Gilbert
the Good - my morning
I slept
in a bit this morning. It was a busy day in the garden yesterday, helping to
repot lots of plants. Roxy didn’t do much; she doesn’t really like gardening
but I like to get my nose into everything. The humans call me a Monty Don dog. So,
anyway, I was a bit tired and didn’t get up until 6:15.
After breakfast,
I played with Frankie when he came round and after he had gone to school I made
Roxy play with me.
Later on
we all went for a walk. It was lovely and green. We didn’t go to any of the
ponds but I managed to find a muddy puddle and bowled Roxy over in it. She was
covered in mud and she’s still quite damp, several hours later. I only got mud
on my paws.
When we
got home it was time for my elevenses and then I had a snooze on Janice’s feet.
That way I can be sure she doesn’t go anywhere without me knowing.There are
lots of boxes in the house. New ones come every day, big, small, heavy, light,
all filled with interesting things, though some of them seem to have more paper
in them than anything else. I reckon it’s my job to make sure nothing has been
hidden in the paper. I’m very thorough. I did a really good job today.
When my humans saw the results of my work,
they laughed, but I went away from my bed to lie somewhere different, just in
case I was in trouble. I don’t think I
was, but a lad can’t be too careful.Dreaming
Look! No mud now!
After a
while, I went back to my bed because I wanted to play with my squeaky pig. When
Callum gave it to me I was only very little and I was frightened by the noise.
Now I love it, especially when one of the humans steps on it by mistake and it
makes them jump - that makes me laugh.
Arthur
and Lottie came to stay last weekend and I thought they were coming again this
weekend, but they’re not. It was fun, but we were so tired when they went home, we slept and slept.
I think my humans
had a bit of a zizz, too, though Barry calls it ‘watching rugby’ and Janice
says she’s doing cross stitch. Is it called cross stitch because she gets cross
when she’s doing it?
This is a video from earlier this month showing my approach to searching. See how meticulous I am?
Turn the sound up and you'll hear my pig!

Nobby.
Thank, Nobby - woof.
DeleteWe love your daily journal posts Gilbert. You seem to be living the good life.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Tigger. It's not bad, all told - woof.
DeleteYou are an excellent shredding machine, Gilbert!! Your people could hire you out to make some extra money! I'm also impressed by how carefully you moved your toy out of the "work area" :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenny - I'm glad you noticed how I moved my toy - woof.
DeleteYou bowled Roxy into the mud? Tsk Tsk. You certainly had fun with all that paper.
ReplyDeleteRoxy didn't really mind as we were playing - woof.
ReplyDeleteHi Gilbert - well they've provided you with good tearing paper - it makes a wonderful noise, but I prefer piggy's grunt - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeletePigs are forever, paper doesn't last - woof.
DeleteI like the name Gilbert The Good, long but character-filled.
ReplyDeleteMy late labrador was named Emperor Rudolf II of Prague which was also too long to use regularly, so we called him Rudes :)
That's lovely. There are some fanciful names around, but I'm really just Threevalleys Gilbert - woof.
ReplyDeleteI loved reading about your day, Gilbert! It seems you're and excellent searcher and shredder, but surely it wasn't very nice to push Roxy into that mud! xxx
ReplyDeleteShe didn't mind. We Labradors like getting wet - woof x
