Canine Chaos

Well the tree chaos has not stopped. Or should I say canine chaos. I got in from work quite late last night and let the dogs out last thing for a wee. Two hours later they wanted to go out again. Then two hours after that they wanted to go out yet again. This sometimes happens when there is a fox or deer lurking around so I decided to ignore them and go back to sleep.

Bad move.

In fact very bad move as when Other Half got up he found three piles of diorreah and two wees downstairs.

It was Henry. We decided to try him on Bakers food. He'd had it a few months ago and he got quite bad trots but we thought it could be because he had been starved and his system wasn't used to it so we put him on Eukanuba and that suited him fine, but not our bank balance as it's nearly £40 a sack. So we tried Bakers again which is far cheaper and more readily available but what a price to pay!

So I had to go out today and buy more of the expensive stuff for Henry, while Molly is still on the Bakers which she loves and Badger is on puppy food, doggie diets in this house are getting more complicated by the day.

When I got back it looked like the dogs had been having a party in the living room. Badger had managed to sneak a plant pot full of peat into the house and had thrown the peat all over the carpet. He'd also been chewing on a bauble from the tree which left a red stain on the carpet and also pink stains up his front legs so now he is a tri-colour collie of the red, white and black variety.

As if that wasn't bad enough, Badger had also been in at the coal bucket, adding grey to his white bits. Very strangely he eats coal, Henry does the same from time to time so I can only imagine that there must be something in it like a mineral or something that is good for dogs? Who knows? What I do know is that it leaves very black and difficult to remove marks on the carpet.

All the dogs had been running about and jumping on the sofas making the whole place look completely dishevelled, I'd only been gone a couple of hours and it would take me the rest of the day to sort it out! So I spent the afternoon vaxing the carpet and cleaning away peat and coal and then after all that I went to work for a rest!
