A day in the life of....!

We have now established a bit of a routine with the puppy. I get up at 6am and let him out to pee. I then get my breakfast and the puppy's. We then settle down on the sofa for a nice cuddle whilst I watch TV and catch up on my emails,iPlayer, Archers etc. It's comforting having a dog to share this time in the day with.

The rest of the household gets up at about 9am and has a play

with the puppy before breakfast and shower.



I take the puppy for a walk around the block. If I'm lucky he rolls in something smelly or finds lots of mud to paddle in. Back home I hose him down in the garden then dry him off. I get lots of love bites, sloppy licks and wet cuddles through this process.

He then plays in the garden while I do some gardening, hang out washing and/or clear up after the puppy. He loves to run about with a plantpot in his mouth, sense out mice or monsters that have been in his domain overnight and especially enjoys enchanting his passing public. He brings a smile and laughter to the hardest heart.

Time for a light lunch and Mystic Meg impression before he collapses again so that I get time out for sewing, knitting, reading, dancing, singing or just a short zzzzzz.

Late afternoon he has another short walk, meal and training session. He is learning fast to sit, stay, leave, come and is trying to walk to heel but life is just too exciting to stay close. He certainly gets us out of the house for excercise and socialising.

After our evening meal we like to settle down for an evening of TV/reading or quiet relaxing. The puppy WANTS TO PLAY. So for an hour or so we entertain and are entertained by him as he squeaks, jumps, chews, runs,

rolls and generally creates mayhem until he collapses into his crate for the night after a quick pee.
