Blog post No 2. A typical day.

Hello, it's me again.

 

I have had quite a busy week so have only just managed to sit down to type my next blog post for you to read.

I thought I would start by telling you a little about my housemates.

First and foremost we have the two highly trained members of staff.

Then there are the two canines who also live in the house.

First we have Blake, a house guest,  AKA, the big hairy one.

We don't really get on and to keep the peace we are always either side of the big gate.

Sometimes we may be polite to each other but in general I do like to try and wind Blake up and he answers back with the biggest bark I have ever heard.

So loud sometimes that the china starts clattering around in the kitchen cupboards.

It can be a bit scary but I am told it is all my own fault....

Probably why I seem to have acquired a collection of nicknames.... PEST,  being one of them!

My other canine housemate is Winnie, a Welsh Terrier.

A mature lass, she likes to be the boss and I can confirm she has an amazing set of teeth.

If she could, she would probably show them to me a lot more.  I can wind her up too, quite quickly..... so you can see why I do so much better in my own space, with just my staff as company.

No photos of Winnie. She is refusing to have her photo taken.... something to do with lockdown hair, whatever that means?

A typical day

My days start with a trot around the garden.

Then I stand and patiently wait for the door to be opened so I can come in for my breakfast.

This is never served at the same time everyday, something to do with me being a Bossy Boots and anticipating what is going to happen next. So sometimes I may decide to have a play with my toys or go back to bed for a bit longer.

When the staff sit and have their breakfast I like to sit next to them and help them catch up with their emails and keep up to date with what is happening in the world.

By mid morning I need an energy boost and snacks are served.

I usually take my snack to one of my many beds and have a good munch.

After that I like to go outside,  provided it isn't pouring with rain,  and have a sniff and a trot around.

During the course of the day I enjoy playing with all my stuffed toys.

I have lots of them. I am not a destructive boy and take great care of them.

The only thing is I am not that keen on is clearing  up at the end of the day.

I am asked nicely if I could....

Guess what my reply always is...

I am a nimble boy, practicing my stretching exercises helps me to keep in excellent shape. I do these regularly and now have another nick name.

Frog legs..

So rude!

Afternoon naps are a must for me and then it is usually time for my dinner.

I am an enthusiastic eater and never leave a crumb of food in my bowl.

Evenings are nice and quiet and we all relax, have cuddles and the staff watch TV.

I am a very good boy at night time and allow my staff to sleep for 8 hours every night without disturbing them.  I need them fresh and alert for the next day!

Right that's it from me for now.

I will be back soon and will tell you all about how helpful I am about the house.

Have a grrrrrrrrreat weekend.

Barney.
