Minor change to the site with a change to the datestamp that goes alongside each post. Might look minor but took hours. The inspiration for this came from a local police most-wanted list!

We've added an extra chart showing Louis' weight against how many weeks old; makes it easier to read and compare.

Some interesting Linnaean dog terminology.

Time Flies

We took a few photos of Louis this weekend in one of his usual poses – on the sofa keeping an eye on things.

After downloading them onto the PC we realised that we had a few more similar photos from over the years.

We then dug out the older ones and put them side by side so you can see that, whilst his behaviour hasn’t changed, he certainly has. He’s got a few more silver hairs now….

Louis over the years.

He’s still a good looking hound!

Crossing The Equator

I had to make a business trip to South Africa right after the Christmas holidays. It was a bit of a shock to go from minus temperatures to 35oC but I can’t complain.

We stayed at a casino hear Jo’burg. This was the view from my room at night:-

I was only away for a week but it was great to get back home. Louis’ tail was like a helicopter’s tail rotor when I got through the front door and he followed me around for the next few days to make sure I didn’t escape from him again.

Aussie Art

We’re not going to get our annual piccie of Sid drinking Guinness whilst his family is on their annual Xmas holiday excursion to Adelaide. The reason for this is that Sid, Sue and Amaya are over here for Christmas. They bought Louis a present, a great tug toy. Amaya then did a drawing of Louis playing with his toy; here it is:-

It’s accurate; Louis has been helping with Christmas leftovers and, like all of us, has put a few pounds on.

Merry Christmas

Louis is definitely getting softer. (He’s 7 in two days time.) Getting him to sit whilst sticking a hat on him used to be nigh on impossible. The last blog involved bribery but this morning he was more than happy to wear his Santa hat. Maybe he’s sussed out today is a special day for his bipeds so he’s playing the long game.

Post edit – we’ve had our delicious Xmas dinner which Louis was very helpful with. He got three lots of leftovers followed by a brisk walk around the block. As soon as we got home he deposited his Kong toy at my feet with his “Fill this now, my biped!” look. It might be a special day for us but for Louis it’s business as usual.
