Merry Christmas


Woof!

Merry Christmas everybody! Hope you all have a wonderful day and get all you wished for. It's my first ever Christmas, I'm so excited with all the gifts and pretty trees and all the going out and seeing people, I absolutely love Christmas!!! So far today I have had a special breakfast of fresh chicken and ham, and also got to open some of my presents, oooo it's so fun ripping them open and finding nice treats inside.

Igaboo just wants me to remember that Christmas is not happy for everyone, so please think about those who have less or are alone. Igaboo was made to spend Christmas alone last year, and she said it was the worst Christmas day she ever had, so luckily she has little puppy dog Dexy to be with her this year, I've been giving her lots of hugs and puppy kisses to remind her that she's not alone, she just seems a little sad.

So think about the true spirit of Christmas, make a stranger smile, make your family proud, make your friends happy, let people know how much they mean to you, share love. And if you really try, you can even make somebody you love have their dreams come true.

Merry Christmas

Winter's here!


Woof!

Hello again people, I'm very excited today because of all the snow! I weren't too sure of it to begin with but once I was leaping around in the stuff I discovered it was o so much fun! It has been snowing for a few days now, but this morning was the first where it was nice and deep and good for fluffing up and covering myself in it. I've also recently discovered ice, and that is seriously fun to skate on, I like doing circles on my icy patio!

This my first ever winter, and Igaboo is doing everything she can to make sure I stay safe and healthy. Neither of us were too sure of how I would react to ice and snow, but like most dogs, I love it, it's fun to run in and sniff about it, it's o so different and new! I even had a go at trying to make snow angels, but I just made a messy dog shaped hole in the snow, Igaboo didn't seem to want to participate, well, her lost! She's too concerned making sure I stay warm, I have a coat for when I'm out on proper walks, but if I'm just in our garden then I don't wear one because I'm only out there for about 10 minutes. It's important to be aware of how long a lil puppy is out in the cold, and to make sure it's not too long so your lil pup doesn't get too cold. A coat is fantastic for this as it can lengthen walks in the wintertime. It's also essential to dry me off when we get inside, I have tufts of long fur and lots of snow had stuck to them, and all the moistness of it made me quite wet, but its essential to dry me off because it could freeze and having cold water near my skin isn't going to do me any favours, luckily I like the hair dryer, so always get a spruce with one when I get in!

This afternoon I'm going to be having a relax and then I know Igaboo will be taking me for another walk later on, just because it's cold doesn't mean you should lack a regular walking routine. My only trouble is I wanna be out in the snow all day it's so fun, I'm even naughty enough to not come when called like I normally would because of how fun snow is! I'm going for a snooze now and see what other Christmas decorations I can reach and destroy.....

Toy Thief!

Just a quick one to alert you to Igaboo, the toy thief. She stole all my toys and I had to fight to get them. Here's my evidence. Ooooo that naughty Igaboo!

Micro-Pup


Woof!

hello again, today I have exciting news, I got microchipped today! And for the record, I did not enjoy it one bit.

It all started off with a routine visit to my vet to check my little puppy, baby teeth, as they are coming out, and whilst we were there Igaboo decided it was time for me to be chipped. The whole process took less than 30 seconds to do, but I did feel a little bit uncomfortable whilst doing it, Igaboo had to hold my body and then hold my head to one side whilst the mean (she's not nice anymore) vet lady put a needle in my nape and inserted the chip. I did squirm and whelped a little bit but as soon as it was over and I had a big cuddle from Igaboo, I was right as rain again like nothing happened. And then the biggest surprise, as we checked my teeth, another one fell out! I now only have one puppy tooth left, so soon I'll be a big doggie!

Igaboo thought the worst part was the needle, she don't like needles and nearly fainted and felt sick she told me, and she weren't even the one having it done! As we were walking home she promised to give my tooth to the puppy tooth fairy who will give me something special for it, and guess what?! When we got home I had some special puppy milk and even pate for my poorly teeth to munch on. I like the puppy tooth fairy, she doesn't make me have injections, or chips, or anything!

Other than all this I've been chilling really, the weather means my walking regime has changed a bit so I'm not out whilst it's too cold in the early morning and night, but I do have my coat now to wear, keeps me very warm and dry out in this November weather. I'm going to be pampered now with a bath and some cuddles to make up for my turmoil earlier, but the way I'm whizzing around the house you'd never know!

Abused? Moi?


Woof!

Hello all, I'm a bit vexed today, well a lot vexed. Today some mean, evil person reported my owner to the RSPCA, reporting I was abandoned and mistreated. Igaboo was not happy. Enough said. The RSPCA are a wonderful charity that receives no government funding yet still venture out everyday to save animals in neglect and nasty places. We both love them, and help them by volunteering at rescue centres, sponsoring other pups and kits, and also donating to the charity, and although Igaboo was angry and upset about the visit, she understood they were merely doing their job and making sure I was ok, trouble is, by being reported falsely caused these two nice inspectors to be effectively wasting their time with me when they could of been with a real emergency.

Igaboo suspects who may have reported her, and maybe even understands their reasoning, but fundamentally she knows it was done through spite and malice. It was a horrible moment to open the door to them and nearly caused a full panic attack in my owner, but after letting them in, they were able to give me a cuddle and soon realised there was nothing wrong. Igaboo had to answer a few questions about how she looks after me, what she feeds me, how often we go for walks, as well as showing them around our home to prove I have a happy, safe environment, which I do! Igaboo would hate to lose me, and just the thought was enough to put her in tears, but the nice people from the RSPCA reassured her that she was doing a great job with me, except maybe giving me one or two extra treats than what I should have, but then noted on the amount of exercise I have, so maybe it's not too many treats!

