Gary and Mr Spikey Ice Cream Man

We've got company this weekend.. in fact we have company until next Wednesday... tomorrow Hubby's nephew and wife are coming until Sunday morning, then Hubby's friend and wife and kids are coming for a Sunday cookout... then work friend from Jacksonville Monday evening and then work friend and family Tuesday... by Wednesday I will be officially cooked out..

The house has had a good clean today and last on my list was to do the dog blankets.. plural, cause he has two.. one in his day bed and one in his night bed...I know spoilt, right!?

Anyway, Gary loves clean blankets.. I think its the :Lavender drier sheets I use, and as soon as I put his day one (he's has this one since he was a puppy hence the few bite marks!) he was on his bed on his back snuggling down into it... I couldn't resist taking a couple of pics of his contentment...

Of course me taking pics and my fame whore of a dog was up carolling his toys for me to play with him.. would it be a tennis ball, of which he has eight by the way... 4 originally and then one day I came home from tennis and forgot to put my tube of balls away, somehow the top was removed and there were 4 more balls in the lounge.. wonder who that could have been...



He has 8 tennis balls

 But tonight he was in the mood for Spikey Ice Cream Man... who squeeks alot!... he's had 3 of these toys.. they normally last about a year, they only cost $3.99 and he absolutely loves them... they are definitely his favourite. I think because it squeeks differently ever time..
Anyway I played a little with him, cause we couldn't walk today becuase of the bad weather and now he is demolishing a dental chew thing that costs far too much from the vet... I love him, he is MY boy and I woudn't swap him for anything...

Spikey Ice Cream Man!

 

Only a clap of thunder disturbs him



Then it back to the task of squeeking

I think its love

Does your dog have a favourite toy... or is it you?..

And to my friend Anne... I know you don't give George toys.. ever wondered why he is such a git.. its because he reads my blog when you're not looking at sees Gary treated like Royalty!

My first post....

Ok..new to blogging that I am, this maybe short and sweet...or it might ramble on for ages..you never know!

My friend Anne runs a blog for her furniture business, http://baumhausltd.blogspot.com/ and I've found myself inexplicably drawn to it everyday to find out the latest goings on in a furniture wholesale business...sounds boring!! ..not really, she blogs on her life, holidays, her weekends and her dog George (yes his name is George!...naughty George to be exact).

She has been trying to convince me to to start blogging for ages, so today, in a moment of boredom, I thought...why not!

What shall I blog on...everything and anything .. her idea was for my dog, Gary, to have his own blog, but there is only so much a Jack Russell can say for himself...to illustrate he is fast asleep on the bed at the moment..it truely is a dog's life!

So Gary will be part of the blog, but so will anything else I care to think about. I love to cook so I thought I'd post recipes here, and critic latest restaurants etc etc...I'm just going to talk about life really...it will be a way for my friends around the world to keep up with me and me with them!

For those who don't know me personally I'm of English descent, but live in Florida now with my husband and of course Gary..It was a big change upping sticks and moving here, but I love the sun, so it's mostly been all good! Also it seems that mention to anyone that you live in Florida and they have bought the plane tickets and are arriving next Thursday...so it has it's benefits!

Well enough for now...I was just practicing...let see if I can't get this think posted to the web now...probably more tomorrow!!!
