Stitched up

Well all my stitches have been removed and my wound is looking good. I can go racing about like old times again! Mum had to pay £743 for my treatment but luckily has something called 'insurance' that means she really only has to pay £50. Does that mean I get to use the rest of it on treats and toys? I could get a lot of stuff for that I reckon. I've got my eye on a new coat from Chillydogs...

Great news Charlie, I am looking forward to running around with you again at some point.

Yes my mum has something called insurance too when the stupid vet got a bit carried away with cutting my throat. (Btw how are your spots now, bet they have gone now you have been on tablets?). My mum didnt buy me anything out of the insurance money though, most unfair, in fact I dont even have a wardrobe, you seem to have more clothes than I do and I'm a little girl :-(

I am still in the thing they call season, Mum says I am a little tart also, so does this mean that tarts are in season a bit like tomato's were this summer? I used to like helping myself to the tomatoes when they were growing in the garden. Bit worrying though.. cus when the tomoto plants finished being in season Mum dug them up and threw them in the bin :-0

Charlie said...

LOL Ditto i don't think your mum is going to throw you in the bin :-) The season thing is puzzling. It's a new season now apparently - something called Autumn. We look good in Autumn cos we match the falling leaves. Perhaps that's why you're 'in' season?

Yes the clothes thing is a little bit embarrassing. I mean I had to wear stuff when I had a fever but now I'm better I do feel a bit silly. It's just that I'm SO thin still that mum says I have to use my energy on growing, not keeping warm. Hrm. Turns out my weight is lower than they thought cos I'd always been wearing my coat on the scales before. I'm less than 20kg. Eating like a pig though.

Ditto said...

Ooohh you must start eating lots to catch up again, Mum says I am 23kg, I dont think I will ever catch Dexter though who is 30kg.

I'm quite jealous of your wardrobe though, perhaps if I didnt eat as much Mum would buy me clothes too.. trouble is I do like my food.

Hope you are right about the bin, I have been a little worried about what will happen when I am no longer "in" season.

Hello uncle Charlie,

Rosie is 44lbs (my boss says that is 20kg in French) and she is tiny,but perfectly proportioned,woof,woof.
I weigh 70lbs(32kg)and I am not fully grown yet!
Eat faster!

I have it on good advice that £743 is a lot of money and would have bought a lot of chews.
My bite wound cost £325 to fix and I was not insured so it was lucky Dingo's owner paid for it.
My boss says when Rosie stopped eating for a week (she went down to 19kg) due to salmonella it cost £500 just to get some tests done and she was better by the time the results came back.
My friend Max,well,he is not really my friend but that is a long story,had a bill for £2,500 after his cruciate ligament was broken by my friend Fudge when they were playing.
That would pay for a lot of toys.

Diesel.

All this season talk... I want one!! But i dont think they throw you away because if you look at them all cute then thay can't resist the vizzi charm!? My mum thinks it might sort out my hormones and help me get fatter. I didn't like to say anything when Charlie was so thin but i look like that all the time. I know i'm a girl but i have never weighed more than 19.4kg. Mummy gets worried but i don't want to be fat cos' then i'd be normal and i like being weird!

Hey Ditto, try cucumber its great and carrots from the ground . I saw mum pull some up so i had a go too but she got mad and then Zala ate some peas from the plants and she got realllllllllly mad! And this time of year you should all try jumping in the leaf piles just after thay have been raked and oh oh oh the grass cuttings cos' you come out all green and smelly!!

Rez said...

Ps. Sorry Charlie didn't mean to be rude. Glad your stitches are out and you are going to be alright. But what are all the numbers you speak of. You must be getting really great treats or something and wearing the clothes, you should be comfortable that your a real man but you just need a little help at the moment. Personally i would just chew and chew them but thats me!!

Hello Ditto, my mum puts something called 'seasoning' in her cooking every night so I hope you are not going to get cooked up with some garlic and onions.

We still have tomatoes in our garden and I love to eat them off the plants. First though I throw them about a lot and they roll around then I take them inside and put them on the white rug which makes mum mad.

Mum is concerned about the weight thing as when I was weighed 2 weeks ago I was 16kg and I've grown loads since then. She's told me not to grow too big so maybe soon I will get some of that Salmonella stuff you talk about Diesel, to keep her happy.

Charlie - do you have a 'man bag'?

Ditto said...

Oh dear, now I am worried again. You see the thing with this season business is that Mum is acting very strange, I keep getting shut out of the lounge where Dexter is, which is not normal human behaviour to keep shutting doors on me, so I just dont know what she might decide to do next. Also acting odd out on walks, keeps putting me on a lead if she spots another dog, totally ruining my social life.

Bin day is today and I am still here, so thought all was ok until I read Rufus's comment.. now I am worried again.. I didnt know being in Season was connected to cooking also.

And yes squashing tomatoes was great fun, I used to like to dance on them on the patio and make patterns all over it.

Just stay well clear of the kitchen and if she comes towards you with an apron on (strange thing hung round her neck) run a mile.

What's a "man bag" ?

Anonymous said...

Man bag = handbag for a man. An essential for any fashion conscious male in this day and age.

Rez said...

Man Bags!! Isn't it funny that I really want to be a boy but you boys really want to dress like girls, and accessorise of all things.

Charlie said...

Hey yes I have a bag! Well, my mum wears it for me so that I don't have to carry it. It has mainly got lots of yummy treats in it and so if I do something good like sit at the kerb I look at the bag and then I get a treat! Don't think just looking at the bag is enough though - i've tried that. Mine is purple but Radar's is camouflage. Much more manly.

redgirls-in-scotland said...

Ahh. Redgirls like this one. We biological girls can NEVER have too many itsy bitsy accessorisy things. And now our vizsla boys are owning up too. To Bags. We have always adored metro-males .. you smell a whole ton better than these macho take us or leave us stinky labs up here. Pong.

So do you guys have shoes??

Dexter said...

Can life get much worse, not only am I shut away in the lounge thanks to little sis being in season (to be honest I dont think of her as little sis any more... she is soooooo pretty at the moment, I cant get her out of my head!) I now also read that Charlie has bags and clothes, now I feel totally deprived :-(

I rather like the look of scotland, perhaps I should pack my bags and head on up there.... only I havent a bag to pack... oh dear, looks like its back to the lounge!

Charlie said...

Oh poor Dexter. Never mind, I disgraced myself with my bag last night. They packed it full of delicious treats as it was my first night back at training. I couldn't help myself - I jumped up and grabbed it off the side and scoffed the lot! I'm in need of putting some weight back on you see - you can't really blame me.

Rez said...

Nice one Charlie boy, man after my own heart. Hope you ran off with it so they couldn't catch you.
