Why did I do that post about the puppies eating poop?
As if to prove the point, Lily decided to do a nosedive into a pile of fresh poop and emerged absolutely covered!
Unfortunately she then proceeded to high tail it into the house and smear it across as many different surfaces as she could find, before I eventually got hold of her. No way was she prepared to have the wet cotton wool ball treatment, so in the end, I used one of those magic lavender wet wipes and bribed her with treats while I got her restored to some semblance of cleanliness. (I do like those wipes and must ask Chris where he got them from as they were part of his amazing goodie bag)
The puppies have obviously reached the manic point of the day a little later than usual. In fact, they were going so crazy in the house that I have had to put them outside again where they are happily running circuits around the puppy playground.
Keep going girls - you've had lots of sleep today so you need to burn off some energy before bedtime!
LILY & ROSE
Here are some photos of Lily & Rose. There are a few from the first time we saw them when they were just 4 weeks old. They would fit on your hand at this age and didn't look much like westies!

The wipes came from either Pet World or Wilkinson's (Cramlington). I have to say that after my experiences again today with Maggie Mae wipes will never be enough if you have bought a "roller". She rolled in something so evil, so foul smelling this morning I was forced to hose her down again in the garden. So annoyed was I, that I left her tethered to the garden bench to dry out, rather like the tethered goat as prey for the T Rex in Jurassic Park or Andromeda and Cetus. And I was fully prpared to fight off Perseus should s/he take pity.
ReplyDeleteThen I put her in a soapy bath and showered her again. Boy was she p***ed at me! However she came and sat at my feet tonight and said sorry. I accepted of course and we're best of friends again. My Grandfather always used to say the "harder you treat 'em the more they come back". He was wrong of course because after I threatened to skelp her backside in the Cobalt she dicked off and wouldn't come back to heel. She had to be cajoled back into my car where she sat on the floor and made me retch all the way back home. (Phew that feels better) Anyway we;re best of friends again.........til tomorrow
Thanks Dannymatt, but I know what you mean about needing something more effective.
ReplyDeleteI must ask you at this point why you never mentioned any of this when we were considering getting puppies?
Although, when I think about the wipes, anti-odour stuff and shampoo etc that you put in the goodie bag it should have given me a clue!
Poor Maggie Mae - I'm sure she didn't MEAN to end up so malodorous! Glad you've made up now though!
