It's a dog's life

It's a hard life!

Doggy Doings

Sally has been rather spoiled lately.

A dog grooming parlour opened in Padiham recently called Shampooch. Now up until now we have trimmed Sally ourselves using some dog clippers. This invariably starts off pleasantly until we get to feet, posterior and ears. Things turn a bit testy then and she always looks a bit wonky by the time we give up. So I decided to book her in for the works.  She had a wash, trip and nail clip. Brilliant.

Also treated her to a new collar from Podgy Paws in Keswick. I can't believe all the stuff you can get for your canine buddies these days. Goretex jackets, life jackets, rucksacks, walking shoes.... the list goes on. Check out their website to see some of these items being modelled!

Everyone knows that dogs NEVER climb trees

But if they are bold....
and adventurous too...
it might just be possible...
maybe....
they do!

This is one of our favourite stories at bedtime. Along with all the other Lynley Dodd characters - Hairy MacLary from Donaldson's Dairy, Slinky Malinki and Scarface Claw.

The reason I mention it is because during all the tree climbing today Sally decided to join in and had to be rescued about 12 feet up before she fell out of the tree!  Half dog half squirrel maybe?

May I present.... Schnitzel Von Sally!

Sadly no photos of her right up the tree as was too busy trying to grab her before she fell out!
