Aaaarghh!!!!

Logan has been given the okay for longer walks and free running even though his elbows are still puffy. The vet we saw yesterday said he'd not have recommended bed rest, rather wear him out and then put him in his bed with plenty of padding - suppose they all have their way of dealing with these things. Shame we didn't see this one first time round :(

As a consequence of all this rest and very little exercise (apart from his disappearing act) Logan is a right royal pain in the backside (and everywhere else) while on his lead - today I felt as if I had Tigger at the end rather than a pupster and I came back exhausted. Even after looping his lead into a makeshift headcollar he pogoed all over the place, tripping both me and my friend up. He's a right gobby git without his grey buddies to back him up when we met other dogs - boy does he have an ear piercing shriek!

The plus side is that everybody who met him thought he was adorable (once he'd shut up) and commented on how fantastic he looked when we managed a few metres walking to heel. Onwards and upwards - he's flat out in his bed and a cuppa has revived me :)

Way to go Jedda

Wow sis, you sure are a clever girl, standing still and letting some strange person make a fuss of you at Manchester. They must have thought you were great saying you were best puppy Munster. We all know you're the prettiest girl - you must be because you're our sister and we're al handsome boys!!

I can't stay still for a nanosecond unless I'm fast asleep and then I'm dreaming about running, chasing, splashing and chomping.

Love
Logan xx

munster fun

munters love to fill the house with water, they always take an extra mouth full for your knee of the floor so you can slip for their amusment. jedda got best pup .

Water bowls

Hi Neo, I love swamping the floor too and I get to chase the mop when mum tries to clean up.
She bought a non-spill bowl hahahaa!!! I pick it up and shake it on it's side and the water goes everywhere hehehe!!!

I love water even when I have a bath. Mum cheated and took me and Herne to the groomers last week because she wanted to make sure we got a good dry as well. I came out looking clean and sort of normal (I think mucky suits me better) and Herne was all fuzzy like a teddy bear. Mum said we both smelt a whole heap better.

Hi all Neo here :) What a lovely time I am having!!! Life is fun fun fun! Where to start? I am now the biggest dog in the houehold (hahaha!) and according to mum still the biggest........ baby! My favourite hobby at home is collecting things off shelves , then I take them in to the kitchen to see what mum thinks ....... she doesnt have to say a thing she just has this look and I drop whatever it is (and potter off to find something else!) Sometimes I bring in things that belong to me and when mum looks, and I drop' she laughs and says 'It's ok Neo that's yours' and I pick it up and trot off with it which is one reason mum says I can understand english :) Of course if I am really pleased with my find and it doesn't belong to me I bypass checking with mum and chew it into little shreddies in private ;) There is not a door in the house I cannot open now so I can let myself into the girls rooms and surprise them whenever I like ;) and I have watched mum and worked out how to turn the gas on on the cooker so now she has to watch me .....very closely! I have learned loads of tricks which always impresses visitors and keeps the family thinking I am amazing. I can do paw , touch , high five , bow , crawl , spin and various heel work to music moves ...I just love love love to learn things and mum has bought a new book of tricks to teach me as she had run out of ideas! Outside home I love to romp over the Downs and I also do obedience training where I have graduated to the big boys class! I have also started gundog training which is great as it involves lots of mud and fetching things. It also involves sitting still and staying while other doggies fetch things and mum says I am really really good at this .....even when someone else took my dummy instead of their own (!!!!!!!!) and when there are sheep (!) in the field. Every half hour we get to run around and play and as the new boy I get rolled over and over in the mud ...... mum says she should have named me after a rugby player! what I don't like is the bath when we get home :( but don't worry I put up a really good fight to avoid landing in the water! Well thats what I've been up to how are you guys doing? Got any tips for getting into mischief? And do you guys like to slurp all the water out of your bowls and leave a lake on the floor everytime you have a drink? I love a good slurp!

Neo :)

One shattered Logan

in the doghouse

Logan has not enjoyed his bed rest, short walks and 'brain' training so yesterday met up with a friend to walk him with her dogs and show her a walk she didn't know about.

Started off okay, then a bit of pogoing around, trying to leap into the road after birds and rubbish and when we got to the woods I decided to let him off the lead so he could have a little freedom.
All was well and he sniffed and snuffed in the undergrowth and kept close then something must have caught his eye and he disappeared - no problem I thought he never goes far - hmm, all this bed rest has turned him into a naughty boy and despite both my friend and I whistling and calling him there was sight nor sound.

You can imagine the panic setting in as we hunted high and low and eventually decided to go back to where we entered the woods in case he'd gone back there. No sign of him there but after whistling again I heard a faint cry so while my friend waited I kept whistling and walking in the direction of the cry.

Talk about relief when a very subdued Logan came towards me with hanging head and tail down. Thinking he might have scared himself when he couldn't find me I called 'quickie quickie' and he perked up, broke into a run and nearly flattened me as he came into my legs. I guess a combination of pent up energy and teenage rebelliousness doesn't make for a well behaved pup.

He was missing for almost an hour and got his just desserts today - a trip to the groomers to get rid of the stench he picked up on his adventure!!

Back to basics and food will only be dispensed as part of his refresher course in recall!!

Hope his sister and brothers are all behaving!
