Green Eyes and Squeaky Toys

 Hi everyone it’s only me Olga and Troy

Well a lot has happened over the last few weeks it all started with my Mum making funny noises again, obviously, Troy didn’t know what was going on and started panicking……

Troy: “Olga Olga Olga!”

Me: “What Troy”

Troy: “Mum has eaten one of my squeaky toys! Come and listen – hurry!”

Me: “What!”

Troy: “Come on hurry she’s asleep, and I’ve tried to have a look in her mouth but she told me off”

Me: “I bet she did you silly boy”

We went and found Mum, Troy was right she was asleep on the sofa and she was making some strange whistling noises. I remember Mum being like this before and she had to go away for a few days. Troy was jumping about saying “What shall we do I hope it wasn’t my favourite toy!” I looked at Troy and told him to go and get Dad. He ran out of the lounge and upstairs shouting his head off, Mum woke up and wiped her face, Troy had clearly been trying to see in her mouth and dribbled on her… hahaha she was soaking!

I told Troy that Dad was outside and he came running back down the stairs and went outside. I heard him shouting at Dad and then Dad shouting at him to be quiet, the next thing Troy came running in with Dad’s hammer, quickly followed by Dad shouting at him to give it back. Mum told Dad she didn’t feel very well and he said they had better go and see a doctor I think they went to see Mr Jones. When Dad came home he told us she had to stay with the docs for a while. Troy asked me if Mum had eaten his favourite squeaky toy because he couldn’t find it!” this is what I have to put up with every day!

    

Dad took me to see Mr Jones too, he said it was just for a check-up but he was telling me fibs, Mr Jones gave me some treats and the next thing I was waking up with big bald patch on my tummy!! 

Honestly, I’m not going again, Louis use to go and when he came home he has bits missing! I’ve not been allowed to go on my beach which means Troy has had to go on his own, and Dad said he’s been sulking and not playing…. Hahha he missed me. Dad said one day when he took him for a run on the beach he stalked a bird and jumped on it, but because he’s such a clumsy clot he jumped over it and the bird flew off, he’s such an embarrassment! I think he’s a bit mad as well just look at his eyes they are green!!!

I’ve been staying with Nana and having my tea and toast for breakfast and then my 2 biscuits at 2 o’clock. I’ve had to remind Nana a couple of times because she almost forgot! I love going to Nana’s she gets my big fluffy duvet out for me to lie on.

Troy has been going to work with Dad and he’s made a new friend called Martin, Troy said he been helping to build Martins house – I said I bet you have been a real pain hahaha. I heard Dad telling Mum about when Troy fell off the van seat and he ended up half on and half off. Troy said he didn’t fall off he was meant to sit like that because he was comfy.. Yeah yeah whatever!

Mum has brought her tree back in the lounge again, Troy didn’t know what it was and he’s been asking me why there’s a sparkly tree in the lounge? I said I have no idea Mum does it every year, he’s already knocked a couple of the shiny things off it… Mum is very protective of her tree!! He got a bit excited yesterday and his tail got caught in it! I thought it was going to fall over, Mum was going potty hahahahaha.

I’m also having to guard my space in front of the fire, Troy has been stealing it and almost lying underneath it when it’s on!! Now I love the heat but he can stay there for hours and hours, I have to take a break and cool down. I’m sure he is going to melt.

Troy has found a new spot to sit – it’s Dads knee!!! Hahahaha he’s such a baby he’s always wanting cuddles. He doesn't give Dad anytime to himself, he is sooo needy. 

See you soon

Love Olga and Troy (baby) Boy

You are not the Andrex Puppy!

Hi everyone it’s only me Olga and Troy

Sorry it’s been ages since I last wrote, but Mum has been super busy and I couldn’t get the top open on the laptop, Troy tried to help but just ended up standing on it and then trying to ‘dig’ it open! Dad went mental hahaha.

Troy has been on and off the naughty step so much lately I cannot keep up with him, the other day he tried to pretended to be one of those dogs off the ‘moving picture box in the corner’ all because Mum said they were soooo cute. He watched what they did and then ran upstairs into the room with the big bowl that Dad puts us in sometimes when we are really dirty, and started chewing all the paper up. I went up to see what he was doing and that’s when I found all the paper everywhere! I ran downstairs and told Mum of course, she went upstairs and all I heard her saying was “TROOOYYYYYYYYY why have you done that!” – he came bounding down the stairs wagging his tail like he had just done something dead good! … Mum wasn’t impressed at all. I sat next to her and gave her cuddles and she said “Olga why did he do that? You have never done anything like that!” I gave her a kiss and said “I don’t know Mum he’s mental”

We’ve been going to Louis’s beach every day, and I’ve been trying to show Troy that he must chase the pesky birds off because they are not allowed on ‘Our Beach’, but he really doesn’t get it. I was training him the other day when it was really windy and instead of chasing the birds he started trying to chase the sand that was flying about! I told him he would never be able to stop it from running off the beach but he wouldn’t listen – stupid daft oaf!

