Last of the Summer Wine

Last of the summer wine 

Autumn flows into our golden times

We put our best foot forward and writes in rhymes

The countryside is mellow, it heals each day

On hills or meadows, the village clock chimes!

My dogs name is 'Khalo'  said Kay-lo ..he's a miniature Schnauzer.. yeah and a warning another thing puppies are into chewing apart from shoes, slippers and jandals etc is underwear, lol yeah my sister has a snoodle and it managed to get into the laundry basket and chewed all her underwear and even her husbands & the kids.. she stopped putting her in the laundry without lifting the basket up high after that, a expensive lesson..

The other thing with cockapoo's you have to get them clipped every 6-8weeks, as their coat matts very quickly otherwise. I clip Khalo myself cos its not cheap here to get done, he stands still well enough for me to do it,... until I get to clipping his ears & feet and doing his nails and he's not keen on that so I had to purchase one of those clipping slings, and I hang him from the cloths line in it to do them, I get like two feet done and then he tries to bite me, I asked the vet is there anything else I can try to stop him biting without putting a muzzle on him, cos I don't like those things it puts more fear into the dog I recon... he said a medical collar maybe and they were not expensive or they could clip them but at a cost.. everything costs money and a lot of it these days, but I then went n got myself one of those sanding type nail clipping machines instead and he doesn't mind that, in fact it puts him to sleep so its meditative.. but its time consuming.

Yes shoes, or in her case our friend's slippers and sliders!  What's your dog's name Vlada

I'm new to puppies, it's a huge learning curve at the moment.  She's pretty smart, but seems to be happiest having her walk and playing tug.  She puts her front paws on our knees with her favourite toy of the moment in her mouth.  She likes to win the tug of war, then starts the game again, so we throw the squeaky Miss Raspberry and she brings its back.  

We've been scratching our heads a bit over her barking at things we don't notice and this morning the phone rang and she seemed upset afterwards and although we reassured her, and distracted her she continued to look scared so thought it best to get her into her comfort zone with a walk.  She's being picked up later on so hopefully we'll find out if she's been scared/upset by phones ringing before.

We don't get Eastenders here anymore IDK why we used to,years back.. but yes those good belly laugh comedy like shows I love, laughter is such good medicine for the soul.. Better keep your shoes off the floor and watch the table & chair legs with a 6mth old pup they normally love a good chew.. but yes puppies can make you laugh and lift your soul too, that's why I love my dog so much he's so much fun and he's so loving and loyal.. and he's smart too, I've taught him how to talk English.. I get him to say "I want yum yums" when he wants a treat, he dosn't get it unless he talks.. smart cookie he is.. I'm so pleased I have animals around me they really are great companionship..

Hi, Yes I also enjoyed all the shows from way back, there used to be some good TV.  So glad you shared what you love, those shows were hilarious, what we call now good old fashion fun with lots of belly laughs and joy.  Also in agreement about Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Easteneders.  Here's to good fun and belly laughs!

We're looking after a 6mth old puppy at the moment, oh my it's fun and exhausting at the same time.  Her name's Maggie and she's a cockapoo apricot colour and she's not long had her first clip, she's so cute....

I watch all the re-runs on TV years back now, totally hilarious British humor I love it!!, ...its about time they did them all over again, they were so funny, the others I watched were Dad's Army, Benny Hill, Steptoe & Son, The Two Ronnies, George & Mildred, Are You Being Served, Monty Python, & Monty Pythons flying circus, Black Adder, Absolutely Fabulious, Father Ted, Some Mothers Do Hav Em, The Young Ones, Keeping Up Appearance's, Vicor of Dibley, French & Saunders, Mrs Brown.. Mr Bean.. Only Fools n Horses, Men behaving Badly, there were heaps more I cant think now,.. they'll all come rushing to me when I don't think about them.. we got them all here back in the 90's..now we have total crop repeats of Coronation Street & Emmerdale farm..in coro all they do is talk gossip about each other and go to the pub every day..or in Emerdale they are plotting to get hold of land,& killing each other.lol I know thats funny too but they arnt even comedies...
