The Life of Izzie: Part Five

Hello everyone!  I think I need to reintroduce myself seeing as I’ve been so absent!  We’ve been so preoccupied and the computer has been so uncooperative that I just didn’t get to posting anything on my monthly blog for a long time:(

But now I’m back and I want to tell you about everything I’ve been learning and doing.

Firstly, I learnt that cats are sometimes right...remember this post when I told you I would be having a special operation?  The cats didn’t lie – I really disliked being dropped off at the vet to be spayed and when I came home I was in some pain and there was a tiny cut on my belly.  Mom gave me painkillers to make me feel better.

 

Dancing!

Then the family and I moved house – it was rather exciting.  New smells and things to discover... At first I escaped out the garden because I’m so sneaky and small to chase any fowl roaming around but now I pretty much stay in the yard till walk time.

Moving!

Walk time!  I have a minimum of  one walk per day.  I go with my grandmother in the mornings for her brisk walk.  Mom and the aunts stay home to get done for breakfast.  We are usually gone for half an hour – the only downside is I have to wear a collar and lead.  Two or three times a week when Granddad gets home from work, he takes the smaller aunts and Mom to the forest for a long casual walk.  Mom always lets me run off-lead then.  We go for about an hour and then I’m so thirsty!  Fortunately Mom takes water along for her and I to drink.

Babysitting!

Now that the weather is warming up, we are beginning to go to the beach again.  However, from December 1^st no dogs are allowed at the beach till way into January.  Although I am pretty obedient off-lead, Mom keeps a sharp eye on the people coming to the beach.  If there are any dogs within a close distance, I get put on the lead till they go.  It isn’t that I’m unfriendly – I love all canines, but Mom is worried I’ll go up to the unfriendly dogs that are being walked on lead or run off with a fun playmate.  As if!

 

Aunt Beth and I.

But at night I finish off a great day with a bowl of good food and then I jump onto Mom’s bed.  She usually comes soon after I retire for the day.  She and I sleep side by side and every now and again I give her a cuddle.

It’s a dog life...

Kisses,

Izzie
