We have the latest 'picks' and the draw winner results over HERE, in the Snippets Playground, as am sure you all know by now. Go and take a peek!
Dudley is his usual crazy dog self. Len opened the door into our back garden very late the other evening, for what we hoped would be Dudley's bedtime 'call of nature' - and, whoosh, he was out like a rocket! Not one single woof - but he'd spotted a very sneaky local cat, who hides underneath the arbour waiting for prey at night. Ha, said cat certainly beat the World High Jump Record when leaping over the six foot high fence! Dudley Dog looked most bemused - he only wanted to play or make friends!
But, speaking of friends - he can and sometimes will make his feelings abundantly clear if you upset his apple-cart in any way. I have written about him previously when he pushed his head into a corner of a sofa with his back firmly turned to Len and quite plainly sulked - whilst we two almost cried (silently) with laughter at his 'Diva performance', but last week deserves another mention.
At bed time, guess who was already on his back - snoring - sprawled across right across our bed? Yup, Dudley of course - as usual. Len tried to gently move him and it was like a sleepy Tasmanian Devil sprang into life. I stood back with mouth open at one angry white ball of 'floof' before he charged off in a very vocal and grumpy strop. A little while later we peeped out of the bedroom door and there he was, lying spreadeagled on his front at the far end of the landing, Honka in his mouth, AND - very pointedly keeping his back turned to us in a real 'huff'. How can you not crack a smile or even laugh at that sight! He ignored Len totally when he tried to coax him, just 'blanked' him, and in the end we just left him to come out of his 'teenage rage' in his own time - and it worked fine, at least an hour later though, so that pup has stamina! Of course, then he came back with licks and wanted cuddles - what do you do? Don't even ask!
We finally swopped his very first Honka Duck for a new one, before it became a total health hazard. And, to coin a phrase, Dudley took to the new one 'just like a duck to water'! Snort.
Happy Days!
Aw, what trials are a teenage dog! It sounds like you have everything under control though! Very cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful stories of the teenage Dudley!! I experienced similar things myself when Tessa was younger. Like teenage humans they grow out of being stroppy! Keep the stories coming - they always put a smile on my face.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness--needed something fun before going to bed & so glad I came to your blog, Di! I'm trying to hold back the tears of laughter! That Dudley has such personality & oh that face--can't be mad at him!

Ha, ha, has! Methinks you probably should’ve let THAT sleeping dog lie!!!! Xxx
ReplyDeleteDudley is so funny and such a little character! x
ReplyDeleteLove your stories of Dudley, it reminded me of our dog, who when asked to get out of the river to go home, wouldn't, until I had gone quite a few yards, she wouldn't shake the water off herself, then sulked all the way home with her tail between her legs, (never known to otherwise) and when we got in gave the biggest shake ever, to make sure we got wet! Can't help but love them.

Hehehe, what a sweetie! Glad the kitty got away though!
ReplyDeleteDudley was obviously having a wonderful dream and didn't appreciate the wake up when Len tried to move him. That is so funny that he sulked for over an hour. What a drama queen! :) Aren't the most loveable and entering members of the family??!! xx
