I have been poorly sick

It was susch a good idea at the time...I was at work with C and having a mooch around the back of one of the buildings when I spied a container that had some cooking fat in it. It smelt pretty good to me so I ate as much as I could before C stopped me. All was ok for a little while, but on the way home in the car a gurgling started in my tummy and then it all came up! C pulled into a petrol station and sat me on the back seat of the car while she cleared up the mess in my crate and I managed to not be sick the rest of the journey home.

This is how I felt afterwards...


Then...in the early hours of the morning up came the rest! I decided not to wake L & C and waited until they got up to walk me in the morning to show them how sorry for myself I was feeling. So at 6am L cleaned out my crate and changed my vetbed. Apparently there were leaves in it as well....well it all tasted tasty at the time! By the time we got back from my walk I was starving, but only allowed a small breakfast, not fair at all!

After a morning snooze I was feeling back to my normal self and L & C seemed to have forgiven me!

I must not chase the swans...

Last Sunday I thought I would get L & C up very early. They were grumbling a bit as it was raining, but they took me down to the lagoon which is one of my favourite places. We walked around it a couple of times and then I saw them....three swans sitting on the grass. I played it cool and wandered over and then at the last minute I made a dash for it and chased one of them. L & C were really annoyed with me, but it was only a game honest, I wouldn't have hurt it.

After we had all been back to bed for a morning snooze we went to a garden centre and I was caught short and had a little wee up some flower pots. Again L wasn't very happy with me. Luckily no one else saw.

It was still raining in the afternoon so we went to the Railway for a walk. I saw Marco's owner and her friend and ran over to see then as I could smell she had treats. I jumped up and grabbed the glove out of her hand and it didn't taste good so I dropped it on the floor and carried on pestering her for a treat which I got. I then spied the glove and thought it did look tasty after all and put one paw on it and then put the rest of it in my mouth and pulled. At this point L & C were running over and shouting at me. They rescued the glove (now with a new hole in it) and apologised to the lady who said it was fine...she said something about she has dogs and knows what they are like.... I was getting big scowls from L & C at this point so thought I had better behave myself for the rest of the walk....and the rest of the day.

Just call me Ollie Ogden...

Giant shadows

On our walk yesterday we managed to create some massive shadows. Check them out:

A new friend got in on the act

Doodling in Devon!

I have just returned from a brilliant holiday in Devon. L & C took me to Dittisham near Dartmouth for a week. We stayed in a farmhouse with a HUGE garden and I had lots of fun exploring every inch of it.

As the sun was rising - yep I got them up very early every morning

One morning there were loads of sheep in the road, they gave me a right fright so I made sure I barked very loudly at them. The next morning there was this one in the back of the tractor, it must have wandered off again and been rounded up, so naughty.... (I never wander off...)

Every few days some more of these mole hill things had appeared so I had to make sure I checked them out, but I didn't find any moles.

Me? Had my face down a mole hill?! Never!

We had a brilliant time at Blackpool Sands. It was sunny and warm even though it was February. I even came away from a picnic when C called me as I was desperate to play with my ball.

Spot the ball

Who is that handsome fellow emerging from the deep blue sea?

We had a wander around Totnes. I was allowed in some of the shops, but not the one I wanted to go in the most...the butchers.

Keeping an eye on the pesky train that kept disapearing into the mountain

L & C then took me to a pub and I tried to hide how bored I was...

On the way to Paignton we stopped at Cockington Country Park and I had a little paddle (oh yeah and I got really shouted at for running across the road twice!)

Doing my best panther impression

Finishing the day at Paignton Beach


This dog digging in the Farmhouse's garden sent me into a barking frenzy a couple of times. It just never seemed to stop...

On Friday we headed to Berry Head for a bounce with Mrs A and her doods Becky and Jack. To get there we had to go across the water on a ferry.

Me near the edge at Berry Head (C wouldn't let me get any closer)

L braved the edge and took this photo of the view

Here is Jack, me, Mrs A and Becky

And then unfortunately it was time to pack the car and head home...

Mirror mirror on the wall...

...who is the fairest doodle of them all?



We had a woof-tastic long walk at Ferring beach yesterday. I met loads of golden retrievers on my way along the beach (they had just been on a dog meet) and also tons of other dogs.
There was lots of dashing to do and as usual my quick manoeuvres and quick cornering kept me one step ahead of them - I have unbelievable tekkers!

I was sooooo zonked when I got home and slept all evening (L & C were very impressed)

Look what I made...!

Well actually C made it not me, though I would have helped if I had been allowed, but for some reason she made it when I was asleep in the kitchen.

It has now been put 'out of Ollie's reach'....story of my life...
