Another #terriertuesday - another day of dunking the wobbly old man to keep him cool

Dogtor Approximate@dogtorapproximate· Jul 14

Our routine is confused . Pony trainer is here today instead of Friday . I can't get out to watch which is frustrating. Wonderful husband and friend are hosing them down before and after training to help them stay not too hot.

I'm only just now having my morning cappucio and it's very generous!

Goxua has found a friend who always listens.

'Not today, #caturday'

Just one front paw visable from a cat hammock looking like a dismissive wafting away gesture

These are interlined but obviously not blackout lined :( I should have done that. I might attach the ready made ones to the back though -

Curtains closed but letting out through.

The curtains have a pattern of a fawn and a monkey on a flying carpet and red and white hairballs. Totally sane.

Every river and stream should be clean enough for this .

Wobbling away from his dunking as fast as he can wibble and demonstrating why one of his nicknames include 'the pink shrimp' or 'prawnio'

Goxua most certainly is not .

Oh yes, having a lodger is great! She used to grill at a restaurant/ smoke house and made brisket - I just had to make salads

I've got 4 cats in their play house

Ok I got ponies for you - Luna loving a salt lick , Rosa suffering with bugs so looking sad , and their friends loving the mister

One of the new lodgers for #wolfdogwednesday

It's messy here but we start every day with a cuddle - she loves routine .

This was 2021whwn we got Ma'amoul. His aunt had just died and I'd tracked down her brother and this litter . Hallelujah and Ma'amoul's aunt were very close friends, she'd mothered him a little, and now he became Ma'amoul's daddy.

One of Croquembouche's litter mates sent this to celebrate the year- Croquembouche is the one back right . Her siblings are all so amazing. Two are shown and do amazingly well, a third went to a couple of shows but didn't like it ( still was second highest ranking ).

A litter of Cornish Rex kittens about 9 months ago - before we all came and took them. They are all named after tennis players in their records - on the back right it coco the Gaiff- who Bluesky knows as Croquembouche - a chocolate tortie beauty .

It's only 29 c, so Phaia still needs a sleeping bag , but she can have her head and arms out

This grumpy poking baby was only grumpy because I stopped scratching . She demanded scritches from 5am to 6am. She doesn't persist if we don't oblige but bed is the only time she is snuggly so I rarely say no !
