September 2024 - Sentenced to the Exercise Field

This is the face of a dog found guilty of rolling in poo. Sentence: bath time. I couldn't stop myself. It smelled so fresh, so pungent. I needed to wear it like a perfume. The mistake I made was in leaving it visible to the humans. Not only could they smell it, they could see it. Next time, I played clever. I rolled and rolled until I really ground that poo in deep, wiping the residue from my external coat. The Man could smell it but wasn't sure exactly where it was. When we got home, he tried to remove it using loads of wipes. I hoped he'd run out (and he came close). Unfortunately, the Woman intervened and gave me yet another bath. Oh well! Never mind. There's always next time.

We had a guest again this month. Molly's human was away on yet another holiday, so she came to stay with us.  I thought I was good at begging. I stare and occasionally offer a paw. Molly, on the other paw, gets up right close to the treat pocket and starts to scrape away like she digging for gold. I mean, the Man is partly to blame. If he insists on lying on the floor, where she can reach him (she's only tiny), what else should he expect. She said she was starving, but I only occasionally ate all the food in her bowl. 

We both got sentenced to half an hour's detention in the secure dog park at the Hillington Dog Fields. The Man drove us there, claiming to know the location because he once crashed a van into those fields. That didn't fill me with confidence, but at least there was no black ice that day.   

The Man couldn't afford a proper mugshot.

So he did these instead.

 

Doesn't look posed at all.

Will I run this way?

Or that?

Now what?

You can do it, Molly.

Do I get to keep the flag?

This one was easy.

Molly is showing off.

Now, where has she gone?

Very funny

I'm not going through there.

I'll only do it for a treat.

And another... (you get the idea).

Sod this for a game of jump over the posts. I'm off.

That tired me out. Call me 'Grassface'.

Am I Evil?

Or Divine?

Now that the man has stopped working, October is going to be a busy month. Here's a sneak peek.

Can you guess where I am?
