Spoilt Dexter

Bought Dexter some toys the other day and they arrived today. I'm hoping they will last a while and keep him entertained as while he isn't crazy active (though he does love a good run) He is happiest being kept entertained mentally. Also in the package was his yearly supply of wormer and flea treatment- It seemed best to stock up while we had free delivery lol. So this afternoon we were sat sticking stickers in my mums diary so we dont forget when to treat him.Yes what exciting lives we lead XD

Here is his stash and a few pics of him

Spoilt pup is spoilt

I should buy shares in Kong

Testing out the Dental stick

Oh this is fun, It squeaks!

What no more toys? :(

Surely one more? no ?

*best sad face I can do*

you make a good head rest

mmmm comfy

I also had the task of cleaning the rats out today, I do not know how the bottom cage of boys gets their cage so dirty in just a week!I think they should learn a thing or two from the girls who are neat. Asbo had another abcess, not sure if it was left over from bites Trouble gave him or if there has been fresh fighting. Grumpy old men! I need to get some more pictures of them all, they just really dont like posing it means sitting still or getting out of bed!

Fun day at the park

Took Dexter to the park with his friend Lucky today. They had a wonderful time , and played for many hours. They also befriended some other dogs, luckily the dogs didn't mind the attentions of two silly boys. They met a pair of cavalier king charles spaniels (Dexter chased the Tricolour one , he liked it better than the blenheim lol) They met a huge dalmatian, a border terrier, a big lab (that Dexter was scared of lol) plus some pugs. Dexter wasnt too sure about the pugs, dont think he realised they were dogs too.

He had a good play with Lucky (boys play so silly and rough), and a good run (Lucky cant keep up with his gangly legs, he gives it a good go though bless him)

We then went to a cafe for a treat for the human members of the park trip, although the pups shared a mini milk ice lolly. The pups then went off the lead for a bit longer and made friends with another border terrier pup, this one was as silly as they were, a really cute pup. Lucky also gatecrashed a picnic for some yoghurt.

Two young girls came over and asked permission to stroke the dogs which was refreshing, so many people just come over and stroke dogs without asking. Then it was time for an icecream and then home , where one tired pooch laid down for a nice sleep, and I admit, I had a nap myself. Was a lovely day and lovely weather, and next month we are going to a charity dog show, hopefully we will win a rosette lol and the boys will behave somewhat


Pics from today...only from the first bit of the park , as I left my phone in the car :( sad really as I would of loved pics of the border pup and of them sharing a lolly

Happy Second Birthday...+other stuff

..To Trouble, Harley, Quinn, Eden + Jinx! Does not feel like two years since they were born lol. Didnt get a big celebration due to me being on limited movement atm (more on that later) but i shall be making it up to them. They are still fairly spritely for their age although Harley has a lump under one of his arms , and one of Jinx's hind legs is a bit weaker then it was. Trouble is still trouble but I dont see that ever changing.

Since i last typed ( I dont update this nearly enough,I really must change that!) had two sad losses. Gonzo my lovely russiah blue hairless passed away and my gerbil Storm also died, leaving Rayne alone. Rayne was sad for a few days but seems to be doing well now. Gerbils are terrible for pining. Apparently introductions for female gerbils are very tricky too and seldom fail :(

Dexter is still keeping me very busy. I forgot how hard work pups are lol , being so many years since Casey was young. He isn't happy unless he is with me constantly , work on his separation anxiety is on-going, when we went out last week he stayed quite nicely in his crate with the aid of a kong and a bone. So hopefully he will go from strength to strength. But being as i suspect part doberman he will stay very much a velcro dog. Other issues are his ability to destroy toys, we are on the hunt for some really tough ones, the extra strong kong toy has held up so far. He had a puppy play date with a gorgeous staffy puppy , who returns this weekend so that shall have to be a blog entry with some pictures lol

Getting onto me being on limited movement, on sunday evening I stood on a plug in my garage and now have two holes in my foot , and it is incredibly sore. Dexter of course doesnt understand this and keeps veering dangeously close to my injured foot, im just waiting for him to hit it. I'm hoping it heals soon because hes wondering why I'm not playing with him so much..poor pup
