Ta Dah!

Morning. Or should I say morning again? More of this later.

How's you all doing? Things were a bit off kilter here last week as I understand it was for many people. The rainy weather didn't help. We all feel better in the sunshine even an old sofa lie-a-bed like me don't we? Some of us positively bask in it. I actually request a short walk by hanging around looking doleful by the front door when the sun shines. Glory be.

My role as an unofficial therapy dog was therefore in much demand last week. The Lock Downs all told me their troubles...bless them. Everyone together in one place for weeks on end sometimes has its less than lovely moments don't you agree? Nothing serious don't panic, just a general level of grumpiness. The state of the nation perhaps? I hope that if this is you your dog is listening to you. A nice  walk is a good opportunity for a dog to ooman natter, though the Lock Down tries not to actually talk out loud. Of course we're only allowed out once a day which is perfect for me. Mind you judging by the number of people out and about over the weekend sans canine one began to wonder if anyone is listening any more. Important messages are often lost in translation so my PSB today to you lot who insist on going out unnecessarily is...SIT. 

As I'm in a sharing mood, and not just my spring moult kind of share, I thought I'd pose a few questions for you to think about this week...

What's normal looking like for you now? Same as before or different? Are you okay with that or a bit scaredy-cat? Are you getting used to your new normal and dreading the 8am meetings when we get back to the new normality? The Lock Down certainly is but I'm sure she'll cope. Ha ha.

Are you eating and drinking too much. *Coughs*...the Lock Downs are... possibly! I am hence my visit outside at 4.00am. The birds were tweeting their hearts out, so much so I just had to go out again at 4.45 to have another listen. The Lock Down was not impressed at having two morning starts. Ungrateful that's what I say. I'm still a bit delicate so hopefully I'll get my fave rice and eggy dinner later. I like that, especially if there's some broccoli too. I would say I'm a dog of fine tastes but I'm not. Just a greedy chops.

Anyway and to end my ramblings I want you to think about what was your last ta dah moment and did it involve a dog? All the best ta dah moments do in my opinion - like the ones were I burst into a room looking expectant...what are you feeling expectant about. Come on, there must be something!

I'll leave you with this - take care my little pack and keep your paws clean, your hayfever ridden sneezes to yourselves and stay strong. Who knows we might be Not the Lock Downs soon. Then again. Too soon is too soon.

Woof woof 🐾

What Day Is It?

Morning all, Hope that everyone is safe distancing and washing their paws. The Lock Down is complaining her hands are dry...not a thought in her head for my poor paws. They need some TLC do my four paws if she has a mo but I'd rather not have a bath if that's ok. My annual spring bath is due soon and I'm already panicking...with not much else to do over the Easter break I could end up with two. Think of me. Us lurchers aren't known for their webbed paws. I look like a drowned rat when I'm being washed and it's not a good look I can assure you.  Is it just here or is everyone getting into a new groove? Physical distancing in this house means I often have a choice of sofas. It's heavenly. They were all working on something different in different rooms yesterday...I was a bit lonely so I had a sleep. Plus ca change. The kettle was on a lot though and that meant the fridge door kept opening but there were no pickings for me sadly. One of the Lock Downs has given

Rain? No way!

Morning, how's it going? Been thinking of you all even though I haven't put claw and paw to keypad lately. Lazy me.  Anyway don't you think things are still somewhat (!?) strange? One can only tell what day it is by the bin lorry. The Lock Down says it's Saturday so it's bin day plus 3 here. Unnerving. Told the LD she needs a plan of action. The look she gave me. It would have striped wallpaper. Ouch. I'm interested in knowing what are you all up to though? Lots of the Lock Down's friends and colleagues work in schools so she's been supporting them by DM till all hours (that's not Dog Mess(age) by the way, it's true...think about it, think about it...) She says sometimes people just need to know they aren't alone. She has me though so what more could she possibly want? Do keep talking to her, she's not exactly going anywhere. On a more personal note the Lock Down has been back to work, after a fashion, with a vengeance this week. Her head

Sunday, Sunday?

Greetings earthlings, how be you all? We're certainly not in Kansas anymore that's for sure and the Lock Down to whom am I dictating this dog-blog is vaguely (!) aware it might be Wednesday. Is it? Who knows. Here at Lock Down Mews the Lock Downs have decided that staying in is the new going out and are quite literally taking it in turns to exit the premises for walkies, shopping and running around the block. Mrs Lock Down seems to be the one doing all the shopping, including a trip to the local hardware shop for doggie waste bags and bird seed (she knows how to rock), and Young Lock Down bakes a lot. I sit and wait hopefully for tasty crumbs but she point blank refuses because I'm turning into a "unit" apparently. Not a clue but it sounds vaguely insulting; young people today eh? The only solution to this kind of behaviour is the side eye. Dog owners will know exactly what a side eyed look means...yup...get stuffed in doggie language...be afraid, be very afraid..
