Hurricane Ophelia brought Red Dust from the Sahara.
But Zara isn't Red. Zara is Yellow.
I'm Yellow.
Pickle is Black.
Anyway, who said Pickle could Lie on MY Bed?
Go Away and Bother Milly.
Pickle Never Stops.
Zara has Three Speeds. Slow, Slower and Stop.
Will Hurricane Pickle bring Black Dust?
Hello Pip - We had Halloween last evening. Children I don't know came to our front door and persons gave them things from a bowl. Dudley and I were barricaded upstairs. Persons say there would be no dogs rushing the door and barking. I didn't mind. I slept on my upstairs bed. Dudley paced and moaned. Persons told him to stop, but he didn't. Halloween is more fun when I can run up to the door and greet the children. Sometimes I used to push past them and run into the front yard. It was very exciting. Do you have Halloween where you live? Persons do not believe in making dogs wear costumes, and I am glad. Doyle
ReplyDeleteMy Person doesn't believe in dogs wearing costumes either. She is a spoil-sport on Halloween. She turns the front lights off and locks the gate. Lots of ringing on the doorbell makes Pickle bark too much and it upsets Milly. I just ignore it now that I am old. When i was young I would bark and get excited. I love people. Person says in your country you make much more of Halloween than we do. Bye bye Doyle. Speak again soon I hope.
ReplyDeleteOur house is not a happy house right now. Dudley is in a cone. He is not happy. Persons are worried about him. He has licked sores on two toes on one of his front paws. Persons cannot find a thorn or burr in his toes. They put medicine on his toes, and he licks it off. So he must be in the cone. He shakes when they put the cone on him. They are out at work in the day and can't leave him home to lick his toes. I hope he is better soon. The man person said he is going to call our Aunt Joanne to see what she says. Aunt Joanne is what we call our vet and she loves me best. Doyle
ReplyDeleteOh dear Poor Dudley. I hope Auntie Joan can help him. Person asks is he stressed? Sometimes dog lick themselves when they are stressed. There can be other reasons for excessive licking https://thesciencedog.wordpress.com/2014/03/27/mr-licks-a-lot/
ReplyDeleteIt will soon be winter here. It's getting cold. I don't like cold because I have a Thin Coat. Person puts a dog coat on me.
Tell me how you get on with Dudley. I hope you are a good boy and not Taking Advantage when he has the cone on. We call it a Lampshade. x
We are going to see Aunt Joanne this afternoon. The man person has wrapped a long white strip around Dudley's paw and put a lot of tape on it. Persons say he seems to be leaving it alone. When he goes outside, he has to have a plastic bag over it. Dudley is okay. He doesn't boss me around so I don't need to boss him around. I get my food first and my treats first. Dudley doesn't like toys. I like toys. I have stuffed toys and balls and the antlers I found, which are my treasures. We get along just fine, though I don't know why he's getting all this special attention just because he has a sore paw. Persons put lavender oil on him. His person before did that and she says it comforts him. I was feeling left out, so I got some lavender oil too. Doyle
ReplyDeleteHow did Dudley get on with Aunt Joanne? Is he ok?
ReplyDeleteThe man person took Dudley to see Aunt Joanne. I went with them. Aunt Joanne said that what Dudley has is like a hot spot. I have never had a hot spot, but person said the Labradors would sometimes get them, especially in the summer. Sometimes I get tired of hearing about how wonderful the Labradors were. Anyway Dudley got a shot that she said was something called a steroid. He has to take pills called antibiotic. He has a bandage. Today while persons are out at work, he is in the cone again. He did not shake so hard this morning when the woman person put it on him. He is also getting some yogurt so he doesn't get diarrhea from the antibiotic. Dudley's person before us said to do that. I got some yogurt too. I never had it before, but I think it's good. Do you ever eat yogurt, Pip? Person said to tell your person she will look at the link about excessive licking. It is getting cold here too. We have had some snow already, but it didn't stay on the ground yet. Doyle
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that Something is Being Done about poor Dudley's Hot Spot. It's winter here now so the only Hot Spot I can find is beside the radiator. I am half Labrador and half Saluki. I've never had Yogurt. Poor Milly has a Split in her Nose. She has had it for a long time but she has never been to the vet since Person had her at 4 months. She is now 10 years old. This is because she was in such a Scared State. She is a very healthy dog. Person has been putting Sudocreme on her nose. Milly tries to escape but Person gives her a big treat afterwards. It's getting a bit better. Bye bye Doyle. Speak again soon I hope.
