Atman, the Manchester Terrier
Our little pup is now one. He’s still a mischievous little rascal, and we are not convinced that the neutering operation he was subjected to a few months back has really done a great job in calming him down. Also, he appears to be madly in love with the next door neighbours male dog and has been doing his best to, er, molest the other mutt. Not the sort of behaviour you would expect from a testicleless dawg!
Here is a shot of the confused pup which I took yesterday:
Not Nice
Yesterday I was out with our dog when I noticed another dog on the other side of the road. It was off its leash and appeared to have wondered into the road. The owners were a Chinese family, mother, father, and child in stroller. Unusual, I mused, you don’t see that many people of Chinese extraction with dogs.
Anyway, I continued, thinking for a moment that maybe a dog with a tendency to wander into the road should not be off its lead in a city. Oh well, it’s their dog, hopefully they know what they are doing, I hoped. Read more
Ron Howard’s Da Vinci Code Goes Down Well
This book certainly went down well with our 8 month old Manchester Terrier pup. I caught the little blighter demolishing the book this morning. He had stolen the tome from the bookcase. Only his reading skills are not all that strong (His is only 8 months old, after all) so the ripping story was, er, ripped.
I guess e-books are less vulnerable to this kind of attention!
Obviously the full effects of the dog’s recent castration have not yet fully kicked in. Apparently he will continue to produce male-hormones for the next two months or so, after which time, presumably, his tendency towards book destruction will diminish. For the moment though, he is still the mischievous pup he always was. Read more
The Unkindest cut - follow up
Our dog went in for his operation yesterday, and he seems to be doing OK. He is a bit down in the dumps and not his usual lively self, but I imagine he will get over it.
Once he perks up, I’ll take and post the odd photo of the little chap, as per Gege’s request.
