Due to Popular demand!!!

Due to popular demand I bring you a short Pug pup update! Heh heh! The pups will be two weeks old this week...doesn't time fly?! Mum is still waiting for some new pics from the puggy lady because her camera broke and she had to get a new one - th horror!!!!!!!

I do have a photo of mummy Lilly with the pups, though they are only a day old in this picture. Aren't they sweet?


I still don't know if I'm getting a brother or sister...I wish the mum's would hurry up and decide!!! There is a debate going on at the moment because if we have a boy mum gets the pick of the three boys, but if we have a girl we just have to have whichever one the puggy lady doesn't choose to keep. Tough choice!!!

As for names (Suki!!!!), a boy will be Percy and a girl will be Poppy.

Mum is very excited...I am too but I hope the new pug doesn't taunt me like Sunshade's little brother!!!!! I'll let you guys know when I have anymore puggy news.

licks,
Toby

I love my granny!

I love Granny! If mum says 'let's go see Gran' I get all waggy and do the labrador bum waggle! Gran is my mum's gran, but I call her gran too. She is loads of fun considering she is an old hooman!

When me and mum come back from the park most mornings we go to see Gran because her house is on our route home. When we get there I make a big fuss of her and then she gives me a biscuit!!! A HOOOMAN BISCUT! Woooo! But first she makes me sit nicely while she finds a nice biccie for me!

Then she makes me sit AGAIN while she breaks it up and I have to do something like give paw before I get any! Aye aye aye these hoomans make us work hard!

Then....BISCUIT!!!! Woooooo!!! I Love you granny!!!

If I'm really good Gran will play fetch with me in the garden. she isn't as quick and exciting as mum but I know she is old and I think she enjoys playing with me. Granny loves dogs but she doesn't think she can look after one on her own anymore because she has really bad abnimus....or something strange like that! (Mum - athritis).




Isn't my Granny great? I LOVE YOU GRAN!!!

Sorry!

Sorry I've not been blogging much guys - it's that horrible time of year when mum has to do MORE exams at university! I think they're working her far too hard personally! I've been having a great time in this lovely weather though - as I'm sure all my British blogging pals have!

A very important announcement first - The PUG PUPS ARE BORN! Yey! Lovely Lilly gave birth to three boys and two girls on 12th April. Mum almost cried when she heard the news because 12th of April was Tramps birthday! It must be a sign! I think that I'm going to be having a sister...I'll keep you updated!

Soo.....what have I been up to! I've been spending most of my days hanging around the beach and the park.

Playing fetch....

Enjoying splashing in the sea....

Playing catch....

And also chilling out!


Because it is getting hot now mum bought me a paddling pool - yey! I just love the water sooo much! I was so so excited when she put it up that i punctured the top ring...oops! mum says she'll fix it though, and I've got a bigger pool which may go out in the garden later in the summer if i'm lucky!


On Wednesday I went to a Get Together with my labrador friends from the Labrador Forums. There were just a few of us - the big GT isn't until August...that is going to be MINDBLOWING! Hee hee!

When we got there I was very excited, especially when I saw all the other labbies. Their hoomans were all very nice too but I was more interesting in my doggie friends! Here are some photos of our fantastic day!

This handsome chappie is Harry - he loved that stick! No-one was having it!

He wasn't very interesting in playing with anyone...he just wanted his hooman to throw his stick, but he was still nice. I stopped Wez, one of the other doggies, from taking his stick because I knew he like it so much!

There's Eddie and Gracie - they are Lab crosses.

I don't think Gracie liked me too much but Eddie let me sniff him a bit!


This lovely gent is called Pudsey - he is being looked after by one of the nice hoomans.

He has VERY bad hip dysplasia so mum told me to be gentle with him. I licked him all over his face - I think he liked it. Considering he has such baddy hips he ran around a lot and seemed to have a lot of fun. Everyone loves Puds!

The little guy here is Finlay the Flat Coated Retriever pup

He is just twelve weeks old and, I have to say, very cute! All the lady hoomans wanted to cuddle him...hee hee!

The two doggies I got along best with were Wez and Toby (yep another Toby!!!). Toby is a black lab pup who is almost four months younger than me but he wanted to play, play, play and I wasn't complaining!

I had a great time with him! He gave me a run for my money for the title of tinker though...he ran off and stole a little boys sausage roll from his family's picnic! Oops! Even I wouldn't go that far.....hee hee!


I thought Wez was fantastic! He is a rescue lab (possibly a cross) and he is only just a little bit older than me so we ran around chewing each others faces as teenage labs like to do! We are well and truly mates now!


As I'm sure you can see, we all had a fab time! I think the hoomans did too - I can't wait for the next GT!

Sorry for the picture overload but I like showing off my friends! I'll write again when I can - we'll have to see what happens with mum and her silly exams...meh!

I'm baaaaack!

I'M BACK! WOOO!!

Hiya pups! Mum fetched me home today - I was soooo glad to see her! I missed her millions and millions and millions! I missed all my hooman family and my house so much even though I was only gone a day! The vet people and the nurses were very nice to me. All the ladies fell to my charms, but what do you expect? Hee hee!

I'm OK now but I have big shaved patches on my legs where I had big needles in my legs and a biiiig shaved bit on my tummy where the vet poked me and put a funny cold thing on my tummy (mum - she scanned him).

I had to stay in a crate with loads of other doggies around me so I was quite happy with a waggy tail and with the nice medicine and drippy thing in my leg I soon started to feel better. This morning the nice nurse lady took me for a walk and I went for a poo which was nice because I hadn't been for two whole days - I thought my tummy was going to explode!

Now that I'm home I have special tablets to take (again) and I have to stay on special Royal Canin wet food. I didn't know food could be so wet and sloppy! I don't think I ever want to eat biscuits again...yum yum!

When I got home I was sooo excited that I ran round and round the garden...

Then I played in my paddling pool, and I played fetch with mum, and I did a labrador bumtuck around because I was sooo happy. When we went inside I played...

and played some more and gave everyone tons of kisses and loves and then I was sooo tired that I went to sleep. It was a hard day after all!

Lots of licks,
On-the-mend Tobster

From Toby's Mum

Hi to all pups, mums and dads out there! My boy is ill! On Monday he had some nasty diahorrea again and all last night he cried and moaned. This morning he didn't want to get up, he groaned when he tried to bend or lie down and he didn't want his walk. I took him straight to the vets and she admitted him for x-rays and to go on a drip because he was de-hydrated (he wouldn't drink). The vet scanned him for any blockages this afternoon, but they've found nothing, so they think it is just a bad bout of gastro entronitis which caused him so much pain this morning, especially because he wouldn't go to the loo (possibly due to the pain).

Anyway...he's going to be off his blogging for a while whilst we get him sorted out and all better. I'm really worried about my boy, as I'm sure you can imagine. He is being kept in overnight for observation - the longest he's ever been away from home. He should be home tomorrow afternoon and I'll give you all an update when I know anything.

Rachel
(Toby's mum)
