Wiggle - Day 1,330

Yesterday evening I went to visit Wellington in his new home, just to see how he was settling in with Allan and Nathan. Seems that they were all happy with each other as they gave me this card:

Wellington, showing off his impressive ears, sitting attentively, waiting for a cookie:

And in his bed, where he can view everything going on in the kitchen, should his assistance be needed!
We're hoping to arrange a play date for the weekend for Wiggle and Sofy to meet Welly, so as they have smelt each other via me, so hopefully they will all get along well

Wiggle - Day 1,328

Wiggle likes this cold weather. Probably because when its cold at night, I let him slowly take over more space on my bed......

Wiggle is *meant* to stay on his blankie. On his side of the bed. Clearly, there must have been a 'blankie malfunction' last night:

Wiggle - Day 1,326

Yesterday afternoon we had snow, which started after lunchtime and kept going until the evening. It didn't take long before there was enough for Wiggle and Sofy to leave pawprints in the snow:
With some help, Wiggle left a message for his love:

But before long, Wiggle's message had been covered!

Later in the evening, Wiggle went out to check and the snow was still coming down:

Later in the night, the snow was replaced by rain so this morning, the snow had turned to mush...

We had another very cold night but then a beautiful, frosty, sunny morning. Just as we were leaving to go to the field, a hot air balloon flew over:

In the field, the ground was hard and frosty, but Wiggle and Sofy were only interested in watching the ball in my hand:

Sofy, with the ball:

Side by side, chasing the ball:

Wiggle follows Sofy:

Sitting in the sunshine:

Both pouncing for the ball:

Wiggle let Sofy get the ball - or maybe she just pushed him out the way again!

After we'd come home, Wiggle and Sofy settled down to rest as I had to be somewhere else. I went with our friend Allan to Bath Cats & Dogs Home to visit this chap:

Allan and Nathan decided that they would like to adopt a rescue dog and last week went to the home. I went back with them on Sunday as they wanted to walk a dog or two, and knowing that I'd had my fair share of rescue dogs, asked my advice.

We headed straight to kennel block B and the first dog I noticed was Wellington who had been one of the dogs the rehoming team had suggested. We thought he was a Bloodhound Cross but it actually turns out that he's a Bavarian Bloodhound, so a shorter, stockier variety.

Wellington is 7 years old, very friendly and as Allan and Nathan passed their homecheck this week, in a few days time he'll be coming home to live with them. Hopefully it won't be long before Wiggle and Sofy get to meet Wellington, but first we will let him settle with his new family:

Last night it was very cold here - down to minus 10 degC. Wiggle and Sofy were all snuggly, keeping each other warm:

Wiggle - Day 1,323

This evening I took Sofy to the vet to get her weighed as since starting her diet last, last month, she's been having her green beans and vegetables with her kibble.

Sofy was very excited to be going out without Wiggle and didn't mind that she was going to the vets, bounding in and jumping up to say hello to the receptionist. We're pleased to say that Sofy has lost 1.5kg's so far, which is great progress.

Tonight I was being lazy and heated a cauliflower cheese readymeal for my supper, so as Sofy has been so good, I let her clean the dish, which she took to bed with her:

Probably enjoying the cheesey sauce after a month of kibble and vegetables!

Wiggle didn't miss out, he ate the caulifower cheese that I didn't finish....

Wiggle - Day 1,322

When I have had a busy day at work, it's nice to know that Wiggle and Sofy leave somewhere for me to sit and relax - they only take up two third's of the sofa!
