Update On Dylan (coz You Asked!)

Hi folks!

Sorry I'm not around much. Just a tad busy and preoccupied. I got a message the other day asking after Dylan so I thought I'd just pop in and give a quick update. Not that there's much to tell LOL

Dylan is growing fast and remains as cheeky and gorgeous as ever. I should spend more time training him but I'm a complete slacker. He has started digging holes a lot in the lawn which indicates he's getting bored so I"m trying to give him more time. As for the holes, I'm starting to think the best approach is to take it as a suggestion and plant something in wherever he digs them. Like a nice tree or flowers depending on where it is. Less lawn to mow - thanks Dylan!!!

He and Tango occassionally get a little snarky with each other but generally they are getting along really well. Tango has even started to learn how to play chasey without actually biting DYlan (most of the time). So Tango goes charging after Dylan snarling like he's the worlds scariest dog and then veers away at the last minute. Dylan LOVES it and eggs him on at every opportunity.

Pepper and Dylan are best mates. Poor Pepper gets bothered by him all the time to play (his idea of a subtle invitation is to charge at her and grab her round the neck). SHe is SO tolerant!!!

Dylan is also singing more and more and I keep meaning to get it recorded more often. He particularly likes to sing with my Adam Lambert CD.

So that's about it I guess. Here's some recent pics (today) walking in the pouring rain. Since Dylan joined us Tango has started hanging around with the group more on walks and he and DYlan often race off together barking at each other and having a wonderful time. I also saw Tango overcome his extreme fear of water when Pepper and Dylan were playing in a stream - Tango did the smallest steps into the teeniest shallowest bit of water and then scooted when the others came over to marvel at him being in the water. THIS IS HUGE FOR TANGO!!!

Here's a couple of pics from today. Notice how FAT Tango is. I'm thinking I might need to cut his food back now LOL hahahahaha But he is such a happy boy. I cuddle him in his bed all the time now and he wags his tail and smooches into my face and licks my hand (instead of trying to rip my face off!) - aint that nice! Pepper meanwhile has lost weight and DYlan is just a gorgeous slim muscley boy. He sure has a great doggy bod.

Thanks honbun and Harley - I probably have more stories that could be told, they just blur into one long experience of joy and fun with these guys.

And I love all my dogs but I seriously just love Dylan to pieces - I'm not sure he could be much more charming. Even with the hole digging.

Perhaps the gate needs replacing and she's just trying to help :)

You know what's worse than poo-eating. Rolling around in rotten old smelly dead things. I'm lucky only one of them does that (the other two eat it) - and that one is the charming lady-like Pepper. It beats me how she can be such a "LADY" and then go and do something like that. I had to drive all the way home with my head stuck out the window last time she did that on a walk.

GARRRGHHHH!

fantastic to hear your troupe is getting along well! and it think it is amazing how far along tango is coming, you must be chuffed to bits!

as for rolling in unmentionables. my little mini schnauzer boy enjoys rolling in dead possums etc when he can find the,. but where we go some teenage boys occasionally hang out at night and, well... my boy loves rolling in their human poop parcels they sometimes leave about. :D

eeeeuuuuwwwww! mackiemad. No really. EEEUUUWWWWWWW! ROFLMAO

A ticker for DYlan. Hmmmm well I still havent decided on a "birthday" for him yet. And I think three tickers are too many for the siggie in here. Maybe I can do 3 smaller ones.....

I have been making a video of Dylan. Uploading it as I type...

Dylan has this wierd thing where he will start singing the moment I put on anything by the singer Adam Lambert. He gets excited and goes nuts. I don't often catch him doing it but today I managed to get some of it. So I made a vid out of it, complete with Adam and a whole tv show for Dylan's duet with Adam.

Hope you like it LOL

Pepper does a sort of snarly sound from her throat. SHe's not being aggressive tho - just playing. YOu can hear it a bit in that vid if you listen carefully. It's her percussion accopaniment!

But no, not really. It's generally a solo effort.

Sometimes he just sits in his bed carrying on like that and worse for up to 10 minutes (usually I can't stand it any longer and distract him at that point) LOL

His other fave time to start singing is when I'm on the phone :)
