Episode 33 – 🐶Chin and Tonic!😴💤

 

Resting my chin in my bed

Being a dog of a certain class and status, I need my luxuries. When it is time for a nap or afternoon siesta, I like to make myself really comfortable. One of the most relaxing things for me to do is find a spot to rest my chin on. After a long play with my best toy, Long Dog, there is nothing better than to find a cosy spot on the carpet and rest my chin on the softest part of Long Dog itself and then take a quick nap to recharge my batteries.

Me and Long Dog!

Mum and Dad bought me a nice soft bed to sleep in (as if they think I am not going to make my way onto their bed!), but this did provide a really comfortable chin rest for the odd siesta and a great hiding place for biscuits and other contraband – a story for another day! I loved going for walks with my family, the seaside was a particular favourite. However, all that fresh salty sea air made me very tired and invariably on the return journey I always snuggled into Mum and used her as a nice chin rest for the drive home.

Resting whilst cuddling up to Mum

Back home on a night, Mum didn’t really want me on the bed with her and Dad but I had different views on the matter. Whilst they slept I used to sneak up into the bedroom and jump onto the bed – quite impressive for a small dog like me and snuggle into Dad. I liked cuddling up to Dad as he was soft and would always let me. Sometimes I drifted too far over to Mum’s side of the bed and would be told off and made to move – Humph! Whilst on their bed, Dad’s are provided to be a very nice size to rest a weary fury chin on.

Bedtime with Dad

Dad loved to play piano, but this meant that his focus was no longer on me. I wasn’t having any of that and a conveniently placed chin soon brought him round to my way of thinking and before you know it, we were playing fetch – a far better pursuit that any musical instrument.

Dad is certainly not going to be playing piano anytime soon!

In the interests of fairness and equality, I didn’t just use Dad’s stuff as chin rests. H had a cuddly Elmo toy, and this was just the right size for a intelligent, good looking, smart Shih Tzu to rest their tired chin!

Anyway, off for my siesta and to find a nice spot to rest my chin.

In the beginning

Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. I am Mazie, I am a white and gold Shih Tzu dog, weigh 7kg and lived with my family for 16 years and 11 months (that's me in the picture). When I moved on to the other side of the rainbow bridge my dad wanted to tell my story but was too upset. So I decided to tell it for him. This is my story. I was born in the north of England in a small industrial town and had a number of brothers and sisters. When my new family first came to see me most of my brothers and sisters had already moved in with their new families. My brother, white and chocolate brown and sister, exactly the same colour as me, were the only pups left. I remember my new family coming to visit. My new mum took a like to my sister who immediately sat on her knee and gave her a huge cuddle. Me on the other hand thought that was boring and I wanted to play in the garden with my brother. I used to love winding him up, which sister doesn’t like winding their brother up! By sneaking up...

Episode 15 – 🥽Anyone for a swim!💦

Me chilling in the summer sun I love the summer: Long, hot days (not too hot as my fur coat keeps me rather warm) long plays in the garden, trips to the beach, rides in the car and generally having great fun with my family. During these summer days I would play in the garden with Dad, RJ and now H as he is a little older. My favourite games are playing with long dog although he does get covered in grass after playing outside, and small squidgy balls (just the right size to fit in my mouth). Dad did try me with a tennis ball as I saw a lot of other dogs playing with these on the beach. There was a device that this ball fixed into and then this was flicked in a fast semi-circular motion which launched the tennis ball for what seemed to be miles. The other larger dogs on the beach loved this. Unfortunately for my delicately small mouth, the tennis ball was far too big for me and so this toy was a non-starter. One of my best games was playing with small stones: they were just the right siz...

Episode 4 – Life’s a Beach

Image
Mum and dad took me to the beach today. This was the first time I have seen the sea. The spot we went to was about 30 minutes’ drive from our house. Mum tells me that this was the favourite place for Millie and so I’m so excited to see this as if Millie likes this place, it must be good. We parked the car and walked along a sea front promenade for a while and then dad took me down a set on concrete stairs onto the beach. Wow I love it! The feeling of the sand in my paws was tickly but nice and the side of the beach nearest to the walkway was full of stones and pebbles – my favourite toys. Dad kept me on the extended lead for a while as there were other dogs the beach then we found a location where we had the beach to ourselves, and he let me off the lead. I ran and ran and ran….and ran some more. Dad chased me and I chased dad, he threw pebbles for me to fetch and it was the first of what became many special moments on that beach. After a while dad walked towards the sea and I followed...
