Mad Dogs and Busy Women

This is just a quick post to let everyone know that I'm still here, it's just been a bit busy with my new job and my old job and fitting everything in.

Henry is still just as mad, he's currently barking at the farm dogs as they go up the track for their morning preamble to feed the sheep with the farmer. To see the farm dogs he has to balance with his hind legs on the arm of the sofa and his front paws reaching over about 2.5feet to the window sill which is quite slippy. How he does this without slipping is beyond me.

Molly is still very laid back and very much in charge, her winter coat is fully in now and she is like a giant hamster, all lovely and velvety soft, I'm not quite sure what it says about the temperature of our house if one of our dogs has grown a winter coat but she seems to have done this for both the winters we've had her. No complaints here though as it's gorgeous to stroke.

And wee Pup Badger is finally caged. Hahaha! I knew I'd get revenge somehow! Only joking! He decided to go on a one pup demolition voyage in the kitchen so it was either get a cage or move out myself and as it's cold out there I decided the cage was probably the best option, and what a great move. Badger is now in the living room at night with the other two and has settled in the cage really well, I never thought I'd ever get a cage for a dog but it instantly removed about 95% of the stress of having to keep an eye on him all the time. He NEVER wee's in it which again is another stress removed and I know that when he is inside it he can't chew anything that he is not meant to chew. Consequently I have found that my relationship with him is a million times better as he never does anything to drive me mad so we are now really good friends. Not that Other Half likes that very much, especially as we were out yesterday afternoon and on letting Badger out on our return he ran straight past Other Half and bounded up to me, whoops! Guess I'm just more of a dog person than Other Half hahaha!
