Today is just lovely and sunny and warm and I have been outside since 7.00am this morning and only came in to collect my lunchtime biscuit!!!!  I just love this weather.

This is how Blue the sky is today with just a few whisps of white cloud.  Mom took this from her car so the black band is where she rested the camera but then got the car too!!!!!

I had been outside all day yesterday too as the weather has been so sunny for the last few days but I was really tired last night and got to snuggle with Mom at bedtime!!!!!

I love this Spring weather.  I hope you are all having a great week.

Woof, Treacle xx

Anymore Treats Mom?

She got two extra for Easter two weeks ago and a couple donated from the clearout by the Boys so we have said we will go through her Toy Basket and tidy it up and get rid of any which are wrecked!!!!!!

IMG_2720

It has been a busy day!!!

I am going to make her some biscuits from a recipe I have found on the web, but didn’t have time to do them yesteday but will have a go over the weekend!!!

I had some errands to run this morning and I called at the Garden Centre to pick up some plants and some seeds for the summer and I called at the garage to get some fuel and get my car washed as it had not been done in ages and was getting really dirty!!!!

DH is out until tonight and then out again early tomorrow morning at another swimming event and then will have to move all the sound equipment to another venue for the Monday event!!!  I am going to be busy at home getting some Spring Cleaning done and some quilting too!!!

Have a great weekend.

Hugs, Susie xx

The Wednesday Wag.

IMG_2571

You would not believe what has been going off in our home this past weekend!!!  I mean really no where for a dog to lay its head, every single room has had stuff in it!!!!  It was great as both my Boys were here but they hardly had any time to play with me as Dad and they were running up and downstairs with things and Mom did not have time to play as she was sorting all these things out!!!  I mean, really!!!!

IMG_1901

One consolation from all this was that the weather was amazing and I was able to spend all day outside in my garden playing football and having the odd bark or three at the wretched squirrel when he tried to call!!!!!

The house is now back in order and I gained a few things from the tidy up, a new softy from Youngest and an old cushion shaped like a camper van (whatever one of those is) for my basket to lean my had on from Eldest.  Yeah for tidy ups!!!!!

I hope you had a wonderful Woofy Easter (I also got two new toys for my Easter present).

The Wednesday Wag.

We have had quite a few nice days with warm sunshine so I have been out and about and in my garden, Mom has let me have the back door open so I can come and go as I want to.

On Saturday the weather was nice too so Dad, Mom and I went to Chatsworth House for a walk in their gardens.  The Duke always has sculpture displays in the garden each year and this year the theme is the Dog!  Quite appropriate for me.  They also have a new puppy called Henry, who has his own Instagram Account – Chatswoof here https://www.instagram.com/chatswoof/?hl=en.

Here are pictures of my walk.

Come with me for a walk around Chatsworth Gardens.

This is one of the Dog Statues at the head of the Emperor Fountain.

IMG_2689

Mom loves this picture of Chatsworth House and the grounds and the vista.

IMG_2690

The Daffodils were all out

IMG_2692

Also some statues of deer, although there is a big deer herd in the main grounds of Chatsworth.

IMG_2693

More Daffodils  appearing.

IMG_2694

We stopped half way ground for a break and of course the odd biscuit or three!

IMG_2695

Any more biscuits Mom?

IMG_2696

Come on Mom I need to explore over there.

Biscuit stop!

Another of the dog statues and I thought this was real so started barking at him to warn him off, Mom and Dad just laughed!!!!

Chatsworth in the sunshine.

It was a lovely morning walking and then we had lunch at Chatsworth before heading home.  Mom and Dad have a few more weekends free so we can go for some more long walks exploring.

I hope you are having a very happy Woofy Wednesday.

The Wednesday Wag.

Well it has been a funny few days with weather.  I have been warm, then wet and now cold again!!!  Mom, of course, got my Airecut and all my lovely warm fur cut off so it is now freezing again outside!

DSC_0115

I have to find the sunshine and warmth where I can in our home.  Mom and Dad’s bed is favourite as they have double windows in their room and the sun streams through making it lovely and warm when in fact it is really cold outside!!!!

DSC_0118

I was also keeping Mom company in her sewing room on Sunday and it was very cool that day so I had a blanket over me. 

IMG_2643

I have spent a few days when it has been nice outside with the door open so I can come and go as I please and Dad also got me a new football for outside but the weather is too cool now for the door to be open all the time!

After this coming weekend Mom and Dad don’t have anything on at the weekends so they have promised to take me on some extra long walks, hopefully with the weather being better and not too cold or rainy!!!!

img_1896

So we have not been out and about very much with the weather being like it is but I don’t mind as I love to sleep next to Mom’s desk all day while she works and I can keep an eye on things!!!!

Have a very Woofy Wednesday.

A Dog’s Eye View of Brexit on The Wednesday Wag!

DSC01783

There is a lot of talk about this thing called Brexit and as far as I am concerned the biggest concern is my Bonios!  Now Bonios are made by a company whose base is in America!  So we should be okay however the parent company is in Switzerland and of course they are in the EU!  This is where my problems may begin as we have not agreed a proper exit from the EU.  So what is going to happen about my Bonios?  Will there be a shortage?  Will we have to get them on the black market?  Will the price go through the roof?  A dog needs these answers!

Mom says that my Bonio box is full and I have another new box in our store cupboard so I am good for a few months as I have one a day but that does not seem very long.  I think I will have to dig into my savings and ask her to order me two more boxes, I mean I know we are not supposed to stock pile food but really they are an essential part of my diet!!!

DSC_0113

I have had to retire to Mom and Dad’s bed to contemplate this terrible news! 

Mom keeps saying she is going to make me some biscuits of a recipe she has found especially for us doggies so I think I am going to have to encourage her to do that, as I cannot be without my lunchtime biscuit.

IMG_2632

I mean who could deny this face her biscuits?  Surely not these stupid politicians that are supposed to be running our country but seem to be out for their own ends rather than the people they are supposed to be representing!!!!!!

I am off my soap box now and having a snooze!  It is all just too much!

Happy Wednesday Wag!

The March Lion!

lion-3317566_1920

Here in Derbyshire March has come in like a Lion!  We have had high winds, trees down and this on Sunday morning :

We get no snow during December, January and February but March 10th? Snow!!!!  Of course two weeks before we had the hottest February since records began!!!  Crazy, crazy weather!!!

We had a wonderful evening on Saturday with our friends who came for dinner and caught up on all their news and they went home around 1.00am!!!  Needless to say we cleared up on Sunday morning!!! 

IMG_2631

This was Treacle on Friday last and we gave her a brush yesterday and clouds of fur was coming out and we have put it out in case the birds are starting to build their nests.  Today she was at the spa, after I had taken DH to work as his truck was in for a service today!!! 

She visited everyone at the company we work with in Nottingham this morning when we dropped DH off and before I took her for her Spa day!!!

IMG_2632

Here she is all washed, cut and clean for all of two seconds and about five pounds lighter now all her fur has gone!!!  Of course this week is supposed to be very cold again, it’s always the same when I get Treacle cut!!!!  She will be wearing her coat for walks!!!

IMG_2639

I don’t think I will be doing any gardening this week as it is forecast hailstones and more rain, very cold and high winds!!!  I have plenty to do with work and home jobs so it won’t be an issue!!  Next weekend DH is out all weekend commentating for another swimming club at their Open and I am going over to Nottingham again on Saturday morning and then in the afternoon I am doing a Safeguarding Course for swimming until 4.00pm, oh joy!  Sunday I will be able to spend the whole day in my sewing room, yeah.

Have a great week everyone.
