Almost 2 months on..

Wooooffffffffffff Everyone…

I thought I’d better let you all know how Olga is getting on since her operation, Dad now calls her half dobbie half Morphy Richards (he then goes into fits of laughter no idea why, I don’t even know who Morphy is, the poor fella).

When she came out of Rutland after her Op, or as she tells everyone “When they tried to chop her leg off”!! they had shaved all her fur off her back leg, right up to her tummy, she did look funny, anyway when Dad use to take her out for a walk (because she wasn't allowed to run) everyone use to stop and stroke her and say “Aww look at the poor little thing” she got loads and loads of cuddles off strangers! I stood at the window and shouted ‘Stranger Danger’ but she ignored me, in fact I’m sure I saw her stick her tongue out at me one time!

Baldy Olga lol

Iron -Girls scar, she had little blue stitches 

She also got loads of treats off people for being a brave little dobbie, she was given a hide bone and she didn't even share it – she tried to hide it in her bed!!!

There’s me getting nothing for putting up with her! I mean come on I’m the special one, I can open doors and let myself in, I can woof dead loud, I keep the beach and field clear of pesky birds, I’m Dad’s alarm clock I do loads of stuff, all Olga has done is go and have a little operation and she gets all this attention, she even got Dad to carry her upstairs to bed every night, and downstairs in a morning – how lazy is that!.

I thought hang on I want a bit of this attention – I know I’ll nibble a bit of my fur off my sides so I’ll look just like Olga – to make her feel normal again – and then I’ll get all the cuddles and treats – great plan Louis boy!!! ….. except it wasn't - Mum went mad! and Dad looked at me and said “Louis mate, I’m really disappointed with you, you've not done that for months” – so my plan back fired massively, and to make things worse, Olga’s fur has grown back loads quicker than mine and I still look stupid - I hate disappointing Dad to, if you could have seen his face I felt awful.

Yup me looking silly - bald boy.

All Olga's fur has grown back now, you wouldn't know she was bald 2 months ago

Anyway, she is doing really well and is allowed to have a run about with me, of course I’m not allowed to chase her yet which is a bit boring, Dad lets her have a play for about 10 mins and then she has to go and stand next to him for a bit, then she can have another play. Dad said she has to build up to playing properly, and gosh you can tell she’s not been running for ages, because when we get home she sleeps forever!.. Olga said she now a super hero because she has a metal leg, I said ok then smarty pants what’s your super hero name then!.... she said she wants to now be called Iron-girl! Hahaha I said more like ‘metal mickey’ lol…

To try and get back into Mum’s good books I thought I’d help Dad fit the new machine in the kitchen, it’s something that cleans all the plates and pans, I said I could do that job –I’m good at  licking plates, and I’m an expert at emptying pans lol… Mum said this machine does it better than me but said she’s sure Dad would ‘love’ my help :D – Brilliant I thought I’m on my way back into Mum’s good books!- and if this doesn't work, I'll just sit in front of her until she gives in! - the only problem with that idea was I fell asleep ... oppppsss

Me helping Dad fit the plate licker

I couldn't stay awake long enough.

Once we had finished in the kitchen I decided to help Mum wrap some presents, but to be honest I don’t think I helped that much, I got the sticking tape stuck on my paws and then when I tried to shake it off, I knocked some of the baubles off the tree that Mum insisted on putting in the front room! 

Talking about the front room, Mum and Dad changed it completely, and bought a new sofa that me and Olga are not allowed on now! – what am I going to do when I want a cuddle off Dad now! Mum said we’ve got a really thick carpet to lie on and to be fair it is lovely, so when the fire is on and I’ve pushed Olga out of the way I don’t want to move, so if Dad wants a cuddle he’ll have to come to me hehehe. 

Plus the new sofa has little buttons on the arms and if I sneak up on them and lean against the buttons the sofa moves and Dad’s legs come up and he ends up lying down! I’ve had hours of fun with these. I wait for Dad or Mum to be concentrating on watching the telly and then I sneak up and lean against the button and it frightens them…. Me and Olga laugh our heads off hahahaha..

Ohh I forgot, Uncle Harry came for his dinner with us on Christmas day, and I thought he was going to bring Elvis, but he said because Olga is still getting better and she hasn’t met Elvis yet he thought it would be better if he stayed at home, plus he’d been out for a run before Uncle Harry came to ours and Elvis just wanted to stay at home in front of the fire and watch POG, I asked what POG was and Uncle Harry said it was a programme called Paul O’Grady for the love of dogs, apparently he helps dogs get their ‘forever homes’ – I said “What like Auntie Pam!”, Uncle Harry gave me a massive cuddle and said “Yes Louis – just like Auntie Pam”.. I made sure the box in the corner showed this POG thingy, and wow there were loads of dogs on there, but no Dobie’s – that’s because we are special and only Auntie Pam can find us our ‘forever homes’ …..

I love this Christmas malarky, you get loads of cuddles, and ear rubs, and best of all we get gravy on our dinners!!!

See you all soon

Love Louis and Olga aka Iron-Girl lol
