No it isn't me!!

This is Leo, who used to be Whisky, who disappeared (ha!), then re-appeared ... It's a long story.

I was sitting at home minding my own business, and everyone else's, when this thing arrived.  Another dog? You'd think I was more than enough for them wouldn't you?

Anyway, he was only around for a few hours before he left. One minute he was there; the next, gone. Vamoosed. Scarpered.

How did that happen? I wonder?? ;)

Such a lot of fuss about one scrawny little dog.

And what the woof! A few days later we were on the beach and found another little lost soul. Black one this time, looked a bit like me. The next thing, it was in the car with us. Well I soon put paid to that one as well. We fought like - well - dogs and dogs. So it ended up back in the car and off, out of my life. Don't know where, don't care.

How can anyone manage to lose two dogs in three days? Good going friends!

Two weeks on, and I'm back to being top dog and He comes home one evening and guess who's sitting on the back seat of the car??

Yeah, you've got it.

Whisky aka Leo.

I'll let you know what happens ...






 

Could there be a more inappropriate collar for a dog like me? Really? I'd like to know who chose it.

My money's on him: girl dog - pink flowers. Huh - wake up - see the teeth - I'll have them wrapped round your arm in no time mister.

So where's the little, black leather number I used to have? I didn't chew it up did I?

Well, I can't be seen wearing this one; it doesn't even match my lead. (Whoops! Did I say that? I mean - I don't give a woof - I'm not the fashionista around here).

But seriously, I can't go out in this thing.

Hey?

What?

Car keys? Door keys?

Yeah! The beach. The beach. 

I'm off . . .

Thought you might like to see my teeth!

Yeah, yeah, I know I haven't written for a while. Been a bit busy, biting and all that....

Well, it's all kicked off here. She's started her next novel. Books, pens, pencils, papers all over the shop. What fun!

She went away for a while (was it because I had been so naughty?) and He had to contend with me for the duration. Well, I led him a merry dance I can tell you. What with him having to work all day, and fit in my two walks, and remember how much to feed me, and my worming pills, and keep me entertained in the evenings, and squish my ticks ...

While She was  gone it was Labour Day here and, according to custom, there was a staff picnic on the beach. Risky, I know, but He took me along and I must have behaved myself 'cos I got fed lots of tasty treats and sat on three different laps in the car coming home. Then it was my turn to go away. Hmmm. There is one boarding kennels in the whole of Seychelles and they managed to root it out. I might tell you about it some time, when I have got over the experience.

Chow for now

(Chow? Isn't that the name of that yappy thing next door?) 

Crikey that was some day out!

Can't remember much about it to be honest.

No idea how I ended up with this lampshade on my head.

Whoopee!! I think there is an outing coming up tomorrow. We are all going to the vee-ee-tea, wherever that is.

There might even be food involved (tea?)

More later ...

Why do they make my dog biscuits in the shape of a bone? Am I supposed to know what a bone looks like?

Note to manufacturer: Couldn't you make them in the shape of a slipper. Preferably with her foot in it.

Oh dear. Naughty again. So I get shut out in the garden. The only thing is - well, I quite like the garden. So She'll soon have to think of somewhere else to send me. 'Specially if I keep chewing the banana tree. Not long to go now - it's almost dead.

It's a shame really, 'cos She spent ages getting ticks out of my fur. I quite liked that. Then I bit her. So we're not speaking.

You know, She and I have more in common than you'd think - that's why She ought to understand me a bit more. I was an abandoned puppy, I'm a mongrel, I've got issues. Or maybe She does. Maybe that's why She gets upset when I bite her. Biting the hand that feeds me and all that. Except it was her leg this time.

When He got home He said I would have to go back to Providence. Getting a bit tired of that joke. So when He wasn't watching I took a quick nip at her ankle - then put my head down, like butter wouldn't melt in my mouth. Oh boy - there's a thought.

And guess what ... Where did we go today? Providence.
I know I've been naughty but hey, I'm only a puppy. You see, I'm teething and it bloody well hurts. The trouble is, none of you remember teething do you. Well, let me tell you it makes me want to chew things, and chew, and chew.

She will wear floaty clothes. Tempting as hell. Now they are floaty clothes with holes in them. No dramas if you ask me. So far, I've ripped her shorts, torn her slippers, almost demolished his slippers (I love slippers), tipped over and broken a standard lamp and eaten the shade, eaten a light bulb  - I'm very bright (sorry, couldn't resist that one). Then I bit her.

It all started off as a game, you know, play biting. But I got a bit carried away and next thing I knew, her finger was bleeding and She was shouting at me and I was barking at her, and I bit her again. So it was outside for me. And, well you know the rest ... Providence. 

As it turned out, it was just a shopping trip. But it worried me for a while I can tell you.

Shopping is quite a palaver here in the Seychelles (five different shops, just to find a petrol can), but that's another story... 

What am I?

Here in Seychelles, I'm what they call a local dog  It's a polite way of saying that I'm a bit of a mixture. I've got a feeling I'm going to be quite big - just look at the size of my feet. I hope they know what they have let themselves in for.

No one really knows where I came from. They got me from the SSPCA but before that... Only I know and I'm not telling. We met a man in the street the other day who said he recognised me (!). He had seen me wandering around wasteland in this area called Providence (hmm, that's appropriate). So now, every time I do something wrong, they say they are taking me back to Providence. Very funny.
