Pushing the limits of bones not allowed in the house to the absolute limit. But nonetheless sticking to the rules.

Such a good boy.

Today I made fish pie..with a lot of fishy milk left over. Ben loves fishy milk. He had a large bowlful outside at lunch time.

It is his dinner time now, a James Welbeloved dried kibble. He is not interested.

If there were more fishy milk on offer I think he would manage it.

Mr Spirit is out in the garden painting a weathervane with Hammerite. No overalls as his were ruined last week. I can't bear to look.

Fir is making blinis. He wanted to, I was going to.

Its a long process with him doing it . He's doing it while drinking something called a Santa Cruz Daisy. But he didn't have any soda water so he made a double with out sofa water and it drinking it Un diluted but over ice. I think this might make the blini process progressively slower

Kiwi looks so grown up! He's a very handsome dog

Thank you! His trim is a bit dodgey ATM, specially round the head, but he's always sweet looking.

He really loves dancing, he's up on his hind legs even if I half turn around quickly, in the hope I have time for a little jig with him.

I really need to spend some time clicking him more.

No wine with dinner, stuck with gin & tonic.

After dinner I asked "should I have spiced coke & rum". As one OH and DD said "No!".

I have one anyway.

All I can think is taht they did not want me to have empty calories. I have been sent outside to relax whilst they clear up..so I have come in search of NP but it is very quiet.

Dinner was kept waiting as OH was watching dad's army..an episode he had not seen before...you could not tear him away..too mean. I really didn't think there were any 'new' to him episodes left. He never tires of it.

Dh's blinis took about two hours. They were excellent though, very light.

Kiwi and I did some clicker training because I felt so bad. We used white rat and rabbit, and started work with more than one object at a time.


It was quite hard going because rat was favourite. ( I should have used neutral objects really )


I think he's probably ready to start learning some things around home now and developing his vocabulary a bit. This is a game dog dog would enjoy too so I might try setting it up for a v. Short session with each daily. Trick is to get session length right kiwi actually is better in a longer session than dog dog. Who picks things up quickly then gets bored. Kiwi doesn't pick things up quickly and when he DOES wants to do it again and again and again.

I don't dispute it but I didn't know you thought of me that way!

Cava with dinner. I've just bought a new/old sofa from eBay as instructed by Doozer. I believe that this is the beginning of the end of the renovations.

God, I want a drink. I wish I could be the board lush.
