Today has been day of 'oh my dog' and Argh!!!!!
We started well everyone was fed and off the pups went into the garden.

Then small puppy (same one again) was spotted sitting in the middle of the lawn doing some weird form of Ti Chi. Lifting his left front leg high in the air was moving it out to the side. 'Oh my dog'......!
A quick examination and I discovered another tick! This year has been great for ticks, a mild winter followed by a cool wet spring and now a hot dry summer.
Could my pigeon pest here be responsible? Did he bring ticks to my garden? Or was it Mrs Tiggywinkle on her nightly prowl?

So tick removed and indoor pen cleaned, a trip to the local tip to get rid of today's soiled paper, and I thought I could come home to a peaceful hour before work.
It was not to be!

As we walked into the house a well known smell greeted us.... Poo! The pups had obviously eaten something which disagreed with them and we had explosive jet propelled poo squirting out their backsides.
Another trip to the vets. Ian Paine senior partner of Hampden Vets was on duty, I think he thinks I am the doggy equivalent to the 'Crazy Cat Lady', not by numbers but by bizarre things that happen here!
Cleaning the garden up I had several helpers.... or was that hindering mischievous puppies?

They are still bright, clever and inquisitive puppies despite the exploding bottoms.
Hope you like Monty's selfie taken when sat on my lap and trying to get hold of the camera.
