This Is How I Roll

Sometimes I relax in my yard near my mum and just watch.

Other times I like to roll around and wiggle my body with my ball in my mouth.

I see you with that camera, watchin' me, Mum!

And this is how I look after I've finished rolling.  My coat grabs lots of leaves and small sticks, especially in the late summer or fall after the leaves have begun to fall.  My mum brushes me a lot when there are leaves on the ground!

What about you?  Do you like rolling around in the grass and leaves?

Are You Teasin' Me?

I can't believe my mum is posting this photograph of me all wooly and overgrown.  She thinks I look adorable this way.

And, she held a biscuit in front of her face so I would look at the camera. 

I told her to look into my eyes and I asked her if she was bein' kind.

She gave me the biscuit.  Thanks, Mum.

Bath Time

Two Fridays ago my mum and sister took me to the Doggie Day Spa for a bath.  It was good for my mum because she could stand to give me a bath instead of having to kneel.  But it wasn't so good for me because I don't like water -- except to drink.

Mum thought it was a nice place.  This photo is before they got me wet.  Thank goodness Mum didn't take photos while I was drenched. 

They thought it went pretty well.  Mum wanted me to be very clean when I went to the vet to have my teeth cleaned the next Wednesday.

Now my teeth look pearly white!  Mum tried to get a photo of me smiling but I don't smile for the camera.

Mum asked about a groom while we were there for my bath and a nice lady came out and greeted me.  She said she'd clipped Airedales before and would clip me if my mum wanted.  But that lady's schedule is booked and she can't do it will the end of October, which is after Mum's next surgery.  So maybe I won't get a clip for a while, unless the weather cools and Mum feels like she can handle it herself.  She did it last year but she didn't have surgery last year.

Maybe the next time you see a post I won't look so woolly.

Thanks for visiting and reading.
