Monday Mischief – My School Visit

IMG_0937

 The other day I told you about the busy week I was having with therapy visits and how on Thursday I was going to a High School.

Mum got all mixed up and actually we were going to a community college, not a high school.

Colleges are WAY bigger, this one is De Anza College in Cupertino and there are about 20,000 students [Read more...]

Monday Mischief – You can’t leave Snoopy out!

"Sometimes Dad just doesn't know what he's talking about!"  Tee Hee

 A couple of weeks ago Dad was doing a special charity 1 mile walk.

1 mile’s not much, right?!  However, he had to do it in high heels!  It was called Walk a Mile in Her Shoes!  Mum and I went along too cos I figured he needed some support!

When I got there I [Read more...]

Monday Mischief – Mischief at the vets!

Here Mum, you can hold my paw!

Before I start today, I just want to send hugs to my buddy Brooks who went to the Rainbow Bridge this weekend – Also big hugs for his family, we’re thinking of you….

 **********

If you saw my post on Wednesday, you’ll know that Mum caught me limping again! (Huge thanks for all the get well wishes – I have the best friends!)

Of course, Mum catching me limping meant another trip to the vets – doh!

I love my vet Dr Rick, but I’m old enough now to know it’s not all fun and games every time I go there!

I made sure I wasn’t limping by the time we [Read more...]

Wow Mum - Look how big it is - I can't believe how much fur I grew in such a short time! :)

Guess what – I’ve got a brand new trainee mischief master.

No sooner was Mum back from her trip and she had me up on the grooming table, grooming me to within an inch of my fluffiness!

Luckily I was ready and I had a [Read more...]

I don’t think Cosmo had been to this park before, he was [Read more...]

Monday Mischief – Uh oh – Missed Flight!!

Mum and Una

Mum thinks I don’t know when suspicious activity is going on around here – huh?

Like I don’t know the suitcase coming out means someone’s going somewhere?!

Mum’s sister just had her baby a few weeks ago.  Mum was heading off to go and visit and help out the other day.  I had to make some [Read more...]

Monday Mischief – Halt!! Who goes there!!

Mum, quick!!  Intruder Alert!!  Just as I suspected!!

Monday Mischief – Pretend to be asleep! :)

Here I am all nice and comfy - until - I get discovered!  Time to put my plan into action! Tee Hee :)

Mum tries hard to teach me the rules around here!  We’re always battling about whether I should be on the sofa and I do try hard to do what she says!

But I had an idea – what if I can’t actually hear her because I’m sleeping?!  That wouldn’t [Read more...]

Monday Mischief – Knock Knock who’s there?

Can't he stay and play Mum?

Knock, Knock – Who’s there?  Actually there was no knock at the door, nor did the door bell ring – but I started barking at the front door as I knew he was there!  Mum still doesn’t understand how I knew :)

Mum was working on the computer and told me to come to the office window to see there was no-one there and I should [Read more...]

Monday Mischief – Start how you mean to go on!

The moment I got home from my stay cation next door with Cosmo I was busy.  So busy Mum hadn’t even had time to put my bed back in place.  I always like to take my goodies that I’ve stolen found into my bed, so I just went to [Read more...]

Monday Mischief – I hope I’m right!

I so hope Santa will visit our house too and leave some gifts - I did try to be good!! :

I’ve been saying for a little while now that Santa doesn’t count Mischief when he’s deciding if you’ve been good enough to get some gifts at Christmas.

I sure hope I’m right, cos I’ve been up to quite a lot of Mischief this [Read more...]

Monday Mischief – I bit the Mailman!

You really want me to bite the mailman Mum?

First of all I have to state, it’s never good to bite anyone!  Especially not the mailman, and especially not just before Christmas when he’s busy delivering presents!!

Secondly, I need to point out, I was provoked, not just a little bit of provocation, but in your face provocation!

So what [Read more...]

Monday Mischief – The Toilet Roll Trick Never Gets Old!! :)

"Mum, I'd love to stay and chat about this, but I've got things to do out in the garden! - Gotta Go!"  Tee Hee

As some of you know, Mum’s been ignoring me a little lately, because she’s been working on the book.

