What did we do when there was nothing to do?

....typist has ventured back into work these last couple of weeks....he's been travelling our of the rush hour so as to avoid accidents with his foot...it's been pretty dispiriting he says....but old Marley remembered to send him a border terrier to keep him company on his journey....that is Miss Beanie...who turned out to be very friendly indeed....

.....meanwhile Miss Lola made the most of being fully-furred....she tried to hide in the lounge using her natural camouflage.....

....but it was no use and she was whisked off to the groomers for her bi-annual fur-do.....there is less drama these days when she is stripped and our nice groomer has now survived several trips from mi'lady.....

.....she looks very smart we think....

.....although it has made her a bit reluctant to go out in public....she has taken to the beanbag 24/7 trying to hide her nakedness....

....I have not been so lucky and this candid short found its was onto Twitter.....luckily my very kind friend @bordermeg took pity on me and her mum has agreed to knit me a tail....I am very much looking forward to be being able to wag it....

...but for now I am hiding my modesty and sticking to my chores......

...Miss Lola is complaining about being cold all the time and won't move from the fire....

......you can imagine how cross she was when she got back from a bathroom break the other night....

...luckily for her she can be quite persuasive when she wants to be....

.....she became quite insistent of being allowed some lap time with the typist....no matter what the cost to our tweeting empire.....

...I had to wait patiently whilst she finished with all her fussing.....

....er....no, no chocolates to see here...move along please....

.....say cheese!....typist and I thought we might join in with the #presspaws campaign with @dogstrust....this is what they say about it....‘A Dog is for Life...not just for Christmas’ We’re asking everyone who loves dogs to help us spread the idea of pausing to think, am I in a position to socialise, train and look after a dog for the rest of its life? Tweet us @dogstrust with your paw-touching photo with the #presspaws today! 

....our first attempts were not that successful as Miss Lola was intent on eating her tripe stick in the garden....

...so typist and I just had to do a few "selfies".....

....all of the photos are being posted on the Digs Trust TUMBLR....i'm on there!!

...Miss Lola was eventually persuaded to drop in for a shoot.......

....she claimed to be busy keeping typist warm on the sofa....

....or having to do some concerted sun-puddling before winter sets in.....

.....but we know she wishes all dogs to be in their forever home first time....no unwanted puppies for Christmas please.....

....I, of course, am always busy making sure typist continues to heal from his accident....a healthy diet is the foundation for well-being....

.....and in between times I maintain my enigmatic on-line presence....*listens to Editors*
