Lawson' s Diary
HI. The caretakers really can not understand why I am still here at K9 so they have decided to let me spend a week with them and keep a diary.
TUESDAY: Today was cold & wet. I was so happy to see Ginny come down to the kennels with my special collar and lead. She took me up to the house to see my mate Nunya and told me that I had a new friend for me to meet named Boss. Nunya & boss made me feel so welcome and Ginny told me that I was allowed to stay with them at the house for a while. We all took a trip in the car to pick Jazz up from school. I enjoyed sitting in the car looking happily out the window.
WEDNESDAY: What a lovely warm comfy sleep I had last night. Ginny and Jamie were happy to see that I am house trained and didn’t chew anything up over night. Today I spent most of the day at home in the house with the two dogs while Ginny went over to K9 to do some work. I was very well behaved and didn’t chew anything up unlike Boss who got hold of the tv remote and destroyed it, Ginny was not happy. After Ginny finished what she was doing at k9 she did a little training with all of us. Sit, Stay and walking at Heel. After this we all played around outside for a while. I was chasing flies at one time there. Once again after dinner I had my P.J’s put on for bed. I spent the evening laying around with the other dogs or on my bed or cuddling up with the family again before going to sleep. I’m enjoying every minute of this, its lovely to be settled and feel warm and welcome in a home. Ginny wishes that I would ease up on the kissing, she says I give to many, as if you can ever have to many kisses.
THURSDAY: Another warm comfy night’s sleep. Once again I didn’t
disgrace myself and the house was in one piece and clean when the
caretakers awoke. It’s another wet cold and windy day I’m so thankful
for being in a nice warm heated home. Ginny is working at k9 again today
so most of my day will be spent inside with Nunya and Boss again. Ginny
has popped home a few times to let us all outside and check that Boss is
behaving himself today. After Ginny finished at k9 she did a little
more training with us before letting us all have a good run. Later on
when Jamie came home we all went for a big walk. Once again I had my
dinner was made to sit and stay until told ok. I then had my P.J’s put
on and was happy to lay around again. We all had a treat tonight after
dinner, Nunya and Boss had Pigs Ears and I had a Lucky Dog Meaty Chew as
I didn’t like the pigs ear. I’ve settled right into this place, it’s a
shame I cant stay here, Ginny tells me that someone will be coming for
me soon. I deserve a home where I will be made part the family she
really believes that I will make a great mate and companion for someone.
I hope she is right and I get to go to a new home soon.
FRIDAY: Another great nights sleep in a lovely warm home. Once
again the house was clean when the caretakers woke up. Ginny left the
door open for us dogs to go in and out as we pleased. Boss got me into
trouble as he enticed me into a game of tug-o-war with one of Ginny's
cushions. I might add that it is no good as a cushion any more. Later
Ginny took me for more lead training. I walked at heel most of the way
for her. then in the afternoon Ginny took me Nunya & Boss to the river
for a swim and play. Nunya went straight into the water and boss
followed and after a toy was thrown in a few more times, I joined in
too. (I was on a long lead while Boss & Nunya were off the leads) boss
started getting a bit silly so we hopped back into the car and came
home. the rest of the day was spent coming and going as Ginny left the
door open for us again. Once again I was seen chasing flies for a while.
I had my dinner and was told to sit and wait until told ok before
eating. We then had our PJ's put on and we all snuggled up with my dog
family again before settling down to sleep.
SUNDAY The caretakers didn’t return until late today. They took me up home for a while to have a play with their dogs. I laid around for a while before being given my dinner which once again I was made to sit and wait for, until told ok. Watched some tellie with the family before settling down to sleep.
MONDAY: I’m a good boy once again the house is all clean and in one piece when the caretakers awoke. Ginny and Jamie took me back to the kennel to see my mate Eliza, as they both had some work to do. I’ve been telling her all about my adventures with the caretakers I think she is happy for me. After Ginny and that where settled home again for the day Ginny came and got me for a while only to play today she said no training or camping tonight she told me. I had a good run and play with the dogs in the exercise pen for a hour or so before going back to my pen for the evening.
