Just a quick post to wish you all a VERY happy Christmas, despite the mess we're all trying to cope with.
Speaking of mess, on Tuesday Len spotted Dudley race upstairs - looking decidedly naughty. He followed him and caught him on our bed chewing an offcut of wood he'd picked up very quietly from the garage where Len had been working. We think he was about to try and hide it in the bed - little tinker
It's almost impossible to get a photo of him these days as he just fidgets as soon as you get the camera out. This is the best Len could do:
His lovely pale peach ears are hidden by the false 'beard' on the hat to keep it on for at least 30 seconds and his nose is his Winter 'snow nose' which happens each year so isn't unusual. Despite my daily care, once he hit two years old he does have a bit of discolouration around his mouth and under his eyes. He'd just had a huge drink of water before this was taken so his beard is wet which makes it look more pronounced.
But, he's still our beautiful boy and is such a joy, if anything with more character. During the run up to Christmas he's been into absolutely anything and everything. We can't move without him trotting along to check out what's going on!
He also doesn't look too thrilled about 'doggie sized Santa hat' but if you look closely just below the middle of his nose, there's a little smile lurking as if he just knows it's his duty to act up!
Stay safe, enjoy Christmas Day and I'll be back ASAP!
Special woofs from Dudley as well as lots of love from Di, Dudley and Parsnip xxx

ReplyDeleteSanta Dudley couldn't be more adorable, Di! Thank you for sharing and for your Christmas wishes! I hope you have been enjoying your Christmas Day! Please continue to take care and I hope you have many blessings in the new year! xxoo Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness, Dudley is so cuuuuuute! That's a great photo! Merry Christmas to you all!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great photo of Dudley in his Santa hat! Re the discolouring on white dog fur - my breeder swears by 1/2 tsp of buttermilk powder in one of their meals of the day. I sprinkle it on and wet it down with about 1 Tbsp of plain yogurt. Tessa loves it and has very little discolouration under her eyes.
ReplyDeleteMy girls and I just love the photo of handsome Dudley in his Santa Hat, but we loved even more the story of him grabbing that little piece of wood from the garage and taking it for his own. I hope you, Len and Dudley all have a wonderful Christmas and stay well. My brother in law just recently got the new vaccine, as he is a doctor in Texas, and we're all hoping this is the start of a safer and more normal life in the new year.
ReplyDeleteHe just gets more adorable! Love your stories, thanks for everything you do. Did he give you a staff bonus? That really made me chuckle, so true :) xxx
ReplyDeleteAww, Dudley is simply adorable! Hope your Chrisrmas was fabulous.
ReplyDeleteDudley is so cue as Santa. Our Tom does not want to wear hats.....

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! Hope your day was fabulous! Gorgeous pic of Dudley! xxxxx
ReplyDeleteCute, hope you had a good day and didn't find splinters in your bed, lol. x
ReplyDeleteHope you all had a fabulous Christmas. Dudley is such a cute Santa Claws. Take care. Hugz
ReplyDeleteHahaha I'd say he doesn't look too impressed ;) Hope Santa brought him lots of new toys for being a good boy!
ReplyDeleteHope your Christmas was Merry & Bright, it sure seems that Dudley tried HIS best to give you one! Love dogs and their humor is quite amazing, enjoy him as I've lost mine this year and it is quite sad without her
ReplyDeleteLovely photo of Dudley! I hope you have enjoyed a good Christmas Di.

Hi Miss Di, Dudley looks the part with his Santa hat and beard on, not a chance of getting one small enough to get on a budgie, let alone them keeping it on... one is training well and the other, is not... Have a wonderful week.... Megan
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to al f you and I think Dudley is behaving perfectly in his darling little Santa hat! :-D
ReplyDeleteI remember when Toby would get a lot of discoloration around his eyes and mouth during certain times, and we never quite figured out why. Right now, he's snowy white, except after eating canned food, when he's pretty much a mess. However, Dudley looks adorable in his Santa hat, wet beard or not! Dudley is so full of life and fun, and I love hearing of his adventures (and misadventures). You are all lucky to have each other...Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a Merry Christmas and thanks so much for the sweet picture of Dudley. We lost one of our cats this week which made for a bittersweet Christmas. I love to see people's pets.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful Christmas. Dudley is so very cute!

ReplyDeleteJust look at your adorable boy! I know what you mean about the lurking smile - I sometimes think our dogs just humour us! Wags from Eva! Vicky xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun photo of your mischievous little Dudley!! He allllllllllmost had that piece of wood in your bed before you ruined his prank. Ha. Our pets are such bright spots in our lives.
