Ha Ha Ha! Brandy's been Scalped!

Mum always keeps our coats short and while I hate having it done, it is better than having to go through a daily combing when our hair is long.

So, every few weeks she gets the clippers out and we have to endure half an hour of sheep shearing.

Yesterday it was time for the clippers again. I'm not sure why I was done first but I am SOOOOO glad I was.

After she had done me she cleaned the clippers as normal and then got our Brandy on the table. I heared the trimmers start buzzing and then I heard Mum scream and shout Dad.

I ran in too but I couldn't see what all the fuss was about 'cos our Brandy was up on the table and I was on the floor.

After a while Dad took me back into the room and Mum carried on doing our Brandy. Everything seemed normal.

Until our Brandy was finished and came into the room, looking really cross.

Normally Mum uses a guard on the clippers that leaves our fur about a No. 5 length, but she'd forgotten to put the guard back on when she cleaned it after she had done me and so instead, our Brandy had a No. 1 on his head.

He isn't best pleased.

One word - Gorgeous!

Posted by Mum for a change........


Brandy poses for a new photo:




And so does Brinkley.

Aren't they just so gorgeous.

There and back again .....A pups tale!

Me and our Brandy are used to having our photo taken but sometimes the place we have them taken change a lot. This one was taken here:

This is our new back garden. The last few weeks have been very strange for us but we've been with Mum and Dad all the time so we know that everything is OK.

It all started a few weeks ago when Mum left us alone with Dad for ages. She was gone so long we didn't think she was coming back, even though Dad kept saying she would.

Then, when she did come back, we were back into boxes appearing everywhere. Been here before so we knew what was going on. One morning a big van came and they put all the boxes into the van. Then Mum told us to go and say goodbye to the Meerkats and Big Dog so we took them all a biscuit from the cupboard and said goodbye.

We all got in the car and Mum and Dad have made it really nice for me and our Brandy on the back seat. We had loads of room and a nice furry blanket to sit on.

Mum said we were going on a long journey, like a holiday, and we would be stopping in hotels at night so we had to be good and not bark too much.

Me & our Brandy like staying in hotels. We get sausages for breakfast and lots of people make a fuss of us.

One night Dad drove the car into a big metal box and we stayed in there for a while and then we drove off again. When we got to the hotel that night suddenly we could understand what people were saying to us. Mum says it's because we were back in England where we come from.

Now we live in a new house that has a garden that we can't get out of but Mum takes is on lovely long walks.

They're nicer walks then before 'cos there aren't all those horrible spikey seed things that got stuck in our fur and had to be tugged out so they didn't get into our skin and make us poorly. We don't have snakes and big centipedes and scorpions to worry about either, all we see is big garden gnomes sitting ever so still with fishing rods and other dogs who are usually really friendly.

It's colder here as well so me and our Brandy can run about and not get really hot and have to lay down all day. mum says it snows here the same as in Spain but not as much so we will still be able to walk.

We have loads of room to play

and we're happy anywhere as long as we're with Mum and Dad.

And as long as we're together!
