This Granny Puppy is the extremely wonderful Meg. Meggie to her friends.
Don't let her
age of 14 years fool you. Meg is a VERY active lady for her years,
and likes nothing better than a game of football! She is fantastic
with other dogs and just a total pleasure to live with. She is a darling!
Meg at first struggled with being an indoor dog after spending all
her life as an outdoor dog, but thanks to her foster home she has
overcome that now. Meg loves to be out doing stuff, and she wants
an active retirement home, who will laugh at her naughty antics!
The Naughty Adventures of Meg!!!
Stories from her foster Mum Eleanor
(may I suggest a cup of tea and a slice
of cake while you are reading, but mind you don't choke on the cake,
and you may need a tena lady...........)
Feb
19th: I went up to Wiccs today simply to hand over the homecheck
forms and came back with "golden oldie MEG"!!!!,
Anyway so far so good. For those of you who know me my biggest concern
has been how my own boy "Mr Grumpy" Bazra would be with
her as he seems to have turned into a real mummy's boy since the Grannie
Pups Molly and Lady left , who doing brilliantly in their new home.
Anyway I think he prefers the more mature lady and apart from a couple
of growls he has been fine with her and they had a good game of footie
together in the garden! Meg was really funny when I took her into
the house, she immediately emptied Bazra's toybox and then sussed
out where the garden was by sticking her head out of the catflap.
My husband cannot believe that she is 14 and whilst out this afternoon
people I met couldn't believe her age. We went for a really long walk
this afternoon then had a game of footie and still she wanted more......
me thinks another ASBO Grannie here..................
Feb
21st: Meg seems to be settling in nicely. She is relaxed
around the house and doesn't seem phased about anything. However she
committed a cardinal sin today by chasing the cats!! ............
and boy can she move.
I was helpless with laughter as she was running after them making
high pitched noises and tail wagging like mad. Mind you, Iora soon
turned and swipped her across the head. Anyway
we have been to Norfolk for the day, lovely weather and some great
walks. We started off around Sandringham/Dersingham area before having
a long walk, paddle and play on the beach at Titchwell. Our final
destination was Roydon Common where we had an amazing experience.
All the dogs were tired and were laying down whilst Neil and I were
birdwatching. Pluto and Bazra decided to play with each other and
were having a mad 5 mins. Meg decided that she would join in with
them and Mr Grumpy Bazra started to play with her !!! Shocked it didn't
last long as he suddenly remembered that "he doesn't do that
sort of thing" and stopped but the look on his face was priceless.
Feb
22nd: Well where do I start !
DO NOT BE FOOLED BY HER AGE AND BUTTER WOULDN'T MELT IN HER MOUTH
LOOK, SHE REALLY IS AN ASBO GRANNIE AND CERTAINLY NO ANGEL!!
So far today she has eaten as much bird food as she could possibly
hoover up, nearly pulled me down a badger sett and chased my cats
big time. Then I took her over my parents where she had the sunday
roast off the side when our backs were turned! She then managed to
jump up at the table and sink her teeth into a scrummy apple pie and
then chase mum's cat all over the garden! Now she lays at my feet
crashed out......I wonder why!
Oldies, don't you just love them. LOL!
Time for a cuppa to recover
Love Eleanor xx
Feb 24th: Well this little minx Meg is still up to her antics
!! Earlier this afternoon I could hear quite a commotion coming from
upsatairs.......what did I find ?? Meg had pushed open the sliding
door on the built in wardrobe and was now faced with two hissing and
very unhappy cats, she thought it was a great game and was none to
pleased when I pulled her out. We had been over my parents again today
where she had disgraced herself again by pinching the sarnies mum
had made for lunch!! I think I've got to get the parents better trained,
might be easier than training Meg. However I did have a scare whilst
there as I couldn't find her, my heart was in my mouth and all I could
think was " how on earth do I explain this to Sarah & Paul
?? Panic over when I walked in the house and found her asleep on the
floor cuddled up to Pluto next to the fire!!!! This is Meg who liked
to be cool!!
Everybody loves her and already she has quite a little fan club. As
far as we are concerned she is a very easy dog to have around and
has a superb temperament. Someone is going to have a little gem here.,
just hope they have got a sense of humour!!
Love from a frazzled Eleanor xx
ps will someone please tell her that she is 14 yrs old and not 14
months !!
Feb 26th: Well after today's antics this is certainly
no gentle older lady..........she definitely needs an ASBO order!!
