I wonder if I’ll be seeing you all at the annual DAWGdogs Fun Day Dog Show on Sunday?
I hope so although I suspect that Helen will no doubt find many excuses have many good reasons not to take me.
The primary reason I suppose, is that I’d win all of the events and the other dogs would get jealous. Quite obviously I’d be the best at everything as I’m Top Dog.
Ahh! I can picture it now, bowing humbly on the podium whilst being showered with applause, rosettes, bonios and wolf-ette whistles from the adoring crowd, my broad shoulders hung with dozens of multi-coloured ribbons bearing such noble honours as:
The Best Dog Ever !
The Dog With The Most Bonios Ever !
The Most Handsome Dog Ever !
The Most Modest Dog Ever !
The Dog Who Barks The Loudest !
The Dog With The Cleanest Ears 2011 !
The Dog Who Looks Most Like Himself !
The Dog Who You Have Least Likelihood Of Getting To Wear Fancy Dress Without Sustaining A Nasty Bite !
The Dog Who Stole The Most Cakes From The Cake Stall 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 !
The Dog Who Has Just Caused The Most Destruction To The Agility Ring !
The Most Dastardly Dog Ever !
The Only Dog So Unhomeable That Helen Was Forced To Keep Him Herself !
The Dog Who Has Started The Most Fights !
The Dog Who Has Snaffled The Most Lunches That Didn’t Belong to Him!
The Dog Who Has To Wait Longest For His Dinner !
The Dog Who Has To Do The Most Chores !
Oh Dear Chores… that’s a point – if Helen does take me along I’ll probably be expected to work in my Security role, with my DAWGdog Security Hi-Viz vest on. Manning Dogging the gate, overseeing the parking, admitting my banned mates for a Bonio under the paw when the coast is clear, turning away riff-raff, biting anyone I don’t like the look of, that sort of thing.
Hmmm, I don’t fancy having to work all day, especially as it is on my Bin Day and I’ll have get up very early. Keep Sunday Special!
Spike will be going no doubt.
Spike always goes because he fawns a lot he is always very nice to all the other dogs and everyone who meets him and makes a fuss of them.
Smeagol Jackson will also no doubt be going so that people can see that he is far more friendly in the flesh than his photos would have you believe.
He might even meet someone who falls in love with him and offers him a home.
Actually Helen might ‘accidentally’ leave him behind for that very reason…..
Maybe we could set up a petition to make sure I can come along?
I bet if Mark was coming I’d be allowed to come to keep an eye on him and stop him getting into trouble whilst Helen was busy meeting people and dogs and judging events and handing out prizes and buying up all the cakes from the cake stall before anyone else gets there so that she can eat all of them herself again like she did last year.
Then again ….
if I’m left alone at the Rescue there will be lots to do…
My dinners and treats to scoff guard…!
The other dogs’ dinners and treats to scoff guard…!!
Helen’s dinners and treats to scoff guard…!!!
A blissful few hours of peace and quiet in
my big comfy bed without Spike and Jackson constantly hogging it…!
or actually even better …!!
A blissful few hours of peace and quiet in
Helen’s comfy bed whilst she’s guaranteed not to be able to catch me at it!!!
I’m rather looking forward to it all again now!
Well Mutley, after all my years of devotion to you how could you reveal that I buy up all the fairy cakes and live on them for the next few days! Oops! … no… I mean that I eat nutritious meals and then have them for my pudding…
I can’t wait to be there Mutley :-) And to see all the doggies ahhhhhhhhhhh. But hey big fella, you’re still top dog and what a charmer you are! I will be guarding my sandwiches very closely…they’re mine! I will have to fight Helen for the cakes though! See you all there and looking forward to having Gypsy for the day..love you all xx
How am I going to maintain my unbroken record of The Dog Who Stole The Most Cakes From The Cake Stall with Helen and Natalie scoffing them all before I can steal them?!!!
dear mutley cant wait to see you at dawg Dogs fun show,check pockets for bonios…theres bound to be a few!
I have just been given a huge list of chores to do at the Rescue to be done by the time Helen gets back from the Dog Show, else I’ve got to get them all done before I have my dinner!!
No chance of a comfy snooze for me!
I haven’t even got peace and quiet as you just wait and see what excuse Helen has come up with as to why
SmeagolJackson “can’t go”So I’ve got to put up with my face being covered in his slobber every five minutes just because Helen is scared someone will offer him a home if they see him!
*mutter mutter mutter*
Keep Mutley’s Sundays Special
*chunter chunter chunter*
Why don’t I get a Fun Day?
*grumble grumble grumble*
dear Mutley,the show was great fun,thanks to your abscence i was able to take home a couple of rossettes and a goody bag (ta very much)so ive kept the bonio that was in the bag for you as a small thankyou.ps.can you ask Helen for a class for the dog with the most bits missing next year..ime sure to get a first then xnite nite a very tired but happy bella x
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Mutley, Vicki didnt take me and Mr Big to the DAWG day either. I think they know we will spoil their fun by getting all the attention for ourselves.
I have looked at the pictures and must admit it did look like it was fun, but me and Mr Big dont care because we got to stay on guard for robbers at home. Then we got a cow hoof each for doing such a good job in keeping the robbers away.
Phew! Its a tough job, but Mr Big has got to do it!
