Where are we; Wednesday?

Instead of Wordless Wednesday I thought we might play ‘Where are We?’ Wednesday instead.

See if you can guess where Ludo and Arran are in the photo below. I’ll reveal the answer next Wednesday. This picture was not taken in the Lake District, although it has some similarities in that is a popular English Tourist destination down south and it also features water. The area is famed for having yellow stone buildings.

(I think you can click the picture to bigify)

Where’s Arthur?

Hi, I’m Arthur and I am here!

If you haven’t met me yet, I am a Black and White Border Collie and I am not yet two years old, so I am really just a big puppy. So It’s ok that sometimes I get called a ‘clumsy oaf’ or, ‘watch your big paws’. Most of the time I am quite graceful, honest! I only sometimes get told off by Arran because I barrelled into him, it’s just not as easy as you might think to find your breaks. Especially when you are built to run and leap around after sheep (or tennis balls), like I am. Do you know what sheep are? They are animals that you can find out in the outside, they just roam around the countryside, for some reason and they are very important ‘Leave Its’. Which means you cannot chase them or even look like you might chase them or even get too close to them. When I was younger I would get treats and my special toys for doing good ignorings of the sheep and looking at my people instead. Now I just walk past them like they are a bush or something, only, I don’t leave any pee mail on them.

Saying Hurro

Hurro! I’m Arran, also known as Scamp and I get to do the first post on our new blog to tell you all about our home and the things that are important to us.

So, this is my food bowl. It gets put down over here near my day time bed. I like to do three spins before I get to it when it is put down.

Of course, it is better when it has food in it, but that doesn’t happen very often, only twice a day! I eat raw meat, but I am happy to have most any kind of food. People food is also welcome!

Even though I like food a lot, my bowl has to go in its proper place, otherwise I can not eat from it. When my bro-fur Ludo went to his forever sleep my mum lady tried to move my bowl into Ludo’s spot.

That is not right! Things have to go where they go. Like my harness, it has to hang up in the porch, not on the side somewhere. Not right!

Oh, I am being told I am going off topic. What else is important?

We like going for nice walkies, to the beach, or a woodland, or lake, or even just around a town. All of the Outside is pretty interesting.

Walking is fun!

We do agility and training with Mum and that is important because we get treats.

I have lived in my home since I was 9 weeks old and before that I lived with my fur-mum and my fur-sisters. I have a kennel club name too and that is Elanmore Beach Boy. I use it when I do agility. You can read more about my dog family from a post on my old blog here.

This year, (or, Mum says last year now, but human time isn’t really important to me) a new thing happened in our house and it made things really quite different because it is often more noisy and we have to wait for everyone to get ready when we go out for walks. It also means we have Mum home with us instead of going out to work, which is good. But also not good because now I don’t get my going out to work treat anymore. Boy, I loved that one, because it happened at the same time every day.

We got a human baby called Squiggly. He is really interesting, especially when he first arrived home with Mum and our Dad, who is called TNP, he was named by my bro-fur Ludo and it meant The new/nice person) TNP carried him in and he smelled soo interesting. Like all new stuff but familiar too. We both wanted to play with him but to be honest he is pretty useless in that regard. He is a bit bigger now but when he was this small we had to be super careful not to tread on him cos Our pawrents didn’t like that.

See how I am being a super good boy and leaning away to be extra sure I don’t step on him?

My other super important thing is barking. I like to bark to warn about intruders, or to play, or just cos I feel like it. We get a whole lot of intruders. Sometimes it’s a blackbird in the garden stealing stuff, sometimes it’s some person walking past. But I’m always there, ready to guard!

I hope you’ll come along and join us on our adventures on this blog.

With lots of woofs,

Arran.

Welcome

Welcome to our new blog!

L’al is a Cumbrian colloquialism meaning, little or small. Like our own small human baby!

We hope you’ll enjoy reading about our adventures here in West Cumbria, England. This blog will be authored by Arran, a Shetland Sheepdog, Arthur, a Border Collie dog and their human, Dee, who isn’t a type of dog. Arran has shared a blog before, with his fur brother Ludo, you can find a link to it in the side bar over there.

Thanks for stopping by!