Last week Dad finished work early and he said he was going to take us for a super long walk, we headed to the beach and Dad said we were going to walk to the next town! When we pulled up in the car Dad noticed a little old dog heading towards us with its owners who were older than the dog! Dad said “come on you two let’s keep out of its way, it sounds like it’s a bit grumpy”. Dad was right I could hear this little dog moaning he was saying “we haven’t been out long enough and it’s all your fault for wanting a wee, did I not say if you need a wee go before we leave the house, but ohhhhh noooo you know better” The little dog was tutting and everything, Troy started shouting at the little dog to stop moaning, I nipped Troy and told him to behave!

We headed off up the sand hills. Troy has never been up them before and I said there are things like this at Auntie Pam’s beach, they are ace! Troy pulled Dad up the first one and when we all got to the top, Dad said “Oh this is a bit high Olga, let me find a way down” – the next thing we were all flying through the air! Dad landed on Troy with his head in the sand, and I landed on Dad. Troy wriggled out from under Dad and said “There you go Dad I found the way down” I was a bit dizzy when I got up and Dad was covered in sand, he looked at me and checked me over, and then looked at Troy who was sat there with a big stupid grin on his face wagging his tail.

I said to Dad “What just happened? One minute we were all at the top and then next minute we are down here” Dad said “Troy decided the quickest way down was to just jump!” Dad spent the next hour or so trying to get the sand out of his ears and up his nose. Troy on the other hand thought it was brilliant and wanted to do it again!

As we walked along the beach, Dad found a big stick and we were chasing it, Troy was enjoying himself and he was behaving. Then all of a sudden, he took off running, Dad whistled him and shouted but he wouldn’t come back, I ran after him to find out what he was doing but he ignored me, he ran almost out of sight, then stopped. He started sniffing around like a mad thing, then he stopped pawed at the sand and picked this big thing up and ran back with it. When he got to Dad he dropped this thing and said “Dad I’ve got tea for us” he was very happy with himself, I looked at this thing and then at Dad and said “There is no way I’m eating that!” Dad told Troy he was naughty for running off but thanked him for catching the monster.

Since then every time we go to the beach Troy finds a monster and brings it to Dad for his tea, I can tell Dad doesn’t want them but he doesn’t want to hurt Troy’s feelings, although to be honest I don’t think Troy is wired the same as the rest of us hahaha.

Now as much as I don’t mind Troy being here and he is funny sometimes but there is one thing I WILL NOT put up with and that’s …… fire stealing! He has decided that he needs to be closer to the fire than me, now even Louis tried to do this and he couldn’t stand the heat, so I am not going to allow this big daft thing to get the best spot in the house!

He keeps trying and I keep nipping him to move, and stealing all the toys, because he knows he can only play with them when I don’t want to, he is really struggling to understand this rule!

Ohh my days I better go, he is trying to help Dad build the fire and he knows that’s my job! Honestly at this rate I’ll be calling Auntie Pam and telling her I’m sending him back!

See you soon lots of love Olga and Troy xxxxx

Troy the bucking bronco

Hi everyone it’s only me Olga and Troy the bucking bronco

Troy is off the naughty step but only because he cried and was creeping around Mum! Honestly she’s a sucker for soft dobie boys!

The other day I was down stairs having a cuddle with Mum and she was telling me about how much she misses Louis and she was giving me lots of kisses, Troy asked me AGAIN where Louis had gone? I told him that we had been playing hide and seek and I couldn’t find him, Troy jumped up and ran upstairs shouting “I’ve seen him! I know where he is come on I’ll show you”, I thought I better go and see what this idiot was woofing about.

When I got upstairs Troy was stood in our bedroom peeking around at the cupboard where Dad keeps his stuff, he whispered to me “Louis is in there I’ve just seen him” – I looked at Troy and said “Troy you silly thing, that’s not Louis, that’s where Mr and Mrs reflection live! Honestly sometimes I wonder about you.

