, I'm bored"
Tough luck. We're working on the house and you have to stay there on your bed and watch.

"Can we go for a walk later ?"
Absolutely. Walk, coffee and cake, I think.

"OK then. I guess I'll just wait here."
