“Dear Mr Dog, from the information we have received, you satisfy the medical standards for safe driving!” At last! That been since April last year! While I am aware that there are some malcontents who will suggest that “safe” and Tony should never be used in the same sentence as “driving”, I am delighted toContinue reading “It’s a Dog’s Life…”

I know, I know, I promised something musical, but my song for Hogmanay was a bit belated, my “Goodbye Catherine-Margaret” has a target audience of one (ok 10 then), and “Black Dog” (by lDW) just seemed too depressing for January. In a perfect world I’d have done a cover of “Here comes the sun” butContinue reading “It’s a Dogs Life …”

I’m not sure about the numbering? 104? I mean it’s really 115 or thereabouts. Maybe we’ll stop counting and just be; “It’s a Dog’s life…” (the elipsis is important… to me). Anyway, Happy New Year to you all, I hope it’s a good one. And so at this time of year, our thoughts traditionally turnContinue reading “It’s a Dog’s Life 104”

I thought I’d write today, rather than getting lost in the rush tomorrow. Wikipedia (normaly an acceptable first port of call) babbles on about the assorted possible but undecided entymology of “Hogmanay” (or Hagmena, Hogmina or Hagman-ha, across northern England), but it doesn’t really elucidate about “why”. Perhaps the true answer will never be rightlyContinue reading “It’s a Dog’s Life Hogmanay”

It was my intention to update the video of me reading “Night before Christmas”, or maybe write and record a new Festive song on guitar. I could have fallen (comically) down the stairs with a Santa hat on, and one too many eggnogs, but best laid plans…. Instead I had Xmas eve dinner with myContinue reading “It’s a Dogs Life – Christmas Special”

So I’m in the check out queue at a local supermarket (there are 3), not my favourite place to be (as regular readers will know), but needs must. It’s not particularly busy, I would suggest “steady” as the appropriate adjective. “My” check out assistant is bantering with the one in the next lane. I getContinue reading “It’s a Dogs Life 103”

“Winters came, the snow has fell, wee Josies nose is froze as well…” (Glasgow childrens rhyme). “The Starks are always right eventually” (Maester Aemon of the Nightswatch.) Maybe with age, my blood just got a bit thinner, but strewth is it cold? As we set off arm in arm to the shops, it always seemsContinue reading “It’s a Dogs Life 102”

Well first, I’d like to thank everyone who posted, commented or liked in support of my 100th video. Of course I actually uploaded the video to the wrong place (my “real” facebook, rather than hidden away in Back of the Kennel), so I’m sure I have some likes from some confused people who will haveContinue reading “It’s a Dogs Life 101”

Well from the myriad(1) of entries, I picked the “musical” one for the style of todays post. I know this is not exactly what the suggestion was, but it (sort of) works out for me. So, almost chronologically, and with about a thousand apologies to Mr Joel: https://www.facebook.com/809579191/videos/823101755628904/ (Fire? Why are you asking me?) DogsContinue reading “It’s a Dog’s Life 100!!!!”

“…..Hello DVLA, it;s been about a month since I spoke to my consultant, and I’m wondering if threre’s any update in my case?” ” Sorry Sir, I have no more information as we havent received anything from the hospital…..” “…But my consultant said…………………. Could you confirm something for me? If I’ve been told verbally thatContinue reading “It’s a Dog’s Life 99!”
