#TerrierTuesday #DogsofBlueSky Happy Terrier Tuesday! It's a complicated day, so Max has plenty of opportunity for mischief. So good to see a canine sense of humour. "I'm Max, and I approve this message."
#DogsofBlueSky Plenty of good sniffings for Max this afternoon. Photo of garden today.
#TerrierTuesday #DogsofBlueSky Max helps by, barking at hedgehogs, bins, le néant. Mostly he barks to tell us when the other one is barking. Chief Communication Officer. He'll lend a helpful paw with my touch screen,and save me from doomscrolling. Image shows Max checking a delivery for treats.
#TerrierTuesday #DogsofBlueSky Trigger Warning: BINS. Bark, bark, bark, bark, Growl, Bark, bark, bark, bark, BARK ,Growl Thump, thump, Bark, bark bark bark bark, Growl Bark, bark, growl, bark bark THUMP!!! (Gets higher in pitch) Bark, bark, bark, bark, squeak. OH is getting bins. Trying to work.
So sorry. Here anytime you want for dog pix, recipes, invective, whatever. love Lynn and Max
#TerrierTuesday #DogsofBlueSky Thoughts of Chairman Max. "Good Morning Terriers! Let us use this time to come together and make our just demands! Raise the Cheese Tax! No More Baths! Free Rats for all! Resist Much, obey Little! ¡No Pasaran!"
We just gave up with Toby (BTX, OTRB 2008) and bought carpets to match him.
#TerrierTuesday #DogsofBlueSky Happy Terrier Tuesday! Bonne Fête Nationale! Here's Max. Relaxed and waiting for the next food. He seems OK in the heat, except at night, when he is restless.
#TerrierTuesday #DogsofBlueSky #Gotcha Max, in the day he was brought by the Wainwright Shelter. Caution: This dog rampaged through the house and garden, stole, dug, jumped up on counters and walls, howled, made noises like a theremin for weeks before settling for us. Patience and treats needed.
#TerrierTuesday #DogsofBlueSky A postcard from the past. Two girls, who look like they are from an E Nesbit book, pose with a Jack Russell, who is about to leap off and destroy something. No dates on the pc, but looks pre WW1. Too prosperous, but could be my Grandmother. So many possibilities ...
#@louiestowell. Cumbria 's Loki Stone. But you might not know there are Dragons on fonts here too, one is in Dearham, and the other , described as an 'affronted' dragon by Pevsner, in Bridekirk. Font in Dearham.
Cumbria View from bedroom window. Hazy mountain in in distance is Skiddaw. A breeze is starting up and clouds are moving. The only noise is the field being cut for silage. Max STILL wants to play.
#TerrierTuesday #DogsofBlueSky Guilty as Charged. Is this the face of someone who would move two chairs and jump onto the kitchen table to steal a large, thawing Cumberland Sausage? He did not seem contrite.
#TerrierTuesday #DogsofBlueSky Thoughts of Chairman Max... Must try harder. Need opposable thumbs. Human servants not up to satisfactory levels of efficiency. Need to take over the World. Happy #TerrierTuesday, all, we rise at dawn. Victory shall be ours! But first, chewing.
#TerrierTuesday #DogsofBlueSky Max, in his garden, exploring. An early photo of him, soon after he came to live at our expense. Happy #TerrierTuesday to all who celebrate.
#TerrierTuesday #DogsofBlueSky Yesterday.... 8 am. Binmen. Max barking. 8.30 am. Bins in. Max barking,headbutting door. 9.am Tidying. Max in the way. 10 am. Man doing Service arrives. Takes two men to get Max safely in dining room. Barks. PM. Hedgehog: Uproar. Late: OH puts out bin. Max howls.
#TerrierTuesday #DogsofBlueSky Categorical Imperative: Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law. Dog imperative: Play with me now! Max's introduction to Practical Philosophy.
Sir Henry Newbolt's "Vitae Lampada" . It says quite a lot about English (deliberately excluding Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish who are much more sensible) men. Your pitch is a bit bumpy, but should take spin.
#TerrierTuesday #DogsofBlueSky #GreatScapes From the Archives. Here's Deefa Patterdale (OTRB 2021), on his first holiday with us, doing a bit of archaeology on Skye. I think this was on the Waternish Peninsula.
#TerrierTuesday #DogsofBlueSky Early essential sniffing to avoid heat. Currently: dossing. Happy Terrier Tuesday everyone. Let's be careful out there!
#TerrierTuesday #DogsofBlueSky The fur around Max's face kept reminding me of something... Axolotl and Maxolotl.
#TerrierTuesday #DogsofBlueSky #BTPosse In honour of this afternoon's Association Football, I present to you a French Postcard ( steady at the back, not that sort), dated May 1902. Who let the dogs out?
#TerrierTuesday #DogsofBlueSky Late night last night. OH had to spend time hunting the hedgehog and putting him safely into the field behind us. Because Max, hunterkiller terrier, was DESPERATE to kill it, scrabbling, squealing with frustration and headbutting the back door. Quiet now.
#TerrierTuesday #DogsofBlueSky Trying to re-watch 'Picard' season Three, final episode, at the point where the Fleet is firing on the 'Titan' and the Borg Queen is going for it big time, I Had To Pause it. Max, angry at being shut in, was barking so loudly I couldn't hear the battle! Unrepentant.
Un film de #TerrierTuesday. "Les Yeux son Implorant". Avec Max, joué un role important, et la chanson, 'Les fromages de Paris', chanteé par Juliette Greco.
