Ganny's again!

As many of you will know, Mum and I visited Ganny last week. I see it as a good chance to relax.......

......because I hardly ever get the chance to do that at home.....

But I digress. Ganny has quite a large garden that attracts a lot of other animals. I spotted several cats, some squirrels, a fox and lots of birds! Sadly Mum wouldn't let me chase any of them....... she has no sense of humour you know. So I had to make do with investigating after the event.

Yep. This is the route the fox took.....

Hmmmm. Signs of nut burying.......

This was taken seconds before Mum shouted "you will get your ar*e kicked if you lick that bird poo!"

And then it was time to have a break with a pig's ear.

Of course the best thing is that I can do proper zoomies in Ganny's garden! She even had the lawn mowed to make it even more like a race track!

But all good things must come to an end......and as some of you will know, this did in rather a bloody fashion. (It was super fun though!)

Thank you everyone for your good wishes....my toe is healing nicely now

Hello everyone

I am broadcasting to you from my sickbed......I have a Poorly Paw.

Whilst at Ganny's this week I managed to cut my toe while doing zoomies in the garden. Now, those of you who know Bunny from Tales and Tails will have heard that one of the irrefutable facts about Greyhounds is that we are made of spun sugar and therefore melt if made to go out in the rain. I can confirm that this is completely true.

One of the lesser known facts is that if you prick us we don't just bleed, we BLEED! Following the incident Mum discovered me in Ganny's garage by following the huge droplets of blood that led there. She was quite expecting me to be unconscious having severed a main artery, but no, I was closely examining a bag that contained pigs' ears, while blood pumped from a small cut on my toe. By the time she got me into the kitchen, made me lie down and had cleaned up the wound, she looked a bit like an extra from The Shining and the kitchen floor hadn't fared much better. 

Coooooeeee everyone! Look at my Poorly Paw!

Mum told everyone how good I was for not chewing off the sock that covered my bandage........until she found that I had spent all night licking it into a sodden mess that had removed the bandage underneath. The air went a little blue for a while.....until Other Mum remembered that the supermarket sold something very like Vet Wrap, and so, for once, they had me licked!

I am still walking on three legs....until I forget and then run around the lawn. Hopefully I will only need the bandage on for another 2 or 3 days. 

Aunty Lou is coming to stay with us for a few days tomorrow, so I shall be absent once more for a little while.  Hope you all have a good week....and watch out if you are planning on any zoomies...

Spoiled Again!

As many of you will know, I spent all of last week at Ganny's. And as ever she spoiled me rotten.

Ganny had cooked liver and carrots for me when we arrived. Regular viewers will note that I have my bowl stand with me this time......well done Mum. 

I keep forgetting to show you the calendar I made Ganny for Christmas. First Flynn, and now I make her one every year. 

May definitely has the best photograph! Both Ganny & I have our birthdays in May. 

Ganny and Mum were having dinner one evening (whilst I lay patiently on the floor chanting "drop the steak, drop the steak" under my breath) when Mum noticed the security lights had come on outside. She looked out and there were TWO CATS staring in at us through the window! 

The first one ran off before Mum could get the camera out but this fella was a really cool customer. Bl**dy cheek! Mum thought I might attempt to throw myself through the window but I was actually very good. I don't really bother unless the little critters make a run for it!  Anyway, there was the steak to think about.....

The weather was a bit on the inclement side, so Ganny didn't feel like going out much

That's okay Ganny. I'm more than happy to just take it easy.........

Back home the weather is seriously inclement.......and very windy! This was taken yesterday (do you think she gets some sort of sadistic pleasure from making me look stupid...?) but today the snow is much worse. Mum had to shovel 18" away from the door so I could get out for my wees!  

So you know what I'm going to do today, don't you? 

You got it! I'm just going to kick back and relax..... Have a good weekend all. 

She'd forget her head if it was loose......

A couple of weeks ago, Mum and I made one of our regular trips to see Ganny. As many of you will know, we usually visit about once every 6 weeks and stay for a few days. We probably visit about 10 times a year. You see where I'm going with this? We visit Ganny A LOT and Mum has been doing so (with a Greyhound in tow) since she moved to Yorkshire nearly 6 years ago. So you'd think by now she's pretty clued up on what to take; not really likely to forget the essentials? Read on my friends.......

We arrived at Ganny's and I was pretty thirsty after the long car journey. So Mum went to fetch my bowl and stand. Except my stand was still in the kitchen at home......

"Great. A bucket. Now I feel really special......."

Later in the day, we decided to go for a walk. Mum went to fetch my lead. My lead was hanging on the hook in the hall at home. "Don't worry" said Mum. "I keep a spare lead in the car for situations just like this".

"I'm pretending I'm not with you...."

What she didn't mention was that it was a poncy girly macrame lead which a friend had made as part of a project. "Yes Mum it may screw up very small to fit in the glove box, but it looks ridiculous...." At least it matches my coat.......

I particularly like going to Ganny's as I get to sleep upstairs in Mum's room. So I was very happy when it came to bed time. "I'll just get your blankie" said Mum. "Ah............." My blankie was at home on my sofa. Ganny said she'd find something for me. 

"No Mum. The fact that it is a Ralph Lauren towel does not make this any better. It is still pink....."

On the day that we were due to come home, we woke up to this, so decided to stay another day.

Mum pretended to be a bit fed up, but I think she likes being pampered by Ganny as much as I do!

Anyway, I certainly wasn't complaining. The food is great and the service excellent......

Tea & bikkies in bed! 

"What about that one with jam & cream next Ganny"?

On my travels again.......

Tomorrow I am off to visit Ganny for about a week, so I am looking forward to dining on duck and steak and trout and all sorts of other lovely things that Mum is too tight to buy for me I don't usually get to eat at home. Good ol' Ganny!

I thought I'd let you know as I wouldn't want you to think that I'd abandoned all my friends! I hope everyone has a super week and see you all soon.

Here is a picture of me looking quite regal..... in case you forget what I look like!
