Rocky the Otterhound: What have we done this week apart from the usual?

A short blog again this week but there are 2 more YouTube films to watch. Look for them on the "More Otterhound links" to the right ..... They are: "Gentle Rosie plays with balloons" and "How to clean your Otterhound". We hope you enjoy them.

So, what's new? Well, this week Rosie continues to delight in her balloons ..... Loves them, hence the You Tube clip!

Unfortunately Rocky, who used to adore them, is now of the opinion that they present some sort of threat .....

Hence the "Gotta sit on safe daddy" stance he has taken!!

Brave Otterhound!

Rosie loved them so much she insisted on taking one to bed with her .....

All her idea; how she managed to get such a firm grip on the string I don't know ..... But there was no way anybody was going to take it away from her ..... Even if she was fast asleep!!

The familiar round of games and walks continued for our two hounds, followed by much Otterhound relaxing!

However, our two hero's had their winter bath this week .....

..... Do watch the YouTube "How to clean your Otterhound" clip, it's lots of fun despite the chore it can seem ......

..... They did, of course, go bananas after their wash! What fun they had!

Anyway, this is the end result of all that hard work .....

Aren't they beautiful?

Rocky ended up all silky and soft, very touchable .....

"Daddy" got lots of love for making him feel all funny and nice .....

Lots of kisses from a gentle giant of a dog ....

So "daddy" told him how good he had been and how pleased he was with him!

Rocky was so happy he gave "daddy" a big sloppy kiss on the chops ......

"I love you too Rocky"!!!

Mij, a spectator of bathing goings on and wet fur madness, found herself worn out by the proceedings ..... So she assumed her honorary Otterhound position!

..... While Rocky and Rosie .......

..... Well .......

.....Night night Rosie and night, night Rocky; dream of wet fur, manic fun and loving feelings!!