Troy was stood there trying to tell me it was Louis because he was the same colour and everything, it took me ages to explain that Mr and Mrs Reflection live in there, I said “Come on I’ll show you, we will knock on their door” So I grabbed Troy by his ear and pulled him in front of the door, just as I was doing that Mrs Reflection was doing the exact same to Mr Reflection, he must have been naughty at the same time as Troy, “see Troy, meet Mr and Mrs R.” Troy said hello and nodded his head, and Mr R did the same, Troy said “Aww isn’t he nice – I’m going to tell Dad I have a new friend”

Nana and Grandad with the see through roof came home this week, it’s been ages since I’ve seen them, and they hadn’t met Troy so I said we will go and visit, I told Mum and Dad that we had to take Troy to see Nana, so instead of going on MY BEACH, we all walked down to Nana’s. I told Troy all about how great they are and how I always get tea and toast for breakfast and biscuits for afternoon tea. Troy was like “What’s afternoon tea?” I said “It’s what Nana’s give you” see what I mean about him being stupid!

Troy was on his best behavior when he met them, Grandad said he was a “Big Bugger” Hahaha silly Grandad Troy isn’t a bug he’s a Dobie like meeee. When he met Nana he got a bit excited and whipped his tail against Grandad’s leg and almost made him cry! I saved the day and ran up and gave Grandad a big kiss. He loves them because he always says “Olga I really don’t deserve this” Yes you do Grandad hehehehe.

Oh I better go Troy is charging at the gate outside, I better go and see what he’s up to.

See you soon

Love Olga and Troy.

Troy's first visit to the naughty step....

Hi everyone it's only me Olga... oh and my boat anchor Troy!

Hahahahaaaaaaaa Troy has had his first visit to the naughty step and he really didn’t like..

We’ve been going on MY beach every night and it’s been great I love it on there, Mum has been coming with us as well, she always has treats in her pockets, I’m sure her coat is made from treats! Troy thinks he deserves a treat for everything – coming back when he’s called, fetching a stick when Dad throws it, he’s such a do-gooder. Well he was until he decided to run after a strange dog! I’ll tell you what happened…

We had gone onto MY beach and Dad had let me run off first whilst Troy stayed on his lead, I did a couple runs by past Troy sticking my tongue out shouting “ner ner na ner ner I’m off my leeeaddd” …..hehehe He was jumping and crying as usual. Dad walked him nearer to the water and then told him to sit down whilst he took his head collar off, of course he got a treat for doing that dead easy thing! He then chased after me woofing he was going to catch me, I ran as fast as I could, but I was laughing so much he caught me pretty quick. He tagged me and ran off, as I turned to chase after him I spotted this big furry dog heading for us, it was running at top speed, it really didn’t look like it wanted to play either, I don’t like strange dogs so I started to run towards it to tell it to go away we are not playing.

When the strange dog got close to me, I could tell it wasn’t friendly because it was growling, so I shouted at it to go away, but it wouldn’t listen to me, it then headed straight towards Dad! Troy was playing in the water and didn’t notice what was going on until the strange dog barked at Dad. When Troy heard that he turned around and saw what was going on, and he set off at full speed after this dog! Wow Troy is actually a really fast runner! He barged into the strange dog and knocked it over! he then started shouting at it to leave us alone. Dad shouted Troy to come back because the strange dog had run off, but Troy wouldn’t go back to Dad, instead he chased after the strange dog and pushed him over again. Dad was shouting like mad but Troy wouldn’t come back until he was sure the strange dog had learnt its lesson.

I stayed next to Dad until Troy came back, and Dad gave me 2 treats because I had been good and not chased after the strange dog, but Troy on the other paw, was on the naughty step, because when he got back to Dad and sat down he wasn’t given a treat, Dad told him off and said he was naughty for not coming back. Troy tried to explain to Dad that he was protecting him, but Dad said “Troy stop answering me back with that crying, you have been naughty and should have come back when I whistled you”. I sat there and said “Yeah Troy you we well naughty” hehehe..

When we got home Dad told Mum about the strange dog and how naughty Troy was, but instead of Mum agreeing with Dad she went up to Troy and gave him a big cuddle and kiss for protecting me and Dad! I ran over to Mum and said “Wow wow wow let me get one thing straight Mum Troy DID NOT protect me, I’m a big brave girl and I don’t need protecting” Honestly the shame of it…

Mum told Little John, Alicia and Coriene about how brave Troy had been, and the next thing they walk in with a big new toy for him! Obviously I stole it hahahahaha… and Troy cried… somethings never change.

See you soon

Love Olga and the boat anchor. 

Troy can Monster

Hi everyone it’s only me Olga….

I thought I’d let you know how Troy’s training is going, firstly he is not listening to me at all, I told him when we go out in the car he has to sing because Dad loves it when we do. Troy looked at me and said “why”? – I said “errmm because we do, because Dad loves to join in, I’ll show you what I mean when we go out”. 

