The doghouse

What is your dog doing today?

GuacDog seems distinctly bored with me this afternoon as I work from home.

So far today our activities have been

  • 40 minute walk through field including off lead zooming and playing ball
  • Had a frozen carrot
  • 15 minutes round the block at lunch
  • Filled his holey ball with hidden treats in old socks


Plus going in and out the garden, plenty of head scratches, barking at an invisible cat etc, mainly napping in a patch of sun.

I'm now getting sad face and sighing so I'm clearly not interesting enough OR he wants an extra meal.

What are your dogs up to?

Bella went a walk this morning, then breakfast, then she went to the groomers with Eric. Exh collected her for me so she went back to his with Eric for a playdate. Then she came home and snoozed for a bit because it's tiring being groomed. More food, another snooze and then bed at 8pm as usual

Dpup ran out the door for her morning walk, yet decided half way to the park she had enough of the rain and did an abrupt turn towards home. Watched tennis on TV with me this afternoon. Sadly for me not such a fair weather pup this evening, big loop of the park and still needed to play ball when we got home.

Ddog has a good 90 minutes off lead up the wood this morning - then to the pet shop where he got suitably fussed, then home for a bath!

Then breakfast and a new chew, and after that he pretty much slept all day, waking to go to the toilet and play chase with the kitten!

Avoiding the rain! I did throw some chopped up sausage on to the patio to get her outside for a sniff and a wee. But she’s really a fair weather beast 😊

Poor boy has landed awkwardly on his front leg causing him to limp. Thankfully the vet has given us painkillers. But am under strict instruction not to walk him- having to occupy/stimulate him for 10 straight hours really takes me back to the puppy stages. So far he has been given new tennis balls and a massive sloth off amazon to preoccupy him. Will be hitting Pets at Home tomorrow. He has me wrapped around his paw!

He's having a nice lie down on the sofa, having ripped up a toilet roll tube filled with treats. My husband and I are both working from home today, so he gets a bit tired and needs to sleep otherwise all the attention gets to him.

We're going to go on a walk in an hour or so.

We went out on the trails this morning then adult ds and dd came for breakfast so Bella and ds had their lovefest (she absolutely loves him) as per usual. She has been supervising me pegging out the washing and keeping a close eye on the fence just in case neighbour dares to go in his garden. Snoozed much of the afternoon but expect her to start pestering within an hour for her next walk (she has a very good internal clock) then it will be more food and general mooching before she takes herself off to bed around 8pm.

My two had their walks early, one is now sunbathing in the back garden, and the other is being a pest in the lounge 😂

PestDog crawled out of bed at about 9.30am and then went for a sunbathing nap in the garden, using my grow bags as a pillow Hmm

Took him for a walk at lunchtime for about 3 hours and he went swimming in the river. He did think it was too hot to do anything more than polite bum sniffing with other dogs. Came back and went for some peace and quiet while I did the garden.

DDog2 - has been to the seaside with us, had a run on the beach, shared our fish and chips and had a battered sausage to himself and is now spark out on the sofa, emitting the occasional sausage fart.


DDog1 (much older, can’t cope with crowds or heat) has just had her evening walk and is stretched out on the cool kitchen floor.

dd has also taught him some tricks today, and he is racing around with a squeaky duck, rather than go to bed (which is imminent)

today pup had a lovely play with three other dogs of varying ages in the local small park, at 10am, when none of the Easter families were yet about. Then he slept most of the day, chilled in the garden, kept tipping his water out on the grass (most perplexing). He has just been on a very long and hot pavement walk )we stayed on the shady side mostly, and came back by bus)finishing in a beautiful park where it was all a bit too busy, picnics everywhere and a lot of dogs being walked by families who were too busy to play Sad..well just wanted to keep walking rather than meet other dogs. Remind me that walking in the early morning or in the week is much the best...

Ddog is a bit hot, he's hiding in a den he has made under a bush. Next doors dd has her paddling pool out so he will probably venture around there shortly (fence is porous) for a dip, currently their dog is lying on my deckchair avoiding the pool and water pistols

DD very very good sleeping at our feet so we could enjoy a second drink in peace before long tiddly walk home. Chicken and veg dinner for the dog then waiting for us to go to bed at the end of lovely day.

Both currently barking at nothing. In about 20 minutes DDG1 and I are going for a 3 mile walk, then DDG2 and I are going to Grandma's for our usual Sunday lunch. Once DH is home we'll walk them up the field so they can have a play.

Chestypup is currently snoozing on the sofa as got her up at 6 am to go out to pee to avoid “parcels” in the kitchen.

Her plans include play session for an hour at the training centre followed by training class 2hours later.
Interspersed with trips into the garden to chew the fence and pick up every sodding stone she can find Angry

I’m hoping she’ll end the day with snoozing on my chest watching a film rather than the squeaky ball at a million decibels, scratch at the door, outside, inside, outside, Bitey barkey fling my toys around the room episodes she likes to have when I’m ready to settle down Grin