I can be very patient, however, sometimes I can also get a little bored, so I just make my own entertainment!!

For those of you who haven’t tried the Toilet Roll trick, I would [Read more...]

Think I could go a week without Mischief?  Not a chance!

I have lots of Mischief still to tell you about, however, today I just wanted to interrupt normal service to tell you about a truly amazing, humble, lady and how she’s making a massive difference to the lives of both Dogs and Veterans.

Monday Mischief – Can You Teach An Old Dog New Tricks?

Hey Snoop, have you seen just how fluffy your tail is?!  Wow Dude!!

Last weekend I made a great new friend.

His name is Wyatt and he’s a 10 Year Old Golden Retriever – He lives with some very good friends of Mum and Dads.  He had Doggie siblings, but sadly they passed away and now he’s an only Dog, just like [Read more...]

Monday Mischief – Beware of Brownies and Oreos!!

This is how I looked by the time Mum and Dad got home, despite Cosmo's parents best efforts to clean me - haven't even got a clue what happened to my hair clip?! :)

Last Wednesday I mentioned that I’d been up to some MAJOR Mischief!!

Well, I wasn’t kidding!!

It all started when Mum and Dad suddenly vanished – Yep, I found myself at Cosmo’s (next door) and hey, my bed, food and everything was already there!!

Doh!!  They tricked me!!

It turns out they’d gone to visit family and friends in Europe – they even did a [Read more...]

Monday Mischief – One Dog Lost Two Dogs Found!!

Hey Cosmo - You look that way and I'll look over here...

Luckily I’ve never been lost – but I can imagine it’s pretty scary both for any Dog that’s got lost or for their family who can’t find them….

Mum and I have somehow found probably close to 10 Dogs in the last 2 years – and most of the time they’ve had their telephone number on their collar and we’ve been able to get them back home!  Yay :)

The other week Mum, Cosmo and I set off for a walk when we were stopped by a lady in a car – she asked if we’d seen her young Black Lab Mix Dog named Oscar.  We hadn’t but took down her number and told her we’d look out for him….

Hey Cosmo – You look that way and I’ll look over here…

 

We carried on to the Park, but somehow Mum thought we needed to include in our walk today the new houses at the far part of our development as that’s where Oscar would be – weird, right?  Cosmo and I didn’t argue, we just went along with her hunch.

Mum, we’re still looking out for the lost dog

 

About 40 minutes later we were there and some people were outside their houses trying to get the attention of a Lab, however, it definitely looked more Chocolate Brown than Black.

Mum asked if it was lost and they said it was, but they couldn’t get close to it as it was scared, they’d even tried treats – Mum said it may come up to us as we passed because Cosmo and I were there and true enough it came bounding over….

It wouldn’t let Mum touch it’s collar, so we just hung out for a while and eventually it was comfortable enough for Mum to hold it’s collar.

Unfortunately there was no name or number or tags – but one of the neighbors went and got a lead from their house.

Hey Buddy – Don’t worry, we’ll help you find your family :)

 

Mum called the lady from earlier and she’d just found her Dog Oscar, so this was definitely a different one that we’d found – the neighbors took the Dog in and gave him some water.

We found out later that the Chocolate Lab had been re-united with it’s family after some asking around.  It’s a new neighborhood, so most people don’t know each other or their Dogs yet….

We were very happy that both of these Dogs who decided to go off and explore and find some Mischief in the neighborhood managed to stay safe and get back home :)

We love a happy ending :)

Have you ever got out and gone looking for Mischief and got lost?

Monday Mischief – Cosmo’s getting Good!!

bearded collie dog mischief

My Beardie buddy Cosmo (who lives next door) never used to be very good at Mischief – or maybe he was just a little shy and left it all to me – but he’s starting to show his real Mischief skills now…..

Mum takes both of us running with her in the mornings – we’re both pretty good – but Cosmo does this thing when we’re getting near to home where he [Read more...]