After our tea Mum and Dad got their boots on which only means one thing ‘walkies’, so I got up and started jumping about and singing, I told Troy to join in, but he didn’t ohhh no that goody four paws sat down waiting for Dad to come back with our leads. Troy stayed where he was whilst Dad put his head collar on, and then he gave him a treat and said he was a good boy!

I was jumping about like I always do and Dad shouted at me! I didn’t get a treat - how rude Dad! When we got in the back of the car, I told Troy we have to start singing, and we must shout at every dog that we pass to tell them where we are going. “Why Olga” – wow Troy you are going to get on my nerves very quick if you keep asking me Why! for everything.

As we set off in the car I spotted a Dog and started shouting, Dad joined in as well shouting “Olga! Olga Olga” I followed that with “Woof Woof Woof” hehe, see I told you Dad likes to sing. Troy doesn’t sing he just sits there and watches everything go by, I had to tell him it’s not much fun singing on your own, so I ended up giving up and sat next to Troy watching the cars go by – boring! Dad gave us both a treat when we stopped.. see Dad does love my singing.

When we got to Louis’s beach I showed Troy what he needs to do with those pesky birds… oh my goodness he is rubbish!!! I told him that we have to clear them off by running and shouting at them and I showed him how to do it, but instead of following me he stood there and said “Why?” - “Why? - because Louis said we have to, and all our friends on here do it, honestly Troy I wonder about you sometimes, it’s clear you have never owned a beach before” – “Olga who’s Louis and what’s a beach?” – see this is what I’m up against.

Dad took MY NEW BALL with us and we played chase, obviously I am loads better at that game than Troy, but Mum said I have to let him win sometimes because he cries if I don’t – the big girl. As we ran down the beach, Troy took off in front of me and wondered where he was going, so I followed him and then all of sudden he stopped and nearly fell over the top of him, “Troyyyyyy what are you doing you stupid thing!” he said “Olga look at that, it’s a big monster!” It was massive, I said “ermmmm stay here and guard it I’ll go and get Dad” I ran back to get Dad, and when we got back Troy had stayed where I told him he said he was guarding the monster- well done Troy I told Dad to give him a treat hahaha …

Troy was very pleased with himself and kept going on and on about being a monster catcher – yeah yeah Troy don’t get too big for your paws you’re still new here, and have a lot to learn.

When we got home, Dad washed all the sand off me and Mum got my towel to dry me off, Troy on the other hand wasn’t for getting a wash, he took off down the garden and wouldn’t go to Dad. It was funny watching Dad trying to tempt Troy with treats, he was having none of it. In the end Dad pretended to turn the water off and I went back outside and Dad made a big fuss of me and gave me lots of treats, Troy felt left out and came up for the treats, and that’s when Dad got him hahahha he ended up having a wash after all.

When we finally got inside, Dad had a big stretch on the floor next to me and Troy jumped on him and licked his face and fur haha Troy wouldn’t let Dad get up until he had given him a wash hahahah..Dad was shouted “Louis, Olga, Troy get off” I was laughing so much I couldn’t do anything to help Dad, both Mum and Dad seem to go through all our names before they get to Troy hahaha when he finally let Dad go he was dripping wet after the Troy wash….

After our big run it was time for bed, Dad always carries me up to bed because my legs are sore after I’ve been running, and he fluffs my duvet up before I get in and snuggle in for the night. I told Troy it was his turn to wake Dad up because I’ve been doing it for ages, so I explained that I will give him a nudge when it’s time and all he has to do is stand next to Dad and stare at him, “Have you got that Troy? Do you know what you have to do?” – “Yep I got that, you wake me up and I wake Dad up – got it”. When Dad came to bed he fluffed Troy’s duvet up and for some reason his bed looked comfier than mine, so I thought I’m not having this! 

So as soon as Dad made the room dark I whispered to Troy “Right time to wake Dad up” "What already Olga?” – “Yes Troy do as you’re told!” So Troy got up and stood next to Dad, and whilst he was stood there staring I got up and swapped beds – ohhh yes this is loads better to stretch out in. Dad told Troy to go to bed, and when he tired to get back in his box he spotted me, “Olgaaaa moveeee that’s my bed” – “Haha Troy snooze you lose, there’s a perfectly good bed there get in and go to sleep”

He has soooo much to learn....

See you soon

Lots of Love

Olga and Troy Boy.

Queen of the hide and seek game!

1...2....5…3….7….12.10… coming ready or nottttttttt……..

Ahaha I bet he’s behind door…. Nope… erm try the kitchen .. nope… upstairs.. nope………I know the wood shed! …nope…”Muuuumm Louis isn’t playing fair he won’t come out even when I’ve told him I give up!”

