News Hound Ady & Flo

Being 16 weeks old has its advantages and a few of them showed up the other evening when Ady was looking after me, yeah right.

Dog sitting is the same as a dog sleepover, one does not involve sleeping and the other has nothing to do with sitting.

The mayhem and carnage as I burst through the door into Ady's pad went something like this:
(Flo) Why is there no food in your bowl Ady?
(Ady) Because you ate the bloody lot before you went home a couple of hours ago – you disposal unit.
(F) So, okay, what shall we do now then?
(A) Go get the boss man's sock over there and we will drag each other around, then we can go outside, sniff around a few lamp posts and check to see if ‘FiFi' the French saboteur has been lurking around.
(F) Nah, I would rather pee on your carpet, oops here comes your boss now and it looks like he is heading for a little horizontal work. I know, let's go upstairs and jump all over him and as I am a charming puppy still, you think I will be able to get away with licking his face and sticking my tongue in his ear?
(A) Well Flo, I really do not think that is a great idea, you can try, but I will stay down here and guard the bones. I don't think he will appreciate your attempt to try and wash his face, but try, at least you may learn that you have to pick your moments and as his sense of humour is getting a little testy lately, good luck to you.
(F) Ady you blouse, where is your sense of adventure? I am a charming puppy and as such nothing can withstand my offensive.
(A) You go girl, I am going to wait here.
(F) Oooooooooops… (The bosses response #***#*!!!!)
(F) Well, that did not go well, at least he is awake now and maybe he will feed me. Ady you can have some of your food as well you know. Your two-legger is either getting old or puppy charm only works at certain times.

Christmas rush: Flat out at work this week.

No worries though, he took us for a run around chasing one of Animal Antics' feathered toys for an hour, or that is, until Ady ripped it to shreds and we proceeded to disperse its insides around the building – now that was fun.

We only just got worn out and ready for a little R&R, when who should arrive, but my ticket to the wash house in Te Puna. See you Ady and tell your boss I will be back.

Well that went well, not. Damn that girl is like a whirlwind, I am positive I was not like that when I was her age.

No worries, life is all about having a little fun, so make sure you all keep a smile on your dial, have fun, party hard, but party safely.

Cheers all, we'll catch you next week – I have to go as there is a dirty fat black bird sitting on my bone outside.
