Hi. All is well and, temporarily no doubt, quiet here - I am surrounded by dozing dogs. Today the girls and doberdog are sending over some of my christmas cake mix (I know that it is yummy because I have just licked the spoon!). This week's dilemma for David is.....decorating or DoggySnaps......decorating or DoggySnaps......Hmm ..what a choice! Sadly I have a feeling that it will have to be ..decorating.....otherwise another "D" word..........divorce..........might feature. Have fun x

THE JOYS OF DOG OWNERSHIP....CHAPTER 4. ("Ahs" not "Urghs"). DOBERDOG. Max has given up barking, instead he is quite clearly saying "Rolf". He has always been quite articulate, once when he was begging at the dining table I told him that he could have some ham if he could say "gammon". Ten minutes later he said "gammon". He hasn't worked out however that it doesn't work if we are eating fish, steak, shepherds pie etc. He also has yet to manage to say "pease pudding"! Anyway Rolf. I am uncertain as to whether he is calling for Rolf Harris to put him on a pet programme or, alternatively, he has a friend called Rolf, in this life or a previous one. Advice wanted. THE GIRLS. They were asleep in the sitting room, Sarika on the sofa, Purdey on the floor. Purdey was having something of a nightmare judging by the squeaky barking and whimpering. This was getting louder and more frequent. As I went to her Sarika overtook me and started to gently lick her face, clearly comforting her. It was one of those wonderful moments and I nearly cried. ME On the phone late last night with work people in the USA, the dogs were in bed. I went to the loo for a pee on my way to bed. Thought I wouldn't flush because I did not want to disturb the dogs. DID NOT WANT TO DISTURB THE DOGS! What is that all about? I think that they have finally taken complete control of my life. And do you know something? I really don't mind. TREATS. Relevant today. First a Didgeridoo (just in case it is THAT Rolf and he turns up), then a mug of Horlicks (gives untroubled sleep apparently) and finally a loo with a silent flush (just in case it is Number 2s next time!!!). Have fun x

THE JOYS OF DOG OWNERSHIP....CHAPTER 135. Purdey, the hairy gundog - grey version - was spayed two weeks ago today. As usual, after such an operation, she was allowed restricted exercise and had to kept on the lead. She had her second post-op review late last week. She was passed 100% fit and "ready to run". Took her home from the vets, got changed and out for a walk. Off to the fields and let her off the lead. WOW. I did not know she could run that fast. My amusement at her obvious joy to be free quickly turned to dismay when she spotted what I can only assume was the Eighth Wonder of The World - a pile of deer poo so high that I imagine that the deer responsible was thirty foot tall! She rolled in it, not once, not twice BUT three times. I got her back and attached the lead to her collar which was filthy. I then walked the very smelly hairy gundog (previously grey) home, hoping not to meet anyone I knew on the way. A considerable time was then spent with shampoo and tomato sauce, cleaning and de-smelling the little xxx. I was tempted to write an advertisement for the local newspaper "dogs for sale" columns but decided to pour a large glass of wine instead. Half way througfh the second I began to feel quite mellow!..........Today's treat from Sarika (who, being a princess, is above that sort of thing) and Max (who is too old for all that messing around) and my Bambi equivalent is some shampoo and, of course, a bottle of tomato sauce...best to be prepared! Have fun.

My mother's illness has meant that I have had no time to do a treating tour for nearly a fortnight. Today's visit coincides with the wonderful news that she is definitely improving, still a way to go but it is a start. And now...the dogs are all well, Purdey very quickly making a 100% recovery from her spay operation. However she was not in my good books yesterday as she, a ball point pen and a fawn carpet had a "coming together". Sarika is, as always, a princess and Max is quite clearly enjoying touring the kitchen in his bed - a now daily occurence thanks to the girls. As for Rodney/Roberta the snail....did you know that snail slime is so thick that a snail can cross a razor blade without getting hurt? Well, personally, I think that might depend upon who is holding the razor - bring it on Rodders! Today's treat is some of my smoked salmon followed by key lime pie. Enjoy.

Hi. Just rung the vet and Purdey's spay operation went well and she has come round after the anaesthetic. PHEW. Bit of a tearful moment that was. Collecting her at 5pm. And now back to the usual stuff......You might have read the thread started by Spinrule in The Lampost about the new cosmetic product - snail slime gel. Well after quite a bit of effort I have managed to collect some from Rodney the snail (who is still answering to the name Roberta, the little ...!) and this is today's treat from the girls and doberdog. Use sparingly because there isn't that much but it might get rid of a wrink! Oh and I've added a piece of rump steak too. Enjoy.

