Dog for Sale . . .

A  guy is driving around the back woods  of  Montana  and he sees a sign in front of  a broken  down shanty-style house:

‘Talking  Dog For Sale ‘

He rings  the  bell and  the owner appears and tells him the dog  is in the  backyard.

The guy goes into the  backyard and sees a nice looking  Scottish Terrier sitting  there..

‘You  talk?’ he asks.

‘Yep,’  the Lab replies.

After  the guy recovers from the shock of  hearing a dog talk, he says  ‘So, what’s  your story?’

The  Scottie looks up and says, ‘Well, I  discovered  that  I could talk when I was pretty  young…….. I wanted to help the government, so I  told  the CIA.

In  no time at all they had me jetting  from  country to  country, sitting in rooms with  spies and  world leaders, because no one figured  a  dog would be  eavesdropping.’

‘I  was one of their most valuable spies for  eight  years  running…….  But  the jetting around really tired me  out,  and  I knew I wasn’t  getting any younger  so I  decided to settle down. I signed up for a  job  at  the airport to do some  undercover  security, wandering  near suspicious characters  and  listening  in. I uncovered some  incredible
dealings  and was awarded a batch of  medals.’  ‘I  got married, had a  mess  of puppies, and now I’m just  retired.’

The  guy is amazed. He goes back in and  asks  the  owner what he wants for the  dog.

‘Ten  dollars,’ the guy says.

‘Ten dollars?  This dog is amazing! Why  on  earth  are you selling him so  cheap?’

‘Because  he’s a liar.  He’s never been out of  the yard’

Wound-up on Wednesday!

Us, being good ....?

Oh boy! Have we been naughty. Not that we meant to be. Perhaps it’s Her really. We’ve just come in from a jolly jaunt around Codnor Reservoir. We think we’ve behaved pretty well – She doesn’t.

Apparently Gus stopped at EVERY Fisherman’s patch in search of food. Probably looking for bread, but seeing as most of them use maggots, She was not happy about that! Not only that, but he did HIS usual : stopping at EVERY blade of grass to snniiiiiifffff!

Bobby acted like he’d NEVER been out on a walk EVER (he’s like that everyday, so not much difference there then). She hopes that maybe one day, just one day he’ll act normal like!

And me, Fin, well ….. She thinks I might have Gall Bladder problems that’s why I keep stopping and waiting a few seconds before wanting to move on. She let me off the lead round the Reservoir so that I could amble at my own pace. Let myself down though, ‘cos I saw a SQUIRREL and of course, it needed chasing – Gall Bladder issues completely erased – I was a perky as perky could be!

So, here we are back home, trying to be nice, not that we think we need to be as we don’t think we’re in the wrong! Anyway, She’ll calm down soon, usually Wound-Up Wednesday’s work themselves into being Wine on Wednesday – roll on 5pm, She’ll be happy then.

RoooOOOooodles to you all

 

Terrier Tourettes!

~ Sparhawk Scotties ~ 2 Comments

“What!” we hear you cry …. “Terrier Tourettes. What do you mean?”

Well, They have decided that Bobby has Tourettes. On Walks. Only on walks. On minute he’s a perfectly normal Scottie (ha! ha! really ….?) then when he see’s another dog, he begins to shake and tremble, then surges towards poor dog … then barks like mad! After about 20 seconds, its all over and they are best of fur-ends … sniffing bums and stuff, chasing and generally just being nice dogs!

She doesn’t like it ‘cos Bobby sounds crazy. He just wants to play and run, but doesn’t know how to ask nicely. We, Fin and Gus, we are gentlemen. Politely waiting for others to approach, or we calmly walk up to them and introduce ourselves. Meanwhile, Bobby is either back on his lead, or being carried passed “the problem” till he’s calmed down, then he’s allowed to play.

The most weird thing of all though, is that Bobby has obtained his Gold Obedience Training award, and has given Obedience demonstrations including one to a Scottie Breed Club!

Does anyone else have a weird scottie fur-end out there? If so, why not tell us about them. The more funny stories the better.

Tuesday Tantrum!

Sparhawks at the pub

There will be if we don’t get to go out!

Dad came home from work extra early yesterday, and so we thought we’d take Them to the pub across the fields.

We had a lovely couple of hours all in all. The weather was just perfect. And soon after we got back home, we had our dinner – yummy!

However, this morning there’s talk about NOT GOING OUT TODAY! Just because we went on two walks yesterday does not mean we don’t get to go out the next day!

We’ve told her how unfair that is. Soooooooo ……. she said we would go out later.

As it happens, we always go out much later on a Tuesday ….. so it’s win win for everyone and Tuesday Tantrum is kicked into touch.

Do your Peeps make up these silly rules?
