What's missing . . . . .

[Perpetua]

 . . . . . from these photo's?

Brown Cool Mat:

Pink Cool Mat as we like to be colour co-ordinated:

Sand Pit/Paddling Pool from Argos in pink, that I've busted a gut to get hold of, filled by some miracle not even known to myself as the hose set up I have is shot away after 5 years of not using:

Yes, that's right  . . . . . a dog!

Who was more interested in the sand pit/paddling pool when it was empty, the mats haven't passed inspection so have been kicked into touch, with some disdain I might add.

Instead her sofa with a nice warm fleece seems to have more appeal!

Love her to bits of course, so all is forgiven . . . .

  They certainly know their own minds Mandy...but it made me giggle.

  I don't know how much I've spent on 'stimulating' toys for Robi since Poppy left us...& the only thing he likes is his Kong...filled with treats

Oh bless her

I've ideas for you Perpy!!

Perhaps try placing favourite ball/frisbee in paddling pool in a Fetch game?

If this fails perhaps get into the paddling pool and call her in to join you?

Hope this helps!

Once they’ve set their mind to something there’s nothing you can do.

I'd be choosing the warm fleece on a sofa too - especially since it ain't PINK - so why wouldn't the pupper?

*grin*

Cute puppie. This place needs more cute puppy pics.

We don't ' do ' ball games I'm afraid beeper . . . . flirting with male dogs, the bigger the better is more my girly's style!

She's very food orientated though, so I tried lobbing in some of her fav treats - which she was happy to watch sinking to the bottom with zero inclination to retrieve them.

Plan B, is to get in there myself - at least I'll be cooled down if nothing else!

Thank you for the suggestions though. xxx

Ain't that the truth! I've never had a pup so resolutely stubborn before . . . . if she doesn't want to do something, then she jolly well won't!

Happy to oblige Dave . . . . taken the other day, with a few fur chums.

( Eyes closed at the crucial moment of course. )

I had a dog once whose favourite place to lay was on the living room windowsill and i'm not talking about a little dog it was a big old mutt the size of a German Shepherd perched on the windowsill.

Didn't matter how often you shifted him he would jump back up there within 10 minutes, God knows why he liked that place so much it wasn't like it was about laying in the sun or anything he would still do it at night.

He won the battle of wills i gave up trying to get him to stop eventually.

My Staffie has just turned one. And I’ve spent a fortune buying toys only for them to be shredded. He now has foot long logs which he is turning into matchsticks. Lovely dog, enjoy.

True that.

Dogs have owners, cats have staff.

Pool update . . . . I've paddled, while the pupper has steadfastly refused to acknowledge even it's presence or deign to take a sip from! 

It's meets someone's requirements however it seems as I've found this squatter in there this morning.

Anyone know how to deal with an uninvited amphibian?
