True Colours Thursday.... Brown

So this week the colour is BROWN.

Taffy and I thought it would be nice to do a joint posting...


He rushed off and picked up MY brown grouse.

He looked a bit guilty, don't you think? What was the matter with his brown grouse?

Then he decided we needed a close up shot.
I did tell him our friends are not myopic but he still insisted.
So here for your viewing pleasure MY brown grouse!

When I suggested we started looking for more brown items he did this!

So that was it I decided he could have nothing more to do with the post.

So I put my head down and nose to the ground to sniff out some more brown things.

The first things I came across were our bowls.

(Taffy in background snorted they were not brown they were beige)

Oh he can be so pedantic, you really cannot imagine what I have to put up with!!
Anyway these are our bowls.
We like them as they are nice and sturdy and we do not have to chase them around the room when we are licking them clean.

Next thing I spotted were our brown Nina Ottosson toys

This is mine


Taffy enjoys his, you can see where his nose has been pushing hard to get to his treats.
Next brown items were our bones and treats.


Then, of course, there is my Heffalump. Light brown in colour and very cuddly.
I have saved the best brown thing till last.............

BROWN
Pig's ears.
Yummy!

New Tags


On Monday Molly and I surfed the Internet for some nice doggie web sites.
We came up trumps and ordered these..........

They arrived this morning.

I wanted a nice Welsh Flag on my tag and Molly opted for the English flag.

"I do hope nobody mistakes you for one of these football hooligans Molly"

"Blooming cheek Taffy! There is only one hooligan around here and it certainly isn't me"
~~

Here I am proudly wearing my Welsh tag.


A nice close up for you to see my tag, please excuse my hairy chest!

Molly came over all bashful when the photos were being taken.
She fidgeted rather a lot so all you can see are a mass of curls!

Our Valentine's Day out

Valentine's Day arrived at long last. Taffy and I had been looking forward to it so much.


First thing yesterday morning my Alf came and collected Stella, Taffy and myself from my house in his snazzy car.

(Stella had flown over yesterday, accompanied by Asta, to be with Taffy)


He really is a cool dude my Alf.














We went cruising for a while, Alf said he wanted to show Stella the sights of South East England and then we were going on to a posh restaurant for a slap up meal.

He had even made a table reservation for us. What a gentleman.

We drove for about an hour before we reached the restaurant. By which time all our tummies were rumbling and Stella said she was so hungry she could eat a horse! Fortunately there weren't any on the menu!



She decided she would like to share a large plate of spaghetti with Taffy. Judging by the loud slurping noises I think she really enjoyed the food.





Fortunately she remembered to put her paw over her mouth when she had the burps otherwise I think Taffy would have slithered under the table and disappeared with embarrassment.








Alf and I opted for the ham shank. It was a decent sized portion and I was ever so pleased it came with carrots and yummy mashed potato. I let Alf have the peas!



After we had finished our meal Alf suggested we had a short stroll before returning home for the evening.









Taffy made sure Stella was wrapped up nice and warm before we left the restaurant.




She wasn't too keen on wearing her woolly hat but as it was her Taffy telling her to keep snug and warm she was a good girl and put it on!


Sadly when it started to get dark we had to make our way back to the car.

When we arrived home we switched on the computer and found we had received some lovely Valentine's wishes.





Thank you Asta


Gaucho and Verdi



Butchy, Snickers, Ruby, Scuby and Sylvester.

We certainly had a fabulous Valentine's Day.

True Colours Thursday

We thought we would have a go at "True Colours Thursday"


The colour for this week is silver.


We have a few things in our house that are silver.


The first item and probably the biggest is not our most favourite thing!





Can you guess what it is?



Yes, it is our grooming table base.


The next items we consider to be very tasteful.



Our photos in silver frames.



Finally we took a photo of the silver thing that is magic.




It always gives us plenty of fresh water for our drinking bowls.

How can something so small produce so much water?

You can see why we think it is magic?


True Colours Thursday is hosted by BLUE

My pressie

My hooman brother has just returned from Florida.




He gave me a pressie.




Do you think it suits me?




I have to say it gave me super powers when I played tug with Molly.
I won paws down.

First meeting of the year.

Last Sunday we were in Wales to have the first meeting of the year with Taffy's friends from WELTAF
It was decidedly chilly and snow was forecast.
We all huddled together to discuss the route we would take but that all went out of the window when we realised we were in..................


Bunny country.
The little Welshies were so keen to get going and started sniffing furiously at all the rabbit entrances, at one point all I could see were little bottoms sticking up in the air!!
Now all the holes were quite small but I did manage to find a sizable hole, just the right size for my head.


"Anybody in?"
Not a sound.
I wondered where the residents were.
Perhaps they had dug all the way through the hill and come out the other side?

Not a rabbit in sight! I was most disappointed.



Taffy started to get impatient as the snow was starting to fall and he was worried the walk would be cut short

We came across a few muddy patches on the path and were sporting some nice muddy paws.

Towards the end of the walk it snowed really heavily and unfortunately the camera was put away as my hooman was having problems multi tasking with the camera, hanging onto Taffy and trying to stay upright.




It was a great walk, there were 14 Welshies altogether and "little me."
Cannot wait for the next one.
Molly
