Happier Days In The the Garden

Hello all,

Well, I am still all itchy, so it looks like I too may be heading to the v.e.t.s. Ma and pa think I must be allergic to something, but we're all struggling to work out what. I am therefore still a conehead. Bother.

Cassidy is being a very good girl with her bed rest. Truth be told, all she wants to do at the moment is chew anyway, so she's happy in there with a supply of hollow bones, Kongs and Nylabones. She goes back to the v.e.t. on Friday.

I found these photos and video on the computer. They were taken a week or two ago on a rain free day (a rarity here at the mo).

The photos are rather blurred due to a certain little lady zooming about like a woman possessed!


Mind you, I am pretty nifty on my feet for an old timer if I do say so myself. Life in the old dog yet, eh?


Cassidy was just begging to be chased.

She was doing laps of the garden trying to get me to hurry up with garden border patrol and have some puppy playtime!


I think this photo pretty much sums it up.


Well, what's a gent to do but submit to the lady's wishes. Oh and by the way, all the scary gremlin noises are my sweet darling little sister, not me! It may sound bad, but as you may have seen on Maggie and Mitch's blog the other day, that's how us Airedales like to play! Ma and pa keep an eye that all is fair.



Toodle pip,

Harry x

You two are having A LOT of fun together on that clip, and Cassidy doesn't look that old!
I hope you get that itch problem sorted soon, Harry, and that Cassidy's leg heals really quickly!
Love

We like to play chase too. Of course Louie isn't quite as big as I am yet and I always win. He did roll me over the other day which surprised me and Mom...

We hope you stop itching soon and don't have to be a cone head. We liked the clip of you and cassidy. The neighbors thing Flash and I are trying to kill each other when we play but it's just what we do.

Katherine and Pippa said...

You are sooo patient Harry.

I don't know what I would do with a young pup like Cassidy.

My goodness - you guys have FUN! You look quite spry for a mature gentleman like yourself, Master Harry! But it's not really fair that Cassidy can run under that trampoline and hide under there...!

Lorenza said...

Hi, Harry and Cassidy!
I love the way you two have fun together! I got tired just watching the video!
I hope you two are feeling better now!
Have a good night

Gus said...

Wow..big dog zoomies....

We hope you find out what is making you itch, and that Cassidy heals, so that you can come over for the bowl game. The warm dry air will do both of you good, I think

hehehe, that is Dad's name (not w.f.t., though)

Huskee and Hershey said...

Hi Harry,
Gosh.. we are on the same boat! I have also been itchy and been subjected to the cone-head treatment. Sigh... Can't a pup scratch in peace?

Noah the Airedale said...

Blimey Harry, how old did you say you were.......You've got it all over Cassidy matie. I think I'll be getting some tips off you on how to handle little sisters.

Simba and Jazzi said...

Looks like fun. If you keep that up they'll be no grass left and then you can roll in the mud. Happy days.

Sorry about your itchies, Harry. I've been pretty itchy too...Mom thinks is something in the air. You sound just like Penny & I when we play. People think we're trying to kill each other!!

Feel better soon.

Joe Stains said...

Holy cow does Cassidy EVER stop moving?! She is always flipping and flopping and rolling around!! That was a good move she had running under the trampoline. You have your work cut out for you Harry!

Snowball said...

Harry, you are so gentle with Cassidy. She is lucky to have you around to learn how to be a ideal lady when she grow up. You are such a great brother.

Luv,
Snowball

Jackson's J1 and J2 said...

Poor Harry, you certainly have your work cut out with Cassidy! Does she ever stand still? Hope you get your itchiness sorted out. J x

Stanley said...

Hey, Harry!

You two play just like Stella & I play! It sounds like you're going to tear each other up, but you're actually hardly touching each other.

I LOVED the video, and my girl watched it a second time to recap all of the twists and twirls you guys were doing! I'm sure it will be like that again soon at your house.

Goober love & smooches to you both,
Stanley

Stella said...

Hey, Cassie Girl & Big Harry!

You all are having yourselves a bitey face and wrasslin' fest! Cassie Girl, you're a rolling twisty sweetpup and Big Harry is making himself dizzy going in circles trying to keep his big booty between his face and your teefs.

You two take care of each other and get better soon!

Goobery love & kissies,
Stella

I luvd the fotoze, it all looks like fun!

Sorry yor still itchy. I heer yu doggys like fir cones- if yu've got wun, it wud probly be a good scratcher!

Otherwise remind yor carers that it is part ov yor contrakt that for evry snuggol they hav to reward yu wiv 4 good scratches. Eevn mor at the mo, cos they've stuk that collar on yu so yu carnt get to just-the-rite-spot yorself.

oh I loved the video, I play with the puppies around here just like that. Sometimes their owners don't like it but Jeannie says it is just us dogs learning to play and teaching the little 'uns!

Hope your itchys are better now.

I am late commenting, sorry!

Molly and Gertrude said...

Cassidy - you are the rolly-polliest little girl ever!! You must have rolled over 1000 times in that video clip! It was very funny.

Just wait until you are bigger.....

And Harry - you are very sprightly for a Dale of more advanced years!

Love Molly and Gertrude