TUESDAY: Ginny came and took me today from the exercise pen where I had been playing with my pen pal Eliza. I was very happy to see her infact I got told off for jumping all over her. She made me sit and stay before leaving the pen, told me I was to walks at heel and that we were going to see her dogs again for the day. She continued my walk down the street and I behaved myself and walked at heel once again. We then went back to the house to see my mates Nunya and Boss. I had a good play with them and once again I was seen chasing flies. Ginny doesn’t mind this to much because when she calls. me I still come straight to her. Later on us dogs went down to the exercise pen again for a good run, we stayed and played down there for a good hour by ourselves and wore ourselves out. Back up the house we all chilled infact we didn’t move for sometime. Dinner was the same as always, sit, stay and wait till told ok before eating my food, followed by getting my P.J’s on all ready for bed.
LAWSON Diary Part Two.
Thursday 19th August…… Who’s a lucky boy then? Me of course, the caretakers have decided to take me home again this week as I’ve been advertised in the local paper. So if you want to come meet me please don’t hesitate. You’ll find that I really am a lovely boy and if you get the chance to meet me at their house you will find that I am a rather lovely, well mannered dog and understand just why they love me so much (It is impossible for them to keep me as they bring so many needy dogs up to their house). Today I had the pleasure of playing with Nunya and Boss unsupervised while Ginny was at k9 doing some work. I have been well behaved and haven’t got up to any mischief with Boss this time. In fact the couple of times that she popped over to check on us we were all laying around on the lounge chilling out. I got to hang out with Ginny for most the night. Then at bed time I went to bed with the caretakers and was allowed on the bed.
Friday 20th August……When everyone woke up they found me curled up on the lounge fast asleep. I was a good boy over night and the caretakers didn’t wake up to any nasty surprises of any sort. Gee I love being in a home and being part of the family. It’s raining today so I guess we will be just hanging out around the house.
Saturday 21st August….The house was all clean again as if they expected anything different. I spent the day with the family and dogs again. We went for a bit of a walk and some more lead work. Ginny was happy to find that I am getting better on along lead now and hardly pulled at all in fact when she’d call me and tap her leg I’d go straight back to her. Ginny was hoping that the nice lady I meet yesterday might come back for me however she didn’t and it seems no-one else came to visit me today. I love being here in the house. Such a shame I cant live here with these guys.
Sunday 22nd August….All good again this morning and I had a lovely nights sleep in the warm house. Everyone woke to find me curled up on the lounge again even though the doors to the bedrooms where left open for me. I will be back in the kennels today as Ginny and the family have to go watch the footy and I’m not allowed to go with them as someone may want to meet me and Eliza is missing her play mate in the kennels. However I will be going back to the house tomorrow. Ginny thought she’d leave me down there so I can have my nice juicy bone in peace tonight and not have to worry about Boss trying to get hold of it.
Monday 23rd August….Most of my day was spent in the office with Ginny. I was a little naughty when I first went to the office and had a piddle, Ginny cleaned it up and told me it was a good thing I don’t do that when at her place. I did behave myself for the rest of the day while in the office. Ginny gave me a lovely brush down today and put some doggie perfume on me. Not sure if I wanted to smell so sweet though. In the afternoon I went home with Ginny and tried to play with her dogs. Unfortunately they can be a bit cliquey at times and did their best to ignore me. I’d grab the ball and squeak it and run past the dogs, they ignored me playing tug-o-war together. So then I’d drop the ball chase some flies and try again. No, still no luck this went on for sometime so Ginny put Nunya inside so that Boss and I could have a little play. Thankyou for that Ginny, Boss and I had a great time chasing each other for the ball. We wore ourselves out then went inside after a big drink to rest up on the lounge. Later that night Ginny and the kids kept making it easy for me to get the toy, so that Nunya and Boss had to chase me for it, Nunya is so quick and managed to get the toy off me every time. Not to worry I had a great time playing with them. I was made to sit and stay until told ok for my meal again. Then some time to cuddle up on the lounge before everyone settled down to sleep.
