When no means no, (and how to get out of trouble)

I am so bad,and I am in so much trouble. They went out without me and I got bored. I am not allowed to chew the doorframe anymore, and they have moved everything in the kitchen out of my reach.
So I don't know how I managed it,but I jumped over the child-gate that keeps me in the kitchen and out of the rest of the house. And then I created bedlam; I have totally wrecked the whole house. I have been in the bedrooms and thrown everything out of the waste bin and torn the bin into pieces, some of it is in the bedroom and some of it is on the stairs, and a lot of it is in the living room.
I have taken all the clothes of the airier and strewn it all over the house, I have totally blitzed the magazines and newspapers. And I have opened up and removed from the packaging their new duvet cover and pillowcases that only arrived this morning. Did I say that I think that I am in big trouble? But if I can get back over the gate and pretend to be asleep, maybe they won't know that I did it.
Well their back, and at first I thought that I had got away with it. For a spilt second they weren't sure if they had been robbed, the house is such a state,and to this day they still don't know how I got over the gate.(I do but I shan't be doing that again)
They decide that I have to be punished,what are they going to do? Are they going to shout at me? Are they going to smack me? Julie is walking towards me. No you are a naughty boy, she says.
I try to cuddle up to her and she tells me to lay on my bed and stay. But I want to make it up to her,but I am told No I must stay in my bed,and then they both walk away from me and close the door.
I feel so bad, it has taken two large black bin liners to clear everything up and they walk past me like I don't exist. The house and the mess have been cleaned up, and they give me what they went out to get, a new bed, I am so bad. Still never mind I am only a puppy, and I know not to do that again,(well not on such a grand scale anyway)
So how did I get round them you ask, well I did the sit down and lean back routine,that I used to get them in the first place. That worked on Nick,Julie was a bit harder,but I just put my head on her lap, and gave her my I am Sooo sorry look, that in the end she had to forgive me. (It works every time)
See you next week.

So many web-sites so little time

So many web-sites so little time

Afternoon all.
I am beginning to feel so swamped by all the forum,blogs,twitters,facebook and other sites that I am promoting on, that I have been neglecting my own personal web-site.
I haven't been properly promoting it for a while,and it shows. (Google Analytics is a wonderful thing)
So this is all about http://www.juliemonkphotography.co.uk Here you will find an abundance of images,which can be purchased on my site via Pay Pal. You can choose the size and have an option for posters which are printed on a Epsom professional large format printer; onto 350g semi-matte paper. Or as a canvas print which is printed on brilliant white canvas.
Just click on the image that you like and go to the drop-down menu for size and finish.
Please feel free to visit the guest-book and leave any feed-back or comments, I would love to know what you think.
I now really need to get on with the garden and water my veg,which is growing really well, considering that I just plant them and let them get on with it.
Have a great week, and don't forget to visit.
Julie

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.
