Five months old, 8kgs:
When I come back into this world, I’m going to come back as a human.
Human’s can eat what they like, when they like. They can even go shopping and choose their own food!
Me? I’m only allowed to eat twice a day, whereas new-mum and new-dad eat ALL THE TIME! I’m only allowed to eat dried fake-meat balls and sometimes CHICKEN – but they have different food EVERY time.
When I play the ‘sad-eyes’ card they often feel sorry for me and give me some of their tasty food. But I have to try to control myself. If I get too excited and start jumping up for more, they make me wait until they’ve finished and put it into my bowl instead of me eating it there and then. Or I might not even get any at all.
I have to be careful also because if I don’t eat my own food and wait for something more tasty instead – not only do I not get anything tasty, but my own food disappears too. I’m not sure where it goes or who eats it, but I know it doesn’t come back to me. Then I end up with nothing!
The other day I tried to sneak into the shopping bag. I knew they were going to the supermarket so I thought I would sneak along with them and add my own stuff to the basket. Here’s my list:
- CHICKEN
- CHICKEN
- CHICKEN
- Chocolate (but some idiot told new-mum chocolate can damage a dog’s health)
- Ice-cream (new-mum read on the Internet that dogs couldn’t tolerate milk products, but my real-mum used to give me milk all the time)
- Yoghurt – especially apricot flavour and only if I can lick the pot
- Biscuits – not the doggy kind but the delicious ones humans eat
- Peaches – lovely juicy ones
- Peanut butter – with or without toast but straight from the jar is even better
- Sausages – ANY kind
- Apples – to clean my teeth
- Cheese – especially cheddar (drat, another milk product!)
In fact, I could eat ANYTHING as long as it wasn’t that dried dog food. Whoever invented that rubbish anyway?
It certainly wasn’t a dog..!
I'll just sneak into the shopping bag...
I don't think anyone saw me...
I'll just wait here quietly. I'm sure they haven't noticed me...
That was easy - I don't think I've been spotted..!
What Is This Lungworm?

My Cool Cousin, Russell
My cool cousin, Russell’s dad has been telling new-mum about this ‘lungworm’ and I was listening with interest, because I thought they were talking about FOOD.
But it turns out this ‘lungworm’ is a greedy little parasite that feeds on DOGS and it can be very dangerous!!!
The vet said there is a global epidemic in YOUNG DOGS (like me and Russell) and it can be picked up from SLUGS and SNAILS – urgghhh! How revolting! Who in their right mind would want to eat a slug or a snail?
Not only that, foxes can also become infected and if you’re a dog that likes a little fox-poo delicacy now and again, then you’d better retrain your taste buds – quick! Mind you, I am SO bored with the dried fake-meat balls that new-mum keeps giving me, I’m not surprised some dogs turn to fox poo, snails and slugs….
But really, this lungworm infection can be very dangerous – even fatal if it’s not treated. And infections can be spread in dog poo too.
So don’t leave your pet toys out in the garden for the slugs to crawl all over them and you can read more about this lungworm here: What is this lungworm? and find out how to treat and prevent it too.
Now you’ve been warned!
I'm am turning into such a Lady!
