I have had this in the post this morning. It is a photo of my dog which my family took when they visited us from the Shetland Isles.
I just had to show everyone what a ruddy scruffpot she is.

But she is lovely Maisie!!

[Maywalk]

Yes she is Rowan.

She has just come back from her last walk and she has gone straight into the bathroom and jumped up on the toilet seat to have her bum and paws washed.
She WONT jump up on the seat unless she can see her towel on it.

NO I have not trained her to do that.
My granddaughter started doing it when we first had Gigi ( my dog ) because she was supposed to be my granddaughter's baby.

Gigi is the darling of the Close and I have to let her out to greet all the neighbours when they come home from work.

AAAAAW she's really cute.

[Maywalk]

Thanks Monsy I think so too.

She is a foot licker and one dare not walk about with bare feet because she has a passion for licking folks toes.

[Rowan]

Oh BLISS!! My last dog was a foot licker! Max just looks at me as if I'm daft when I wave my feet in front of him!!

[Pam]

My little dog is a foot licker too!! The first thing my youngest son does when he comes round is to take off his shoes and socks so she can lick his feet... She prefers his feet to mine!

[Maywalk]

Perhaps his taste sweeter Pam.

[Pam]

I think you are probably right there!! My son lived with me until about 18 months ago and she absolutely adored him.

[Maywalk]

Loved it Pam

Your son has not flinched by the looks of it.

Bonnie is enjoying herself.

[Pam]

They make a good pair don't they? As a little boy he always liked the soles of his feet tickled....

[Emm]

What a lovely shine to both dogs' coats.

Hi Emm,
My dog has a vet vit and an odourless garlic tablet sprinkled on her first lot of food each day.
She is allergic to the flea stuff that you get from the vets and I have found the old fashioned remedy of a garlic tablet helps keep unwanted visitors at bay.

I brush her for ten minutes each morning but being a Cairn Terrier her coat does not stay combed for long because the top coat is very wiry.

Bonnies coat really looks beautiful though. The photo shows her coat up well.

Maywalk.

[Pam]

Emm and Maisie, Thanks, Bonnie does have a lovely coat. Everyone comments on it.

Maisie, your little friend looks a real character!!

[Maywalk]

She sure is Pam.

She goes crackers till I let her out of the gate to go and say Hello to the neighbours. As soon as she has had a fuss she trots back in.

When I am out walking with her and she sees someone way off in the distance she has a habit of standing up on her back legs like a ruddy meerkat to get a better view.

I have been asked if I have trained her to do that and my answer is No its because she is nosey.
