The great sweet robberry 2011

This post is from a recollective viewpoint of a story told by my mother this past day. Anyway for some reason I still don’t actually know my mum carries sweets or candy as the Americans put it in her bag. Seems average enough right. Most people would see this as anything but simple. Snoopy did though. She managed to somehow open my mums bag reach inside a pull the sweets out. This shows you snoopy is not an average dog. I mean most would have just eaten them. For once though snoopy chose not to eat preferring to run around the living room and be chased whilst holding the packet of sweets in her mouth. Anyway theirs drilling next door and snoop can gear it too. I’ll tell you about it sometime.

It’s been a quite front from Snoopy. Nothing really to write about really. The first thing of not she’s done for a few weeks. Has been a hurdling attempt over my mums legs onto the couch. Watching her soar through the air really was a site to see. Snoopy is far from a little dog as I’m sure many of you will already know. If you don’t you can check up on my previous posts were images are attached. The final view snoopy left was her sat in the settee a troll face is what she was trying to pull I’m sure of it. Well attached is an in depth analysis of what happened.

Chorus at the window

As many people who’ve read this know my dog, Snoopy has a hatred of all things that create loud noises. From drills to saws and even a moped. If you didn’t know try using any heavy machinery at my house you’ll soon find out. The agitation it causes is unreal. From the constant pacing around the house to jumping onto the windowsill. Then the worst of all, the reasoning for this title even. The constant moans and whimpers she creates. It’s non-stop. A high pitched moan from an overly energetic dog really can draw upon anybodies patience. The odd thing is as soon as the noise stops so does she. It’s a true Jekyll and Hyde affect without the potions.

Bike chase

Today is the final memory recap of a walk in the park two days ago. I’m sure many people will have competed this walk hundreds if not even thousands of times had no odd occurrences. I was with Snoopy so something was bound to happen. Anyway Snoop was running around off her lead as she had many times before, something was different this time though. There was a rumbling coming from some were, quite were I wasn’t sure but Snoop heard it too. Then around the corner rode a boy must have been about 19. Why ride on a park I’ll never know. I think he’ll regret it after going to race along the past only to be met with Snoop growling at him almost challenging the bike. He tried to ride away and eventually did but the look on his face when Snoopy kept up with him for a few seconds was priceless.

The only puddle in the park…

Please note this is a recap of the sun soaked day of yesterday so don’t take the current weather into consideration. Anyway I’m sure common readers will know this is mainly written in regards to my dog, Snoopy. The dog who somehow possible by a sign from god managed to find a hidden puddle of water. Well if she had only found it then that wouldn’t have been as bad but she found it, proceeded to drink from it, taking up monstrous slurps of water. I actually struggle to comprehend how she ingests half the stuff she does. She’s practically superhuman, well superdogian I suppose. Not only does she proceed to drink she also decides to roll in this shallow in the water. It was a warm day I can understand why. Until she ran past me span around and rubbed her coat on my trousers. All I can really say is thanks Snoop for using me as a towel.

Walking with snoopysaurs

April 22, 2011 3 comments

Today was a rarity the weather is good. The sun was out and Snoopy needed a walk. So I took her to longley park. It’s a great place if you live in the Shiregreen area I highly recommend it. Anyway firstly Snoopy is charging around the park and finds a stick bigger then her. The site was odd to be fair, even better when she tried to run.

Well I’m going to start closing this out with a memo. If your ever walking or jogging on Longley park and see a large black dog charging towards you. Check back to this blog and see that appearances can be deceptive and she’s more likely to do harm to herself with her docile nature then you.

Please sir could I have some more.

Well today me I decided to have one of those pasta cheese bakes things. I wouldn’t recommend it, the taste was awful. As most of these microwave meals are. However one person will most certainly disagree the star of the blog herself. Snoopy ! This dog has appetite not only did she eat the meal within a minute or so. I’m not even sure she chewed the pasta, saying that I struggled doing that too. She then proceeded to push the tray along the kitchen floor ensuring she got every last drop of pasta sauce and ham. She then proceed to lift the container in her mouth and race around the lower floor of the house and the chase was on. After running into the kitchen to the living room and back again she settled on hiding underneath the computer desk. She’s hasn’t quite established a full knowledge of espionage yet.

Theres more here I can see it.

The calm before the storm…

I’m worried about my dog snoopy today. She’s been acting really strangely today. She’s been acting well …. normal. There’s been no chorus of attention seeking squeaks. No charging around the room. Nothing of her usual characteristics which I’m sure if you’ve read my previous posts you’ll be aware of. This is kind of odd. I guess she’s like the rest of us sometimes she just needs a day to relax and enjoy herself, or maybe I’m offering her too much personification. I guess I’ll never know for sure. Either that or she’s plotting her next action. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Plotting or chilling

Silent night

After what’s been a very dull day sleep still doesn’t seem a good idea. Snoopy doesn’t agree either she’s been very troublesome this evening and I don’t have any idea why. Luckily as of writing this she seems to have settled down. Sadly she thought it would be a good idea earlier in the night to go upstairs and pay a visit to my mum. I didn’t know at first what had happened until I heard my mums voice bellowing down the stairs. As soon as I got to the top of the stairs Snoopy stood there her brown eyes glistening she knew that she had done wrong, yet also knew no serious punishment was coming her way. Currently she’s hiding away behind an arm chair with her ears pricked up. I think her ears are starting to burn and she knows I’m typing about her.
