Stealth

I like to go in the garden and bark sometimes. It's one of the joys of being a dog.

Recently though I have been perfecting the art of barking whilst almost entirely invisible. Yeah, I know, amazing! Look, I've put a photo of the garden I was barking in but I bet you won't be able to spot where I am:

Agent Slim

My name is Agent Slim, you can call me AS for short.

I chase flies, lie in the sun and drink water. I also bark if you walk past my house (even on the other side of the road). I bark if you disturb me whilst I'm out the back too, so don't imagine for a second that you can try sneaking by.

This is a photo of me and my most recent boyfriend:

Me, Agent Slim (AS)

This is Boyfriend (BF). He's lovely.

Tick...but not the good kind

A tick got on my neck. Bad.

Luckily, FP has some tools and she managed to get rid of this tick. She had to hook the tick in the tool and twist v-e-r-y gently until it popped out, jaws and all. FP looked at the beast carefully and there were bits waving about in the hook and sticking out the other side was a big, fat creamy white coloured body.

I think this will serve as a lesson to me to be more careful when I'm plunging about in the undergrowth looking for foxes and what not. Or, taking those celebratory rolls on the grass after I've caught Tugger in the park. Ah, well frankly I haven't a clue where I picked up this rotten old tick thing. 

The thing is to make sure when grooming your dogs that you check for ticks. They can be black or creamy colured and you HAVE to make sure that you get out ALL of the jaw parts as well as the body. Don't rush the process; take your time and if you aren't sure, go to the vet. After you've removed a tick, keep an eye on your dog for 24 hours at least to make sure that we aren't behaving oddly (more oddly than usual that is).

Well, that's all from me right now. I'm watching Twitter for news on something else...This does not mean that I'm ignoring you. It just means that I'm busy (again).

Okay, bye *waves*

Tremendously busy 2

I have been busy before but I'm extra busy right now.

I have extra people to supervise and, let me tell you, people are not always ready to do as they are told. People are willful and contrary, they walk in bizarre directions and sometimes they are not carrying gravy bones so it's difficult to maintain an interest in them. Frankly if you don't have a gravy bone in your pocket, I will leave you to wonder about the park on your own.

I am a busy dog and require gravy bones on  a regular basis.
