Wiggle - Day 2,568

This weekend we've been in London and Wiggle was able to come with us and enjoy a walk in Richmond Park:

He even went a bit faster, running with Haggis towards the water:

Sofy and Haggis were straight into the water:

Sofy was a happy girl in the water:

After taking it steady down the riverbank, Wiggle was in the water too:

Unfortunately Wiggle found it difficult getting back up the riverbank but I scrambled down to help him and soon he was back on dry land and with Haggis, Sofy and Cato watching Mindy and I eat our lunch under the shade of a tree:

After all that excitement, Wiggle was a sleepy boy:

And young Haggis was worn out too, choosing to rest his head on Wiggle's comfy bed:

Tired boys together:

Wiggle - Day 2,561

One of the presents for Wiggle and Sofy that I brought back from my holiday was a Seattle Seahawks football.  So far, it's been very popular:

Wiggle had waited patiently but got his turn:

After starting off slow, soon Wiggle was boinging with his toy:

Since he's getting older, Wiggle doesn't boing for so long or at high speed, but he still has his moments!

Happy 7th Gotcha Day Wiggle!

I got back from my holiday in time to celebrate Wiggle's 7th Gotcha Day, seven years from the day Wiggle came home.  He was a lot different then:

Years of neglect had left Wiggle sad, skinny and bald:

But now, aged 12 and three quarters, he's a happy boy, looking more distinguished with every new grey hair!

Happy Gotcha Day my very special boy, I love you so much and hope we have many more special days together xx

Wiggle - Day 2,542

I'm now on leave so Wiggle and Sofy have been enjoying the sunshine in the garden:

Wiggle came to lunch with my parents and me, enjoying our company and some pub food.

But last night, Wiggle was sulking as he seemed to know that I was going away without him:

While I will be flying out to Seattle to visit our good friend Jana, LucytheLab's mom, Wiggle and Sofy will be staying with the very lovely Kate and her family and 5 Labbies so they will have plenty of company.  Wiggle and Sofy seemed a lot less upset than me to be saying goodbye but I know they will be loved and cared for while I'm away and their every needs taken care of.

Wiggle - Day 2,532

After a rainy start, Wiggle was able to get out to Maud Heath and do some off-lead walking. He doesn't go as fast or as far these days but he still enjoyed himself:

Wiggle had his ball with him, which makes him happy:

Sofy found a bench, which made her happy:

In Wiggle's mind, he's not wobbly or wonky:

Sofy had been snacking on cowpoop:

Wiggle shows off his grey, as he grows more distinguished looking every day:

Wiggle - Day 2,518

Wiggle loves sunny days so has spent a lot of this weekend outside, enjoying the warmth of the sun on his fur.

I don't like him to lay on the hard patio slabs so take one of his beds outside for him:

Sometimes Sofy likes to sit with Wiggle:

He's not been totally lazy, he's also enjoyed some walks, done his wobbly running but right now is worn out from all the lounging around he's done and is snoring softly beside me.

Wiggle - Day 2,505

Despite the dreary weather, Wiggle and Sofy have enjoyed their bank holiday weekend.

On Saturday, Sofy went swimming.  It's only her second time but she did very well, swimming as fast as her little legs would carry her.  Her motivation was a little piece of sausage that was just out of her reach!

In between rain showers, we got outside to do some work in the garden.  Wiggle thought he needed to keep an eye on the lawnmower:

Still handsome, even with a light dusting of grass:

Sofy just followed me, hoping I would hurry up and get done so she could have dinner:
