Tripe Night!

Ok, here’s what we had for Tea tonight:

The usual veggiemush with DE and Kelp

Some left-over chicken with cream cheese!

Peas and carrots

Potatoes in cheese sauce

all mixed with a generous helping of …

Minced green Tripe!!!!! our total favourite!!!!! It’s such a pity we haven’t got ‘Smelly Vision’. You’d LOVE it!

Notice how Miss Fussy isn’t lying on her back because she doesn’t want to finish her dinner? Well, she got it all over her nose.

Later on I helped dad do the washing up.

It’s been a fairly busy week this week. On Wednesday I went exploring!

Mum’s clients came 20 minutes too early and she hurriedly put us in the kitchen behind the babygate with access to the side garden (You know … it used to be my puppy garden)  This is all ok and the usual routine and while Mum started to work I had a little look around what’s new in the side garden … and what should I find …

… What Luck! … she left the gate open for me!  Through I went to have a sniff around her clients car … and what do I find?

Escape2

She’d left the garden gate open for me too! GREAT! I’ll have a little look around. I met a lady with one of those two-wheeled things that Mum sometimes rides around on … ‘Hey, my Mum’s got one of those!’ and as she had one of those little people on the back of her’s I decided to follow her – I rather like little people.

So we crossed the road together into her estate just opposite our house where I met three more people who stroked me and kept hold of me and one of them had one of those ‘hold-to-your-ear’ things which she talked into and then Mum came with Nelly who’d also found the open gates but didn’t get as far as me.

It was great … so many pee-mails to sniff …

And yesterday I got into the toybox in Mum’s office.

IT Support

Mum’s computer has been beeping at her recently.

ComputerProblem

So I had a look at it for her.

ComputerProblem2

I got right in there like proper IT people

ComputerProblem3

and with Nelly’s help I managed to fix it for her. Mum was very happy – nothing worse than having a computer beeping at you, especially when Binary is NOT your first language.

As a special surprise and a sort of ‘Thank you’ she ordered a little something from the internet and gave it to us (actually ME, as I’m the best unwrapper) as soon as it arrived.

I chose the orange DinoCuz and left the green one for Nelly but she wanted to swap, and I agreed but then she changed her mind, … and changed it back again …

OrangeDinoCuz

You just don’t know where you are with that girl. Well, I pretended not to care …

FinniDontCare

She has been REALLY capricious lately, especially with her meals!

MyDinner

She’d do anything except finish her dinner. Sometimes Mum leaves it standing there with a lid on to get Nelly more interested …

I could have eaten that for her! Nut NO! I’m not allowed.

I’m also not allowed any of the things she finds at the Lakes. Nelly has been making a bid for Self Sufficiency – she disappears in the Willows and comes out with things to eat. She comes out with some pretty good stuff:

Swan neck (complete with feathers!)

Mouse nests – she eats the wriggling pinkies. I managed to get one of her once (she didn’t like that tho’)

But today she got the peace de resistance … a goose! The wings were intact but the rest was bones. Mum just said ‘What the B(eeeep!) Hell is that?’.  Scooby was there too but she wasn’t allowed any of it either. Nelly was pretty pleased with herself … ran about with it … rolled about with it … crunched a bit of it, until it was time to go home.

All in all it was a pretty exciting morning walk – we were a pack of nine dogs! Pity Mum forgot the camera 🙁

So for the rest of the day I stayed in the Den keeping cool.