Hi, today's story is titled THE LIFE OF A TENNIS BALL. Hello, I am an orange tennis ball called Federer. I have just been purchased by a human with one of those sling thingys that means he can throw me further for his dogs to chase. We are in the field to practice before he brings the dogs. I am in the sling and he has thrown me, goodness he does not know his own strength. I am going so high a jumbo jet pilot has just waved at me. And now I am falling...falling..falling..and now I am going to hit the ground..BOUNCE.. Weee.. and now I am going up high again..Hello Mr Pilot..and now down..BOUNCE and up..and down..BOUNCE .. what is that noise?..Oh it is a machine...Oh I am going towards it...Oh it is a tractor....Oh dear I am heading for its whe.......POP. THE END. Well that was a great start to the day! Not surprisingly, today's treat from the girls and doberdog is a glass of orange squash and an orange tennis ball, slightly squashed. Have fun.

Hi. Well that was a great couple of days - NOT. First I have to deal with the issue of Rodney the snail who, despite counselling, still refuses to answer to any name other than Roberta. The words "garlic" and "butter" are coming to mind. And now we have the stick incident. Walking the girls this morning in the woods and chanced upon a dog poo on one of the tracks. Picked up a stick and flicked the particularly runny errant poo off the track. Threw stick into the woods. Suddenly there was a flash of ginger (well, russet gold) as Sarika flashed by into the woods, retrieved the stick and brought it back very proudly. That was fine, but as she donated it to me guess which end brushed against my trousers? Go on, guess! In sympathy for my predicament today's treat on behalf of the girls and doberdog is some Vanish stain removing spray.......Oh, alright then...and a fillet steak. Oops, got to go as Purdey has decided to improve her linguistic skills by eating a French/English dictionary. Have fun.

Morning. Just back from the river and in a rush to visit our mates before a large family gathering - SNOOZE. Today's treat from the girls and doberdog is a seared tuna steak (marinated in soy sauce, coriander, chilli and ginger), new potatoes and mixed salad. Followed by strawberries, blueberries and raspberries dressed with a white chocolate sauce. Yummy. PS No sign of Rodney the snail since our return HOWEVER there is a snail looking just like Rodney but who is only answering to the name Roberta. What do we do now?

MAJOR RECALL PROBLEM. I need help, you might think, after reading this, in more ways than one. When the girls were younger I sorted out their recall quite quickly, helped by the liver treats suggested by Pollydog, Purdey particularly got the idea straightaway. Well, it is Rodney. He does not seem to have a clue what is going on. As he is a snail, I obviously expected him to come back a bit slower than young hairy gundogs but there is nothing, no response at all. Any tips that you or your humans can come up with would be much appreciated. In advance, as a thank you, the girls and doberdog are sending over a Sainsbury sultana scone with clotted cream and strawberry jam. I am just about to have one and it looks delish. Enjoy. PS Do you think Rodney might be deaf? If so, how do I tell? Do you think my medication is working?

Not on here yesterday as had to nip over to Paris (tough life!), which, considering my Sunday, was highly appropriate. I ended up catching 87 froglets - yes I know I am a saddo for counting - all of which are now resident in an area with a stream. The dogs are all fine although I have just booked Purdey in for her spay (Monday July 23rd) - Eek, something else to worry about. She, doberdog and the world champion (unofficial) are sending you a chinese meal from our local takeaway as a treat - one portion of number 42, one of number 50, one of number 27, one of number 88 and, of course, one of number 57. I guess you will make of it what you will!!!! Enjoy. PS RODNEY THE SNAIL IS BACK. At least I think it Rodney, Sarika clearly wanted to kiss him - well, I think it was a kiss she had in mind!

Hi. In a rush today as currently involved in a frog hunt. For some unknown reason I have an inundation of baby (less than an inch long) frogs in the garden. I have no idea from where they have come or to where they are going. Collecting them (36 so far) seems a better idea than letting the dogs scoff them! Today's treat from the girls and doberdog is reptilian in nature - alligator steak, salad and, bizarrely, a jug of chocolate sauce, apparently it goes well! Enjoy. PS Brainy daughter's arm is a lot better: still no sign of Rodney the snail, recall was never his strong point!
