A day in the life of a Raccoon

For Christmas I had a Raccoon, he is now my best buddy and my favourite toy ever!
But I now have new responsibilities in life...

Here I am keeping a watchful eye on him in case he wanders off into the clutches of Dexter or Ditto!

 It is important to keep one eye half open even whilst sleeping in case he escapes...

I even sometimes fall asleep holding him in my mouth

He must be carried around at all times and never left out of sight

Ditto rather likes my Raccoon also and here she is wriggling into the picture to try and steal him!

Ditto being the girl went for the multi coloured octopus which she is clearly very proud of

Got to keep an eye on that Raccoon still though whilst Ditto is around as she pinches him when she can!

Dexter had a new little dog friend

We also had pigs trotters each, apparently mine was the same size as Dexters and Ditto's, I don't think it could have been as I ate mine in half the time the others took to eat theirs, then I had to beg for crumbs from Dexter, who has the patience of a saint as he never grumbles at me even though I do at times deserve it!

And to round things off, the all important game of roly poly with Ditto

Happy Christmas to all fellow gingernuts!

Dexter is eight !

Dexter is eight years old on 10th December, here is a video compilation of various photos from eight weeks to eight years, with Ditto joining in from 2006 and Deazel from earlier this year.

Christmas has come early!!

I'm nearly 9 months old now and life has been rather odd lately, Mum no longer lets me off the lead and I've been told I won't be able to run and play until next year which seems a very long time away to a 9 month old pup!  But being injured has its upsides and as a result Christmas seems to have come early and we are all getting LOADS of new pressies, of course we will still expect more pressies at Christmas!

I have had a harness from xtradog.com in racing green colour and here I am posing in it....

We have all had new equafleece coats too!           

Dexter also had some new pyjamas for when we move house, slightly hoping I don't get any of these, although Dexter seems to like his!


And we also have had three everlasting treat balls and three kongs which Mum is filling with various yummy treats so there is definitely an upside to this restricted exercise lark... but I will be glad when I am off the lead again!!