So we passed our RSPCA inspection, something Igaboo would never like to have to do again, she loves me more than anything else in the world, and everything she does is in my best interests. Maybe the person who reported us was seriously concerned, maybe they have a problem with Igaboo, or maybe they are just horrid, who knows, but if that person is reading my blog biscuit about all their work today then at least you know it had a positive outcome, and I'm all well and fine, so please, stop worrying about me, Igaboo does a fantastic job, and worries enough for me so no else need to.

One lovely thing of our visit from them was whilst they wrote the notes and such, Igaboo was sitting with me on her lap, and looked down at me and said something, and I looked back up at her, the lovely thing was the reaction of the officers. They said how lovely we looked just looking at each other, pure innocent love between a pet an their owner. It really made Igaboo smile to hear a stranger, let alone an animal welfare expert, say such a lovely thing. So yes, me Dexy Do Dah Dog is fine, I'm safe, I'm happy, and the only thing I'm at risk from is being spoilt! Now just to calm Igaboo down with some cuddles, she is very angry, I'm much too young to repeat what she is saying!

Black Ops Dexy


Woof!

The name's Do Dah, Dexy Do Dah, and this weekend I have been involved in some super secret things, so much so I now think I'm a spy dog! It all started when Igaboo wanted to go out, but also wanted to spend time with me, so how do you solve that? Well you sneak me in places I shouldn't be, luckily I'm only little and can fit into many small places!

Firstly I went into London to sniff and snuff around Westminster, those politicians smell fishy to me, I also made friends with a couple of coppers, they were very nice and had a pooch too! Amber was a huge doggie, and very well trained, I had a play with her, well, we made it look like play, but in fact she was divulging some important info on sausages and bones, I will never reveal her secrets! London was good fun and I got snuck into many places where doggies aren't allowed, we got caught once, but I turned on my Dexy charm and we were off for our next adventure!

I've also been practising the art of ambush, o it's such fun! I've been hiding behind my big toys, or behind doors waiting for Igaboo to walk past and then- Dexy Attack! I don't actually attack like a monster, I instead go in for the cuddle, or maybe even the sausage, ahhhh, sausages, if only it was a safe world for them we could all sleep easier at night, but whilst my beloved sausages are in peril I shall search, sniff and snuff them all out and save them....for my belly. I've also been trying out my ambush skills outdoors, especially in long grass, the other park doggies watch me like I'm a weirdo, but they'll be sorry when judgement day comes and they are not prepared as I am. I'm very proud of my ambush skills, I mean, I just disappear into my surroundings, my only question is how does Igaboo always find me? It's not like I'm a bright gold against green, actually, not too sure about that, I'm colour-blind!

Other missions I've been doing is internally monitoring, I've learnt to climb as well as a mountain goat and can get onto the front windowsill, so now when Igaboo goes out on a personal mission without me I can sit and keep guard for any sausage bandits, that's me doing it in the picture, I don't know why Igaboo finds it so funny on her return to see me there, does she not know of the dangers of the world?! She is a bit ditzy and forgetful, maybe the enemy is using mind wipe techniques on her? Maybe that's why she forgets her keys in the door all the time, luckily due to my new advantage point I can alert agent Igaboo to her silly ways, she really must stop doing that or the sausage bandits may get me, not that I'm scared, I'm just only brave behind closed doors!

I also went round a few friends houses and practised my black ops skills there too, managing to open doors and break into other rooms to suss out some sausage munching, when my interviewee refused to concede some sausage, I tried some dirty tactics, sitting on their lap, licking their chin whilst they tried to play a silly computer game, although the game was giving me new ideas, need some camo uniforms and a big gun, but how would I fire it without thumbs? I'll check with intelligence for that, anywho, after clearing their areas I was off back home on the bus, but never relaxing, o no, I kept my eye on everyone on the bus, you never know who could be an agent! On getting home I had to survey the area to find any suspect morsels, none to be found, until I go to inspect my food station and find some yummy pate in my bowl, just a quick check for tampering and it was safely filed away in a secret location (my belly).

This morning I had my latest mission, sneaking into Tesco to have a full English breakfast with Agents Igaboo and Spencer, I got snuck in via a large bag and was hidden under the table and fed sausages and bacon, this was a very important mission, I had heard rumours of a Tesco- Sausage bandit alliance, but due to the taste I think they're alright, it was all going well and to plan until I broke my cover and dived under another table when I saw a piece of sausage fall, could this of been a message to the enemy, or simply carelessness, either way, Dexy Do Dah was on it. Unfortunately blowing my cover meant my other agents needed to evacuate the canteen, exposed identities could be dangerous, on leaving I interrogated those bananas that wear pyjamas that always seem to be loitering outside Tesco, sad to say, they gave me the slip!

That's my secret missions for now, I have a few more to do today, I'm going to a special celebration for other brave people who without them we wouldn't have our country and freedom like we do today, Igaboo's Great Grandfather served in both big wars, and so we are going to investigate a remembrance ceremony, hopefully I'll get some good tips off the real hero's, and I love poppies, mine looks really pretty on my collar. So lets keep all this secret sausage for now, and I'll warn you that this blog biscuit will self destruct in 5 seconds...... not really, the most dangerous thing you have to worry about with me is an ambush of puppy kisses!
