Another Billy update.



So, how's Billy's training coming along Cro?

Well he's doing very well, thank you. Now when he jumps up and bites me, he only takes small lumps of flesh from my hands, and he only rips the lining out of his bed in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. His baby teeth have now mostly been replaced (naturally) thank goodness.

Otherwise we've taught him to eat and drink, to run, to leave muddy paw-prints half way up our glazed doors, and to sleep; all of which he's learnt very quickly. We've also taught him to swim (ahem).


His first portrait!

Yes, he's coming along very nicely.

He seems to have a wonderful life with you.

Cro Magnon said...

He's certainly a very happy little boy.

Sue said...

There's nothing more rewarding than a happy dog.

local alien said...

Nice portrait of a happy little puppy. And a gorgeous photo of the happy little puppy surrounded by mayhem!

Susan Heather said...

He's coming on nicely then. Looks happy.

Hard up Hester said...

Cro your training seems to be going as well as ours, though as our dog is about five years old we don't have the baby teeth to contend with.

Jomo said...

My daughter is forever sewing her dog's bed back together. Billy is doing just fine and having a great life with you and Mrs M. He is a bundle of fun and mischief I think. Enjoy. Hope you get to use the pool I love swimming. I used to swim two hours a day until the pool was closed and the site built on. So much for promoting our health not to mention how fabulous it was for the community and the vast array of people who used it. Obviously Coventry City Council knows best!

Cro Magnon said...

He's certainly that. He loves it here.

Cro Magnon said...

I think he invented mayhem; but all puppies are much the same.

Cro Magnon said...

Boundless energy, and plenty of mischief. Perfect.

Jomo said...

Apologies to Lady M as I incorrectly addressed her as Mrs M.Sorry your Ladyship.

Cro Magnon said...

We do try to explain to him, but he puts his paws in his ears!

Cro Magnon said...

She forgives you.

I am confident that I'll swim this afternoon. It may only reach 22 C, but I'll be brave!

Carol Caldwell said...

Look at that sweet and innocent little face. He looks to be saying "who, me!".

New World said...

Looks like 2 beds he's got there. Does he leave you alone at night when you are asleep?

Cro Magnon said...

"I thought you wanted me to empty it!".

Cro Magnon said...

Now he sleeps on the tiled floor by the door. He's not yet ventured upstairs. We haven't had a nasty storm since he's been here, so that'll be interesting. The other dogs always came upstairs to be with us.

It's just that wonderful assumption they have that everything is "Mine!". Even my cat has it.

Love the portrait very Enid Blyton

gz said...

lovely portrait...keep them coming!!
nice pup too

Cro Magnon said...

Billy certainly has it.

Cro Magnon said...

He quite an Enid Blyton kinda dog. I can just picture him with the Famous Five.

Cro Magnon said...

Border Collies are quite easy to draw, you just have to get the black bits in the right place!

Jacqueline @ HOME said...

He doesn't know how lucky he was to be owned by you both ( & for you to have him ) Kimbo paired you up beautifully. Love the drawing. XXXX

Cro Magnon said...

We go together well. One big happy family.

Cro Magnon said...

JUST HAD MY FIRST SWIM OF 2019. 23 C WATER. A BIT NIPPY, BUT GOOD TO COOL OFF.

Ruth said...

Billy reminds me of our Daisy when she was a pup. That first winter when I went out to clean up poop on the January frozen ground, I laughed! I could have knitted a many-colored sweater from all the threads she'd passed! She got over it by the next year, thank goodness. Isn't it fun to watch the learning process of a precious pup! Your drawing is a wonderful likeness!

northsider said...

Billy look a bundle of fun and full of devilment. A great Canine pal.

New World said...

Our outside temperature was 28C this afternoon, and 25 C when I came home just now.

Cro Magnon said...

31 C here, almost too hot for a Spring day.

Cro Magnon said...

Actually I'm rather enjoying his growing pains. He's a bit mischievous, but we quite like that side of his character.

Cro Magnon said...

He's been a bit quiet today; I don't think he enjoys the heat.

Jules said...

He sounds perfect.

The Weaver of Grass said...

Pretty much par for the course with pups then.

Anonymous said...

Some dog adolescence is worse than others. Billy sounds on the worse side but will of course come good.

Bohemian said...

Clearly you're raising quite the Rebel! But he's such an Adorable one!

Cro Magnon said...

He's getting that way.

Cro Magnon said...

It shows character.

Cro Magnon said...

Maybe in 6 months or so.

Cro Magnon said...

With all his foibles, he's a real cutie.

angryparsnip said...

Your floor looks just like mine the only difference is ours comes from stuffed toys and it is white so we call it snow.
Agatha is very good at making snow !

Cro Magnon said...

It was the Cat's bed that Billy adopted. I've thrown it out now!
