Perfect Pooch Ponderings :)

Just posted this up at amazon.co.uk: "Emma and me wanna tell you about the highly moving and entertaining biodography called 'Nobody's Poodle' of the totally Gorgeous Gizmo aka Snr Giz, who with human mum Nikki Attree runs Wooftastic Books (http://wooftasticbooks.com/) which has books by and about dogs including ours but this is about his one. It is the story of how he travelled from the UK to Tenerife following his then humans, but how so sadly they abandoned him - they had reasons and he was very forgiving but it's still a very horrible thing to do - but how he bravely survived all sorts of adventures and perils, which make you laugh and cry and bark and howl all at the same time and different times too. Giz is a highly intelligent pooch - like me I have to say ;) - with a wonderful wit and sense of the different personalities of his fellow species - that's dogs - who come into his story and make us cheer and growl and yap and do whirly dances in sympathy, sadness, annoyance and joy. Giz is so courageous and though his story will have you on the edge of your seat or biting your paws in concern it all works out fine and we won't spoil it by telling you how except that it has to do with lovely Nikki Attree :).

Sadly too many dogs get abandoned by humans but fortunately so many of them then get adopted by other humans to go live in their furever homes. Dogs love humans unconditionally. Well this dog - me - Ted Terrier - absolutely adores them! Please, humans, read this story and be inspired to do all you can to help and adopt abandoned dogs or support the charities set up to help dogs with no homes to look after them or find new homes. Love, hugs and licks Ted Terrier XOX"

Anyone for Tennis?

When I became the Official Ball Dog at Wimbledon they told me my job was to catch any stray balls and put them into the hand of the human who starts things off my hitting the ball with their racket first. I thought I was doing it better than any of the ball boys or girls but then I got told I was doing it too well and I need to allow the human on the other side of the net to hit the ball with their racket before I chase the ball down. But I have heard many tennis players say chasing down balls is the 'stuff of champions' and that means you are doing very well if you are a Wimbledon Champion!

Love and licks, Ted XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

Ted Queueing the Barbs :)

When the sun comes out mad dogs and Englishmen go out in it at midday so humans say :) Well I am not a mad dog - I'm a very sensible one - but I go out in it and in other weather any time at all though rain often stops me doing it cos the drops of water make me go all shaky. Humans of other nationalities also go out in the sun but mostly not at midday cos they know it is too hot and may make them feel unwell or go mad themselves. For English humans the sun is so rare that they wanna make the most of every last shine of it. And then when it happens they also wanna cook outside and they have barbeques - which doesn't mean queueing for barbs but putting meat, or if you want vegetables but I'd rather have meat, on top of hot coals til it's ready for eating - and they get all excited and invite other humans round to enjoy it with them too. The sun came out last week and so I helped my humans do the barbequeing of sausages - which for some reason get called hot dogs when they get put in buns, which they often do after they've been queued on the barb - cos that's one of the main things they like to barbeque and then I ate some too cos I like them too and I was really the hottest dog! This week it has been raining but I hope we can do mad hot dogs again soon :)

P.S. Emma has just said we spelt barbeque wrong and it is actually barbecue but we got confused cos people make it into a smaller word as BBQ ;)
