Vet and first walk

We are going for a drive in the car. Apparently we are going to the vets,(to see the man in the white coat). I am going to have my last lot of injections. I need to have these so that I am ok to go out for walks. (not quite sure what walks are but I am looking forward to it.) It is a lady in a white coat that I actually see. She makes a big fuss of me and puts me up on a big table. She tries to look into my mouth to make sure that my teeth are growing alright. Nick tells her they seem ok, he says that I have no trouble chewing through the doorframe in the kitchen, I am so proud that I am obviously doing that right,(Well I must be, otherwise he would't have mentioned it. Would he?)
The injections don't hurt,(well I didn't feel a thing,) and I get another treat, this one must be off, because it tastes rank,(so that's where I get my bad breath from.) I am carried back out to the waiting room and Nick pays the bill, there are so many people out there and they all want to make a fuss of me. I am wagging my tail so hard Julie can hardly hold me, she says it will be so much easier for her when I can walk rather than have to be carried, (that's what she thinks. ha,ha.)
It has now been two weeks since I last went to the vets, and today is the day I have my first walk.
I have never been on a lead before it is quite strange, I want to go one way and the person holding the lead wants to go another.
I am only little, so I do the zigzag, I walk in front of them and then just zigzag, they don't know which way I am going to go, and while they are getting tangled up in the lead I take them in the direction that I want to go. It is so funny that I still do it with Nick now if I can. I am not allowed to do it with Julie. (she can be quite bossy at times.}

Skeet's new Blog. Rules of the House

Rules of the House
As the days and weeks go by I miss my dog family less.
I have a new family now. I call them my people family.
They provide me with everything I need; food,water,warmth,affection and shelter. All I have to do is look at them with my brown puppy eyes and I get everything I want. But if that doesn't work I just take it and RUN! That was when I found out what fun is. No one can catch me, when I run past them with socks and tea-towels. I can turn faster than them, and if they were goal-keepers their team would be off the league table, they are so bad at judging where I am going to go next. I also like to slam-dunk them when they are not expecting it, I will charge across the room at them from a standing position and launch myself at them. Nick laughs so much I am sure that one day he will have an accident. Talking of which I have had to be housetrained, which means if I need to have a wee or anything else (you work it out) I have to ask to go outside. I am getting quite good, but I do have accidents. Such as when a big monster appears on the telly. Jurassic Park I think it was,then I have to find Julie for a quick cuddle, and to rush me out the backdoor.
I stay with Julie's parents during the day, that is fun,they are older and a bit slower, so I try to behave,but I am only a puppy after all. They will leave papers and slippers around for me to play with. But best of all,they've got a tea-cosy. That gets taken for a run of the house a lot, and I can now make it up the stairs.
Let the fun begin.
Don't forget to check out Julie's new range of Canvas Prints and Greeting Cards (I'm on one)
See you next week
Skeet.

NEW CANVAS PRINTS

Hi all just to let you know that you can buy beautiful,well made canvas prints via all my shops. All are printed on a Epson professional large format printer and handstretched onto 1" wide, 3" deep wooden stretcher bars to avoid warping. All of the image wraps around the bars to give you a 3D effect. The canvas is then sprayed to keep the image lighttight and to repel dust and moisture.
They will be posted bubblewrapped to protect them.
Also available a selection of Greeting Cards, printed onto 350g brilliant white card, left blank inside for your own message.
Take a look, I hope you like what you see.
Skeet will be back next week, at the moment he is snoring his head off at my feet.
Julie

Coming Home

I am in a cage all alone. All my brothers and sisters have gone,(even Lazy has got new owners). But where are mine? Have they forgotten me? Don't they want me anymore?
The doorbell rings, they've come!
I get taken outside for the first time ever,the sights, the sounds, but most of all the smells. I can smell grass, petrol,animals, I can smell my mum Buttons, but I can't see her, I shall never forget her or her smell, ever.
We go for a ride in the car, I like car rides, they take me to all sorts of places. This time though it's to my new home.
I have a bed in the kitchen, it is so new there is no other dog smell on it except mine. I have my own food bowl ( hurrah I don't have to fight for food anymore.) I have my own water bowl, (I don't have to knock Lazy of anymore to get a drink,) and new toys all to myself; bliss.
It is my first night in my new home and I have a bed all to myself, but I miss my brothers and sisters and my mum. I have no one to snuggle up to, I am all alone.
The lady hears my cries and comes downstairs and cuddles and whispers to me until I fall asleep

Skeet' Blog

Hi,

Julie is busy at the moment, but she wanted to write a blog but hasn't got time.

So I thought I would do one for her.

Here goes.

It's a Dogs Life.

When we first met.

There are three of us left on the outside. My brothers and sisters are in a big cage. Mum is with us so I don't feel afraid. I feel safe and content because I don't have to share her or her milk with the others.

Suddenly she is up and barking at the front door,the people have come.

Two people walk in, "this is Buttons" says the lady who owns us,"the pups mum". The lady and the man who have just walked in make a big fuss of her. What about me?

I hear Janet my owner telling them that there are only three of us left to home, and that we are all boys. I must try to make a good impression.

The competition in my humble eight week old puppy opinion isn't that great,one of them is tiny, and the other is lazy and has always got his head laid in the water bowl, thats if he isn't staring at the wall all the time,(I really don't know why he does that, I tried it once and it just got boring.)

They are climbing into our pen, quick I have to get to them first.

Oh No the lady has picked up the tiny one. Pick me Pick me.

Lazy boy hasn't moved,I will have to try to get the mans attention, he is so tall, if I sit back on my bottom and lean back and look up at him maybe he'll notice me. They are talking to Tiny, why won't they notice me. I suddenly whine, that's worked, he's looked down. Suddenly he strokes my head and laughs, the lady puts Tiny down and picks me up and cuddles me. Got them got a new home.

First ever blog

So today is the day when I start my first blog. It is my day off I have taken the dog out,done the housework, and got the dinner on.

I am a photographic printer, and a photographer. I have got two men in my life, one is 6 ft 2, which is a bit of a challenge as I am only 4ft 10, and the other is my chunky chocolate lab.

I have recently joined folksy in order to try (and I am very trying apparently) and showcase and hopefully sell some of my images. I also have my own web-site from which can be purchased poster and canvas prints. Please click on the links to take a look.

The picture above is the love of my life he is called Skeet and he is 5years old, but he is a complete maniac and still acts like a pup, but as his owners act like big kids it's probably hardly surprising
