Bath Time

Hi All,
Dear Readers, Blake smells! I know you find this hard to believe - he is a poodle after all.   Due to the surgical removal of one of his toys (see previous blog entries for details), he could not be groomed.  Unlike Baron, who, believe it or not, prefers to walk around mud puddles, Blake jumps into them!  Blake's faithful servant (that would be me) had no choice but to bravely bathe him, despite Master's entreaties not to.  It was a beautiful day - 85 degrees and sunny.  When Master returned home from work, he wondered why Blake was dripping wet. I simply told him there was a freak shower and Blake was caught in it.   Alls well that ends well.    Botswain

Hi All
I neglected to explain in my last post, that while the adorable teddy bear featured, did not need to be surgically removed; yes, Blake regurgitated it whole (is this fun or what?), the smaller squeaky toy (size of a $1 bill), did require surgical removal.  This "rescue" dog may look like a "lamb" but he is a survivor.  Actually, you have to admire that about the little guy.
All for now - I am still recovering from Blake's surgery.

True Confessions

Hi All,
This may come as a surprise to some of you, but Baron and Blake's loyal employee (that would be me) is not much of a cook.  Nonetheless, it was a shock to discover that Blake will do anything to avoid a home-cooked meal, particularly if I am the cook.  He recently needed emergency surgery to remove a dog toy (squeaker included) which he enthusiastically swallowed.  Fortunately the 4 1/2 inch teddy bear (shown below) did not require surgical removal - trust me, you don't want the details. 
I am insulted - he prefers eating random dog toys (heaven knows where he got them) to my cooking!  By the way, if you are missing this bear, please let me know; I will be delighted to return it to its rightful owner.
All for now,
Botswain
