Conditioning

Person is giving us Magic Tablets.  

 

CONDITIONING TABLETS with Brewers Yeast.

Hmmmm. I know all about Person and her Conditioning. 

I hear her at her desk Talking to Invisible Persons about Conditioning. 

"You must Condition Your Dog to Come When Called".

I am Conditioned Not to Chase Little Pickle. 

Milly is Conditioned to Lie Down when a Someone Comes In. 

 

Pickle is Conditioned to Get Excited whenever Person stands up. She may Take Us Out.

(Person tries to UNcondition him by Sitting Down again). Maybe a Magic Tablet will do the trick.

We do it for food really. 

Anyway, Person says Silly Milly is Less Anxious.

Person says that Monty the Mont has More Energy.

Person says I have a Lovely Coat and the Hair on my Tummy is Growing. 

So, why can't Conditioning Tablets Condition Pickle to Stop Pickling?.

I'm just checking what he is Getting Up To behind me, 

And what Zara has been Eating that she shouldn't.

Hmmmmmm. I wonder.... If Person were to give Pickle Extra Conditioning Tablets, could he be Conditioned Not to Annoy Me?

Keeping Cool

We have a New Paddling Pool. Old Paddling Pool Developed a Hole.

(Milly Developed the Hole in Old Paddling Pool. I saw her).

 Pickle Gets INTO Water.

Little Pickle tries to Get INTO our Drinking Water Bowl too.

He gets his Front Feet in our Water Bowl.

He Digs the Water out out All Over the Floor.

Anyway, Zara can Pant and Carry a Ball at the same time.

And Monty the Mont has Developed a Hunger. He wants his Tea.

Eating Water

Today it is HOT.

Pickle is Eating Water.

We have a Water Fountain coming out of the Willow Tree Arch.

One day Monty the Mont hopes to Catch the Water.

Person says Silly Milly gets Drunk in Water. 

Milly Drunk?  

It's the Water that's Drunk by me.

Anyway, I only like Water from the Drinking Bucket. 

NOT from a Fountain in the Willow Tree Arch.

NOT in a Pool.

And NOT coming out of the Sky.

Dead Baby Mole

We all are WAITING. Waiting till we are ALL Calm.

Waiting for Pickle to be Calm.

WAITING to go into the Field.



But where's Pickle? (where's Wally?).

Anyway, today Pickle dug a Mole Hill. Pickle dug up a Baby Mole and Zara helped him.

Now he is Protecting his Baby Mole.

He didn't Mean to Kill it. It Just Died.

Milly wants the Dead Baby Mole. Zara wants the Dead Baby Mole.

Pickle doesn't Growl.

 
Person says she is Proud of us because we Don't Quarrel over Dead Baby Moles.

But Person says she's Sad. Sad for a Baby Mole. SAD??

I'm not interested in Baby Moles and nor is Monty the Mont.

I'm not quite sure what Sad is.....

....unless it's what I feel when Person stops me Chasing Little Pickle.

Anyway, Little Pickle has now given his Dead Baby Mole to Person in exchange for a Marrowbone Markie and we can at last go into the Sitting Room.

May NOT Day

Yesterday was May Day.

Yesterday was May NOT Day for Little Pickle.

May NOT Annoy Monty.

May NOT Dig Holes. 

May NOT Bark.

May NOT Steal Milly's Bone.

May NOT Corner Zara under the bench. 

May Not Scramble Over the Barrier. 

I Just Watch.   

I'm a Good Boy 

 

I'm Tweeting to Myself

I learnt to TWEET. 

I prefer to WOOFF really.

But  - I'm Tweeting to Myself. 

Is this the First Sign of Madness?

Talk to me on Twitter. Please.

I don't want to be a Mad Dog. 

Or a Mad Bird.

It's Pickle again

How can it be Person's Birth Day Today?

Person's Birth Day was FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THREE YEARS ago.

Person's Today Birth Day Did Not Start Well.

All because of Pickle's Pickling.

Pickle JUMPED over the Field Fence to catch a Blackbird.

Person threw Food on the ground so Pickle Dropped the Blackbird.

Person popped the Blackbird over the High Fence.

So Little Pickle DUG a BIG HOLE under the High Fence.

Pickle's Feet were Muddy.

Pickle's Nose was Muddy.

Person was Not Pleased with Pickle.

Anyway, Person is Pleased with ME on her Birth Day.

I don't Catch Blackbirds. I don't Jump over the Field Fence. I don't Dig under the High Fence.

I am a GOOD BOY.

DING DONG

DING DONG.

It's the doorbell.

Zara was Spayed last week. 

DING DONG

Person says Zara is Spayed so she can't Have Baby Dogs. Person says it's to stop Pickle Bothering her.

I hope Zara Spayed stops Pickle Bothering ME also. 

It hasn't yet.

DING DONG

Zara Must Not Jump. Zara Must Not Stretch. Zara Must Not Charge About the place.

DING DONG 

Zara did not Eat for a Whole Day!

The next morning Zara gave a Big Stretch with her front legs. She gave a Big Stretch with her Back Legs.

Zara Jumped onto the Chair.

Zara Charged About after Pickle.

DING DONG

Anyway, Person is 'Desensitising Us to the Doorbell'.

DING DONG DING DONG

Here is a Picture of us all our in our Dog Den while the Doorbell goes DING DONG.

 

We are DESENSITISED.

Can she Desensitise me to Pickle?

I have a New Coat

Person says Zara is a Good Girl.

