Breaking in the new blankie

Yesterday we got a new pink blankie for our lounging area.

It’s very important to get as much scent, hair and slobber on items like this, as soon as possible, so I have been rolling, snuffing and wiggling here all night. It’s great fun!

Our regular guest, Duby Wai is staying with us while his mum and dad are on holiday.  He has been doing his best to help out, but he is so miniscule, he’s hardly left an impression, other than strangling the new blankie into a heap. 

The Big Guy has also gotten in on the act – I think between us all we should have this thing properly personalised by lunch time.

Wake up call

My main role in Baskerville Manor is to bring beauty, cuteness and gorgeousness to Yours Truly Confused’s existence, and I work very hard at this.

One of my self-appointed tasks in connection with this role is to wake Mum up every morning so the first thing she sees is my lovely face.

She says my freezy-cold nose and dribbly beard are extremely effective.

Couch Wars

I found this nice spot on the couch, with nice warm sunshine on my back, and there I was, minding my own business having a good old snooze when along comes The Big Guy who decided that this spot is perfect and clambered up to join me.

 

I think we make a lovely couple. If only he wasn’t poking my bum with that massive back paw of his.

Christmas Angel

Unlike Princess Chloe the First and The Big Guy, I don’t just have to suffer the jingly antlers and the dicky bow, I also have to endure The Christmas Bath and Brush Up.

If I sit here and look as pretty as possible for the picture, I had better get a huge reward from Santa. 

Of course, I always look as pretty as possible, so no effort involved.

Literature

 

I love to get my teeth into a good book.

The Works of Percy Byshe Shelley really whets my appetite for more literature.

Offcuts

After the May round of Grooming Wars, Yours Truly Confused called in re-inforcements.

Naomi has just started Naomi’s Scruffy Paws and needed some practice before her final grooming exams.  She plans to provide grooming services to rescue dogs to help them get new homes.  Yours Truly Confused volunteered me as a test subject.  I’m not sure if this is ethical.

It certainly isn’t ethical to have a two against one round of Grooming Wars, so I will not concede defeat this time.

Naomi had not worked on girls as big as me before and I think she was quite impressed at the amount of hair she had to shear off.  Her wireless clippers discharged when she was only half-way through (har har).

 

 

 

I have to say, Naomi did a rather nice job, I think I look extra gorgeous now.

Drying off

Because I am so hairy, after my bath, Yours Truly Confused likes me to wear a dressing gown so I don’t shake and drip all over the house.

This is the bit I really like, all warm and snug on my bed, being told I am good and beautiful.
