You watched the likes of Sacconejoly and Zoella but they have nothing on the likes of this canine. Mum had a great idea last week of filming our first vlog for my Youtube channel.
Filming commenced on the Sunday and both me and mum had a great. She wasn't so much for the editing though which took forever! Finally the video was ready to go live at 6pm on Monday.
We would love us if you could view my first doggie vlog below. Don't forget to paw that like button, leave us a comment and subscribe if your new.
Hello Fwiends, Ok, ok. I know this post is going out on Thursday instead of Wednesday. Mum was really busy yesterday (or so she tells me) and I use can't type it myself with those stupid keyboard keys!
Hello Fwiends, Lottie here - once a year my human says I have this called a birthday. I mean, personally I just don't get it, but if it means I get lots of new things I'm all for it. All last week mum has been saying "It's your birthday on Sunday". Sunday I thought. How the heck am I meant to know when it's Sunday. I know I'm clever but knowing what day of the week it is, thats a bit advance for my doggy brain. But, by using my doggy have special powers. I only had to track mum's actions to see that yesterday must of been the day! Boy was I excited. Apparently I turned the big Four on Sunday. Mum then muttered something about that being 28 in human years. Doesn't she realise I'm pure canine! 28! That makes me older than my mum, even I know that can't be right! I had lots of great new toys and treats and of course was spoilt rotten.
Are all these for me!
They look yum!
When mum posted my picture on my Facebook page I had over 300 likes. Wow! Thanks guys that made me feel very loved. Be sure to check out the video below of me playing with one of my new toys.
Until next time, fwiends. Woofs and Kisses Lottie (And Jessica) P.s I really wish they made these keys smaller than I could type my own blog. Be sure to check me out on the next series of Doggy Den! Hehe.
Vain! Me never! Two weeks ago mum entered me into a local doggy competition. The winner is the photograph with the most amount of likes on their Facebook Page. Just click on the link below. (Don't forget to click like on the my actual photo, or you vote won't count). Click here
We are currently in first place but it would be great if you guys could vote for me. Mum and I would love to win. The photographer took that many great photos, that in the end mum ended up buying a few which she can collect this Saturday. It was a great day out and I felt like a Pudsey.
Lottie here - Ok, ok. I know I haven't posted a blog post for agessss. Butttt both me and mum have been really busy really. Mum is graduating from University this summer so she has had lots of deadlines for her degree.
Anyway mum assures me that the hectic period is now over so busy can resume as normal (well as normal as possible in our house).
Over the last 24 hours we have been experiencing a heatwave here in the UK. So its really important to keep us doggies nice and cool. Mum has been pulling out all the stops to make sure I do just that. Anyway its time for me to go and seek out a few more birds so I will hand you over to mum, who has much more time on her hands than me.
Jessica here - I know 'Lottie has already apologised on our behalf for our lack of posts but I feel I should too. If you lives are anything like mine you can be half way through the year before you even know it. Just where has this year gone?
Anyway that isn't what I came here to write, so I had better get on with it.
With today being the hottest day ever recorded for July in the UK. I woke up this morning and thought I had better make Lottie some iced treats to help keep her cool.
I made her up several kongs using a wet dog food and some doggie ice cubes. For these I mashed a whole bananna and mixed it with some plain natural yougurt and just for good measure I popped a liver treat on the top (they always go down really well in this house).
During the midday sun I decided to see if they had frozen. Bingo! We had frozen iced cubes.
Now I'm not going to lie, they didn't look the most appealing treats I have ever given Lottie. Although a lot of doggie treats definitely DONT look good enough to eat.
Even though they had frozen I knew that once little madam had her paws on them, thing would turn messy. So, I decided to pop them into her normal food bowl to contain it.
Lottie has a Hing Bowl and she loves it. It's great at helping stop mess and I never accidentally run over it and end up with a swimming pool on the kitchen floor. I got it her when she was around 6 months old so its all she's ever know (just bare that in mind).
The 'Hing Bowl'
On leaving the kitchen I had the little waggy tail hitting my wheelchair in excitement. Off we went into the garden so Lottie could enjoy her treat.
I placed the bowl (minus the holder ) on the floor and instructed Lottie with the normal wait command (so i could get the camera ready). Ok, I said. What happened next I definitely did not expect.
She went up to the bowl and immediately backed off. It soon became quite clear she wasn't going to eat them. Oh no! I thought. She doesn't like them. Then I thought, surely her taste buds can't change in less than 12 months, she loved them last year.
Then I had a light bulb moment!
She wont eat out of the bowl without the holder.
Off I wheeled back into the kitchen to fetch her holder. We repeated the whole process again and BINGO she went straight up to the bowl and took one of the ice cubes out and eat it on the grass (I don't know why she does that, but she always has).
Afterwards it really made me think. Dogs really are more intelligent than we give them credit for. Lottie in her canine brain knew that something wasn't quiet right with the bowl and made the decision not to eat out of it. Something my human brain had never even thought of!
You can check out the whole 'thing' below in the video.
Does your dog have any funny traits/behaviour? We would love to hear them?