Hi everyone it’s only me Olga..

That was me a few weeks ago, when Louis told me we were going to play hide and seek, and it was my turn to seek, I searched for days but couldn’t find him. I went to tell Mum and she cuddled me for ages and she must have drooled on me because my neck was wet through when she let me go – ewww Mum! She told me Louis had gone to play on the farm over the rainbow bridge, with all his friends.

I thought how rude! Why didn’t he tell me?

I’m still not happy with Louis for leaving me plus Mum and Dad have both really sad, I tried to make them happy by bringing Dad my ball to play with but he just didn’t seem to be bothered with it, so I tried my favorite pink bone but that didn’t work either, I thought wow this is going to take something really big to help, so I ran upstairs and found the last bit of Frisbee I had hidden from Louis in my bed, but that didn’t work either he looked really sad.

I’m really mad with Louis because I’ve had to work out how I look after Mum and Dad with no instructions - which is not easy let me tell you! I’ve had to get up early and stare at Dad till he wakes up and take him out for a run every day, but only if it’s not raining – if I hear the rain the I just go back to bed after I’ve woken Dad, I’m sure he doesn’t mind. I have to let Mum check my gums all the time, honestly I don’t know how Louis did it, he was right being top dog is not easy! I might need some help with this!

Being on my own wasn’t much fun at all, even my Nana with the see through roof was sad, honestly did they not understand I tried my hardest to find him, it’s not my fault he cheated and sneaked off without telling me!

Mum and Dad said we were going to see Auntie Pam and my FOND friends, which I was excited about, I made sure I packed all my toys and was ready and waiting when Mum came home. When we got to Auntie Pam’s I ran out and gave her a great big kiss and cuddle, she said I looked lovely – of course I dooooo.

We all had a drink and Auntie Pam asked if we were ready to go and meet a new boy that had just got into FONDS care – hang on!! A new boy? What new boy? Mum called me over and told me we were going to meet someone called Troy who needed a new home…. Wow wow wow hang on a second… when I said I might need some help I didn’t actually mean it!!!

Mum said it was up to me to see what he’s like, and if I didn’t like him then its fine she is sure he will find a lovely home soon. I agreed to go and visit this Troy boy, what sort of name is Troy anyway!!

We arrived at Dod and Karolyn’s and went around the back of the house to see Troy, he was stood up at the gate waiting for us, he looked like Louis but with a massive long tail! I bet he gets exhausted chasing that thing! – hours of fun.

Mum and Dad made a fuss of him, and I found some of his toys, to steal..erm no I mean to play with, one is a big orange ball, which of course I decided would be better as one of my toys, so took it off him. He came hopping over to me saying “ Alrite Kidda Whatcha gawpen at”! I looked at him as I had no idea what he said so I said very slowly “HELLO… MY.. NAME… IS… OLGA”

Mum, Dad, Dod and Auntie Pam said we were going for a walk in the big field and to have a wander around the woods, Troy said it was great fun in the woods and he would show me around. We walked for ages up this big hill and then we went into this field with big balls of straw in it, Troy wasn’t allowed off his lead but Dad said I could go and have a run about. This place was great, I ran up to Troy and said “Come on”, Dod let Troy off and we had a run about, he wanted to play chase, and tagged me and then ran off, I ran after him and almost caught but he turned dead quick and I fell over and he laughed! 

I thought right matey you need to be told whose boss, so I said “I know lets play hide and seek” Troy didn’t know how to play so I explained it to him, I said “you have to count to 10 and I’ll go and hide then you have to find me” He said “Ok that sounds easy, but ermmm what’s counting?” Wow this lad is proper stupid!, I said “you have to say 1...2....5…3….7….12.10… coming ready or nottttttttt……..and then you come and find me” He said he could do that, so off I went.

I hid behind a big ball of straw and when he ran past jumped out and tripped him and them pounced on him and nipped his ear, I told him I was Top Dog, he looked at me and then gave me a kiss! Ewwwww what a horrible dog!

When we got back Auntie Pam asked if Troy wanted to come for a sleep over, he was dead excited and started bouncing all over the place shouting Yes Yes Yes, I’ll bring my toys! I said only if you bring your orange ball.

So after spending a few days with us, Mum asked if I would be happy for him to come home with us, because he needed a lovely home, and she said he would be a good friend for me, I looked at him as he was asleep on him back! And thought it might be ok, but if he does my head in Mum then when we play hide and seek next I’m not going to find him!

So we have a new member of the family, I might let him help me look after Mum and Dad but only after he has done his training!

Lots of Love

Olga and Troy…
