My Human Nephew, Part 2

Liz showed me how to scan pictures, so I can put them on my blog.
For starters, here are two of my human nephew, Tigh Scott Hall.

Human puppies look funny to me, at least this one does. First, he has no fur. Second, I can't see a tail. Is that strange, or what?

I wonder if he's lonely, since he's the only one in his litter.

How well do you know your dog? (Part 2)

Cover via Amazon

My human mum used to think she knew me well. If I wagged my tail, she figured I was happy. When I twitched my ears, she believed I was paying close attention. If I tried to climb up on her lap (and, remember, I weigh 52 pounds), she thought I was pretending to be a lap dog.

Then she read Inside of a Dog by Alexandra Horowitz. It was like a whole new world opened to her -- my world. Now she's watching me closely, trying to figure out the real me.

But, I'm still a mystery to her, just like she's a mystery to me.

HUMAN PUPPY (PART 2)

A correction from my last post:

Tigh is my nephew, not my cousin.  I guess that makes sense, since I'm older than he is. Does it? 
I won't know for sure until I get a good whiff of him.

A New Human Puppy

Big news!  My human brother, Peter, and his wife, Christine, had a human puppy this morning!  His name is Tigh Scott Hall, and he weighs a little more than five pounds. I thought it was odd they had only one puppy. But, then, humans are so strange, nothing surprises me. 

Anyway, if Peter is my human brother, I guess that makes Tigh my human cousin. Come to think of it, I've never had a human cousin.

I can hardly wait to meet him. I hope he'll want to play "sniff the tail" or "bite the ear."

I tried to upload a picture of Tigh (from Christine's FB page), but I couldn't figure out how to do it.

MY HUMAN MUMMY (PART 3)

My human mum is sick.

How do I know?  First, off I can tell by the way she moves (not quickly like she usually does). I can tell by the way she smells. This morning, for example, she smelled of cough medicine, herbal tea and antibiotics. Last night, I caught a whiff of lemon, brandy, honey and cinnamon. Mom told me it was a "hot toddy," a British "cure" that Dad whipped up for her.

To her credit, she took me for a walk yesterday afternoon. But she was coughing so much, she forgot to give me any treats.

I hope she gets better soon. I want my healthy mum back.
