Funny stories about dogs or stories about funny dogs. Either which! Took George for his first bus ride today. He got really overexcited! He's not good on wheeled transport anyway but today he decided he wanted to go upstairs. As he's quite a big dog, I had to go with him. He was watching out the front window, ears going backwards and forwards. Then he spotted Mirror Dog above his head! At this point we got to our destination and got off. Everyone else found it highly amusing..... TBF, it's part of the training to get him used to the outside world. He's a rescue and he's never been on a bus before. And he does freak out in cars as well. I'm hoping that short bursts of exposure to the bus will help him calm down.

He met what I think may be his first Yorkshire Terrier today. He was slightly puzzled as to what this thing was. It smelt like a dog and behaved like a dog but why was it only the size of his head? I've never seen him be so gentle in the sniff. It was like he was afraid to step on it. He got slightly freaked when it ran underneath him though!

He made me laugh so much today. He was balanced on the edge of the sofa and decided he wanted to lick his back foot. So he put his head down to it but it slid off the edge. So his head followed it down and he ended up rolling onto the floor! Then he jumped up and gave me a WTF look.

I feel bad today cos I woke up and stretched my legs out from the foetal position I had been in without realising that George was lying across the bottom of the bed. First I knew was when there was a OOOF! and a thump as he hit the floor! He gave me such an RSPCA look, bless him.

Took him out for his final pee of the day about 1am. He suddenly went into full alert on a patch of long grass and then was zig-zagging backwards and forwards across the grass! Trailing me behind him, trying not to wake the neighbours! I can only assume there was a mouse in the grass. It must have escaped as he suddenly calmed down and had a pee.

Was over the park today and heard a woman shouting 'Michael! Michael! Come here!' Looked round everywhere for a bloke or small boy but all I could see was a big German Shepherd running with the joy of the dog who's slipped his leash.
Yeah. That was Michael!

We've had a lot of showers in the last 5 hours. He was out in the garden before the last one. I opened the back door.
Me - you want to come in? Him - look that said 'no, I'm fine thanks'.
I shut the door.
5 mins later I can hear the rain absolutely slamming down. And a desperate scratching at the door......
I opened it and he ran in so quick that his legs were scrabbling across the tiled floor!

Met another dog called George in the park. Both off-lead and both owners calling them by name. Two very confused dogs! LOL!

The bugger ripped his collar apart yesterday. We were out in the front garden and he was attached by two long leads to a handle by the front door. And then he spotted a cat. He took off so quick that he completely ripped the ring out of his collar. I had to go and fetch him back. Just glad he didn't run out into the road.
No more cheap collars for this boy! Although it will be a better idea to attach him via a harness. And keep an eye out for cats!

George doesn't usually beg for my food as he knows he won't get any. But.... I have been guilty of giving him the odd bit of toast. He adores toast! So today I was making some and he was sat in the doorway, not taking his eyes off me. I walked towards him with the toast in my hand, him trembling with excitement at the smell, and then I opened the back door to the garden. Before he knew what he was doing, he was outside running down the lawn. I closed the door and watched the exact moment he realised he'd been conned! He came belting back to the door and scratched it. I told him to wait.
Bless he sat so patiently by the door until I'd ate my toast.

Went to our local country park today and George saw his first horse! He so wanted to go and have a sniff and was trying to pull me under the fence! I talked him out of it but did discover he likes the taste of horse apples! Nice......

This morning, I flash-fried some pork to boil later for him and I cut off two little bits to give him now. When he'd eaten those I told him 'All gone!' and showed him my hands. He looked at me, confused, and then went into the kitchen. I followed him in and he was sat in front of the work surface where the bowl of pork was sitting, staring at intensely. Then at me, then the pork, then at me. 'It's not all gone, look, it's there. Right there.' I covered it over with a teatowel and said 'All gone!'
He looked at me like I'm insane. 'It's not all gone, it's there, stoopid hooman! I CAN SMELL IT!'
He's now on the sofa, sulking.

Today I'm roasting chicken and he has biscuits in his bowl. He's not a happy bunny...

I am really suffering at the minute.
George is asleep on the sofa next to me. And oh my lor.... he has the smelliest wind I've ever known. If it was June I'd have all the windows open!
It must be the new food. He loves the taste but dear god, this is more than a person should have to deal with!

G: Argggh! Is wet and cold! Let me in! Let me IN! Me: You need a pee. Out! G: NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! Let me in. Me: (open door, take off harness, lead and coat, sit down to watch TV) G: Need a pee, need a pee, take me OUT! Me: You've just been out! Bugger off. G: (Pacing the room like a nutter) Takemeouttakemeouttakemeouttakemeout.......' Me: FFS..... (put on coat, harness and lead) And rinse and repeat.