Lick ya soon my darling xxxxx
Poor poor Mutley….Missed you at the show:( But hopefully will see you and the clan this week for walkies and treats…slobber slobber yum yum. And hey there Mr Big, your mum was busy cuddling all the pups at the show!! tut tut. And I got to have cute Sam all day who gladly covered my trousers with mud and yet more mud!! He even took a leaf out of your book Mutley and had his beady eye on my cheese and onion roll..tut tut. But ahhhh I gave him a little taster. A big softy I am. I have to say though that little Bella was the prettiest there..and soooooo cute in her woolly jumper ahhhh. bet she melted a few hearts :) See you soon big fella. Hugs.xx
Dear Mutley, I wasn’t allowed at the show either and I was Dawg Dog of the year 2010, the very cheek of it!! Apparently I disgraced myself at the top of Mount Snowden when I ate Mums friend’s chicken sandwich! Well it was fair game as it was in a lovely tupperware dish sitting nicely on a rock and I’m sure it had my name on it! Well my mum thought I might do the same again at the show, as if I would, so foster brother Sam went instead on the pretence he was looking for a home and somebody there might fall for him, yeah right!!
My Dearest Mutley, After living with you for the last 10 years I knew you were the one to rely on to finish the household chores HaHa So don’t be offended that you were left behind. It had nothing to do with the fact that you would of smashed and grabbed the cakes and I wouldn’t have had chance to sample the delicious pink, Tim Burton’s Mad Hatter style ones ( Viki took a photo of them for you if that helps), rooted through the DAWGdogs stall for squeaky toys to kill and become obsessed over,crashed your way through the fun agility ring therefore meaning that no-one else could have a go after you had wrecked it or rampaged your way around the rings demanding first prize in all the classes. It was just that you had skived off your chores earlier in the week and I am afraid that this is what happens when you do… You miss out on all the fun. I still love you don’t think that I don’t.
Yes Mutley, The same pink cakes that you tried to grab out of my bag when I came home.
Helen, pink cakes notwithstanding, you forgot to tell All The Viewers At Home about why
SmeagolJackson didn’t attend!A lot of people were looking forward to meeting him and one or two might even have offered him a home!!
I’ll have to tell them instead….
A surprisingly short time after Yours Truly hinted to the world that We Bet Our Last Bonio Helen would come up with some excuse not to take
SmeagolJackson to the Fun Day, he was fed lots of chews.As typical for a youngster he gobbled them down too quickly and coughed.
Helen proclaimed this to be Kennel Cough and so Smeagol had to stay behind to avoid spreading it at the Show!
What a load of *cough*
bollocks!*cough*s!Miraculously, by the time Mark enquired about ‘poor’ Smeagol later he ” was completely over it now ”
I must have healed him myself, amongst all the other chores I had to do on my day off…
Quite Remarkable!
Hi Pat, Mutley says thank you for saving him a Bonio and he will look forward to seeing delivery of it this week. I will make you a cup of tea if you deliver it yourself. I hope that Bella doesn’t have too many missing bits !! Alarm bells are sounding….. I hope all your windows are closed ?
its all beginning to smell a bit fishy,this Jackson marlarky,think Mutley should open a book on it,could keep him in bonios for life
Had a lovely walk with Gypsy this afternoon. She is such a special girl..very affectionate and loves it when you talk to her whilst out on the walk. I have to be honest….we sat on the park bench with her on my lap….oh how she loves a cuddle and treats! Will miss her alot when she finds her new forever home. And the Mutley crew enjoyed their walks too…and of course my tasty treats :-) I love walking them all and miss them when I can’t :-( Love you all.xx
Never mind the pink cakes Mutley….you had plenty of tasty treats from me today…you only have to flash those big brown eyes and I cave in :) Love ya
Oh and I bet Helen never offered you any of the apple cake eh? She’s hidden it somewhere and keeping it for herself tut tut…shame on you Helen!x
Will see you next week Mutley and the gang. Will come prepared as usual with treats in hand.xx
what time does the kettle go on on frid mutley
*ears shoot up*
APPLE CAKE?!!!!!
I LOVE apple cake!!
No, no mention of that was made at all!!
I’ll have to try and sniff it out when she’s not looking!
Or…
*adopts a more cunning look*
I could wait until you’re next here, remind you of it and then do my Big Brown Eyes Flashing pose to enlist you to help me badger Helen enough that we both get cake!
Helen and her cakes are not easily parted, but between us we could have a chance!
*starts to drool in a most unseemly manner but behaves as if completely oblivious to this fact*
I think you’ll need to put it on yourself when you get here Pat!
Helen is looking like I’m going to have to fix my own elevenses up tomorrow as well.
Can you believe that it is nearly eight o’clock and I still haven’t had my dinner yet, despite reminding Helen about it constantly for the last two and a half hours…..
=(
food parcels on its way Mutters x
Hey, Mutley man, just read your site ..cool..
thought you would like to know – tee hee – I was at the show. Yeh man it was my first time. I won first prize for best mixed breed. It was a given…… spend all my time now just chillin’ and basking in the glow of the bright red rosette. Hope to meet you there next year, you won’t miss me, I’m big, handsome and an obvious winner. Yeh, we could meet at the Bonio tent for a swift one.