Zara is such a Goody Goody.

Zara is such a GREEDY Goody Goody.

Zara is always Looking For Something To Eat.

Monty the Mont used always to be Looking For Something To Eat.

But Monty the Mont has been in HOSPITAL.

Monty went to Hospital because he was no longer Eating Quickly.

I don't Eat Quickly. I Eat SLOWLY.

I Crunch Crunch Crunch. One bit at a time.

Monty, Milly, Pickle and Zara watch me and DROOOOOOL. Especially Zara.

Anyway, it's snowing outside.

Person has bought me a New Coat. 

It's because I'm Skinny. 

And because I am a Good Boy.

Monty the Mont is now Eating again. 

Monty isn't Skinny.

A Dog in a Manger

Baby Jesus was Born in a Manger. 

I was Born in Rescue Kennels. Little Pickle was Born in Gun Dog Kennels.

Little Pickle is only quiet when He Lays Down His Head.  

Person thinks he has a Sweet Head. I DON'T! Nor does Monty the Mont.

Baby Jesus received Gold and Frankinsense and Myrrh.

Little Pickle Collects our Bones, Stagbars and Balls. 

He Flaunts them. 

I IGNORE him.

 

Anyway, Monty the Mont is Eating Slowly. Usually Monty WOLFS his food down.

Monty the Mont will be NINE YEARS OLD tomorrow.

Person will take Monty to see Charles the Vet on his Birthday to find out why he's Eating Slowly. 

I Eat Slowly. 

I Eat Slowly so that Monty, Milly, Pickle and Zara Watch me. 

I Chew each piece. Crunch Crunch Crunch.

Monty, Milly, Pickle and especially Zara DROOOOOL. 

Who's sitting in MY chair?

Pickle in MY CHAIR!

Monty the Mont is asking Little Pickle to Play. Why would Monty want to Play with Pickle, I wonder?

Pickle doesn't Play Properly.

Little Pickle just Runs About Wagging his Tail and Pickling.

Person went to see French Bulldog Enzo. Enzo BOWS, but it's not a Play Bow.

Enzo is Mixed Up, Person says. 

Mixed up with What?

I'm not Mixed Up with anything. I'm just a Pip.

Anyway, Pickle Jumped off to Steal Zara's Stagbar, so I got MY CHAIR back.

Picking Blackberries

Here I am, picking Blackberries. Zara, Monty the Mont and Milly are Picking Blackberries.

 

Little Pickle isn't Picking Blackberries. 

Pickle is Pickling. 

Anyway, I had a Nasty SHOCK. Person brought home another New Dog.

A Boxer Dog. Her name is Daisy.

Daisy Dog is a Stooge Dog for Person's Owner Training.

Stooge Dog? 

Why can't I be Persons' Stooge Dog?

I could Play Catch Me If You Can if I was Person's Stooge Dog.

Anyway, Daisy Dog doesn't Run. Daisy Dog doesn't Eat Blackberries.

Diasy Dog is BORING. 

I'm NOT boring.

I can TWEET!

@Pipthelurcher


I'm not a Canary. Nor a Blackbird. Nor a Parrot. Nor an Owl. I'm not a Bird at all. But I can Still Tweet.

Someone Tweeted 'Dog Particle Explained'.

I Tweeted 'Oh Good'.

More and More People are Following Me. I like this.

It Helps to Keep Me IN FRONT.

Monty the Mont can't Tweet. Neither can Milly. Neither can Zara.

Little Pickle Certainly Can't Tweet. He Can HOOOOWL.

Pickle Howls with the Vacuum Cleaner.

Person shuts him in his Crate.

Anyway, here I am Social Networking with Monty, Zara - and even Little Pickle...for now.

And here I am Social Networking with Milly and the Dog Down the Road.

One Nice Day then More Rain

We had a SUNNY Day!

Little Pickle and Zara played with Little GrandSonPerson Eddie.

Person sat down with Milly. Person held her Lead.

Little Persons Move SUDDENLY. Little Persons RUN. Little Persons make NOISE.

Milly can be Scared of Little Persons.

Person always Keeps Little Persons Safe. Person always Keeps Milly Safe.

Milly Watched. Milly was Happy just Watching.

I Like Little GrandSonPerson Eddie. Monty the Mont Likes Little GrandSonPerson Eddie.

He Smells of Little Boys. We Sniff him and then we take little notice of him.

Little Pickle and Zara Follow Him About.

And then it Started to Rain Again - Rain Rain Rain.

Zara likes the Rain. Person took this picture of a Wet Zara.

You can see ME behind her. I am on my Important Chair.

Rain doesn't stop Little Pickle from Pickling.


I don't like Rain. I stay Indoors if I can. Monty the Mont stays indoors if he can.

Milly likes ACTION. Milly Likes Rain.

Anyway, here is Milly SMILING

I can't Smile. I have tried.

Rain

Person wanted to Catch a Photo of Pickle, but Pickle Never Stops Pickling.

He Jumps Off the Bench.

He Runs Down the Bank.

He Runs Off with a Red Ball.

Tail Wag Wag Wag Wag.

Pickle Pickles Off into the Distance.

Every Day has been RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN.

Then One Day SUNSHINE.

So, Person Cut the Grass.

I Like to Eat Cut Grass. Monty the Mont likes to Eat Cut Grass. So does Milly.

Anyway, the Rain made our Feet Dirty.

Our Feet made our Bed Dirty.

So here is our New Dog Den Duvet Bed.

And here is Milly, SMILING
