Hello everyone
This is Arthur and I’m finally feeling brave enough to say hello especially as it was my lucky day yesterday (before the big bangs, anyway). I know it’s taken me a while to sign on to the help a 4-leg forum but I lost my roo roo bark somehow. I don’t actually know where it went but I don’t care coz now it’s back
. My tail must have gone with it coz I didn’t see it for ages and longlong times but yesterday afternoon I found that too, and I chased it a bit to say welcome-glad-you’re-back. ;D
I think my luck changed when FM took me to see a bigtallman early morning yesterday. Uncle Ed came too and he said we’d double-lean while we were there and he wasn’t teasing me this time. It was nice to have him as I was a bit nervous but we double-leaned like mad and it made me feel like Uncle Ed really cares for me.
As soon as I met Bigtallman I didn’t need to lean on Uncle Ed anymore. Even though he ear-tickled Uncle Ed first I certain surely knew my tickle would come (I wondered if FM would have a tickle too – I had a feeling she’d like one
). I don’t know why he called Ed a different name – gorgeous big guy, I think – but maybe he uses words I’m not old enough to understand yet.
Anyway, my tickle came and it was soooo nice…made me wiggle a bit and I felt all soppy
Bigtallman called me a different name too – cutie pie, I think. I see there are lots of words I don’t know yet!
Anyway FM picked me up and laid me on a tall cold sofa with no arms or back. Maybe it wasn’t a sofa? But I didn’t worry or make a fuss as FM does this to me every morning when she rubs my tummy and lifts my back leg up.
And what do you know, Bigtallman also lifted my back leg up! I don’t know what he did next as I was too busy listening to FM call me names that I DO know – sweetheart, brave boy, poppet, my baby…
.I love those names and I had to try not to get wiggly again as I was a bit unsure about the funny sofa!
Then Bigtallman scratched my neck very quickly and FM put me back on the floor next to Ed for a double lean. Bigtallman must also like double things as he sat next to us on the floor and double
-cuddled us. FM bent down too and it’s funny but I think she had undone a shirt button
. Don’t know why. Luckily for FM, Bigtallman didn’t notice as he only has eyes for us 4 legs
.
The bestest part of the visit came next when Bigtallman told FM I could run around and have fun as I was completely heeled. I didn’t really understand the heel thing as I always thought that was something to do with walking goodboy style not running loony-lurcher style
.
Anyway, who cares as my luck got even better when FM took me and Ed home to get the Oldies (teehee – I never call them that if they’re near as they tell me I’m imperti….impetin….rude). Then we went back to the big-green-and-trees and I ran ran ran ;D
Then I suddenly found my roo roo bark and so I finally looked and sounded like a proper fit and healthy dog! I loved my roo roo bark so I did it a lot until I really had to work at the sniff and pees – I don’t think many dogs can do roo-sniff-roo-pee-roo all together (even though Old King Henry says he used to before he lost his figure). FM seemed very happy each time she whistled and we all came back (some faster than others, I must say) and she got a bit wet-eyed (yet again) as we walked home
FM tells me that lots and lots of 2 legs have been sending me lovey-cuddleys so I just wanted to tell you all about my really lots of fun lucky day
Love from Little King Arthur xxx
Arthur hasnt realised his lead is off
Come on Arthur, wake up and smell the roses!
Arthur realises and trots off. Not too far my poppet!!
Farther and farther he trots....deep breaths, dont panic...he'll be a good boy...don't worry FM
Arthur finds his roo roo bark and Ed helps him celebrate - a little too enthusiastically for Arthur!
Time for a pack search-and-sniff
Sniff means use your nose Arthur, not your tongue
Stop staring at me FM, you know you can trust me to follow my Uncles...
Such excitement can be exhausting!