This morning Meg was poddling about in the garden whilst I was in
the kitchen. All of a sudden she began getting very excited with her
high pitched barking, I assumed she had found one of the cats, but
when I looked she was getting highly excited about the sheep in the
field who were munching away the other side of the fence. They were
not taking any notice of her, but she thought it was a great game.
I have just about recovered from this afternoon. I had some errands
in Northampton plus a homecheck, so took all the dogs along and then
we went to the Nene Barrage for a walk. Its quite a good area, plenty
of birds for me to look at, and water and space for the dogs. Anyway
I was standing there watching the birds when all of a sudden I was
being pulled towards them!! Meg, who was tied to my waist, decides
to give chase!! Unfortunately for me it was muddy and slippery so
over I went!! This didn't deter Meg who carried on, with me following
behind, and jumped into the water after the birds and suddenly realised
she was in rather deep !! I had to reel her out like a fish. I had
just about recovered from this when the little minx began rolling
in goose pooh!!! Bazra up until that point had been playing and swimming
and behaving but then decides not to be left out, so rolls in a long
dead fish!!! I must have looked quite a sight walking back to the
car covered in mud, with one green dog [Meg], one fishy dog [Bazra]who
was all hyped up after being in the water and was now clinging to
my legs humping as I was walking along!! My old boy Pluto lagged behind
trying to disown us. Its a wonder I didn't get locked up!! A draughty
drive home with all the windows open
Well the bath has been busy tonight, me, Meg and Bazra in quick succession.
I did think that we might as well jump in together laugh. All the
dogs are now crashed out and drying off.
Meg is great fun to have around, we just don't know what she is going
to get up to next, certainly keeps us on our toes and we will miss
her when she goes .
Love Exhausted Eleanor xx
March 2nd: Well this Grannie Pup has had a few quiet
days because she has been feeling a bit off colour with a nasty upset
tummy - goose pooh related says the vet! We were quite worried about
her but thankfully she seems back to normal ............help!!! ASBO
Grannie on the loose again!!!! However we have discovered that she
likes to watch the television, she sat transfixed watching "Dancing
on Ice", not sure who got her vote!
Now this girlie who "doesn't like being in the house" .
Well she does now. She is quite happy in the house and in the evenings
likes to snuggle up with Pluto, they look a right pair. Tonight we
had to turn the TV up because Meg and Pluto were snuggled up together
snoring away in unison laugh. What are they like !!
Wonder what she is going to get up to now that she is feeling better...........?
Love Eleanor xxxx
March 8th: Well Meg has had a good weekend. She is
an absolute angel except when food and cats are around !! We went
out birding with a friend yesterday, he fell under her spell and before
he knew what had happened she had scoffed his sarnies!! We did warn
him. Then she made a run for the birds, but all she suceeded in doing
was getting her lead tangled around his tripod and taking that with
her!! More fun and games today when she helped herself to the strawberry
gateau off the table, I did warn Mum not to put it so close to the
edge , but as they say "parents know best "Anyway have taken
a few pictures of Meg in the house, just to show how much "she
hates being indoors now" Including a cat flap pic!!
Love Eleanor xxxx
March 9th: ASBO Meg strikes again!!!
My sides still hurt from laughing!
Tonight it was my turn to host the Birdclub committee meeting. Initially
all started well with both Meg and Bazra rushing to the door and greeting
my visitors and then they started playing in the lounge much to the
amusement of everyone. Anyway Meg loved all the fuss and obviously
found the meeting boring and went to sleep. After the business it
was the highlight of the evening as I had made and decorated a sponge
cake, which I put down on the coffee table. Yes, I should have known
better!! One minute she was fast asleep and the next she had launched
herself at the cake.......... it was all so weird and seemed to happen
in slow motion and I just couldn't do anything to stop the inevitable
happening!! ASBO Meg now covered in jam and cream and some very unhappy
and hungry birders. Teehee! Of course they forgave her "because
of her age" and just when we thought it was all over Venus the
cat put in an appearance and wanted to sit on everybody's lap which
was fine until she meowed and Meg heard her and gave chase by running
over everyone and up the stairs yipping excitedly. Meg must have thought
that all her birthdays and Christmases had come together what with
cake and cats.
By this stage the meeting was well and truely abandonded as we were
just all helpless with laughter!! They want to come back next month
as they haven't had such a good meeting for ages ! Will my nerves
stand it ?
Love Eleanor
xxxxxxxx
