Hang dog - our dog hoists have arrived

Muttley is about to give you a small demo of how they work and remind us as to the origination of the expression ' hang dog' (sorry, I took the pics into sun)

They lay the sling flat on the ground and I line up my feet in the holes - the holes for my back feet are quite long because they say they might want to put an Airedale or something bigger in...huh!
 Then they pull it up and put the two front handles together
 then they put a carabina through the handles
 and then ..... oh bloody hell;  I'm not very impressed with this. I can't move
 he says the extra long bit and the extra handle is for a bigger dog .... well go and find a bigger dog then and let me go
Oh no, don't let Baxter see me looking like a prat - how am I ever gonna be top dog after this?
Do you fink the roast chicken boat lady, or the Sunday lunch boat lady or ... well anyone really.... wants a foster dog. I hate my life.

Thank you so much Wendie and Sue they are perfik. We can't think of any modifications required - I will try and flag down a large 'volunteer' tomorrow to check out the large dog fit.

  1. Oh I just love the look horror on Baxter's face in the last photo...
    What he is thinking just is not for publication, too many *****'s required... LOL

    1. I know; it's priceless - neither of us had the heart to put it on Baxter seeing that look

    1. IBless him - he's so long suffering. I guess when we use them for real we'll be too busy lowering him up and down on a rope to see how miserable/resigned/peed off he looks.

  3. Well they look pretty good!

    Graham looks happy, not sure about Mutley though!

    Well done Wends!

    1. One most definitely does - any suggestions for getting Daisy up a high wall as there is a limit to how high she can jump too!?

    2. I now this will sound silly (well it is me talking) have you thought about using a rucksack to carry Daisy up and down?

    3. It could actually work Kevin, but I'm not sure I'd want to be the one to try and stuff her in it! We do have her collapsible cat cage (isn't everyone's cat collapsible?) that we could raise and lower on a rope

    1. It's a bit hush hush at the moment - in final negotiations for exchanging iconic Scottie for Tibetan Terrier.
      PS What were you doing up at that time of night?

      Don't worry; I'm told if you can spell alzimerrs you haven't got it!

  6. Well that's decided it - Ty and Ollie definitely want us to get a bigger boat if they're ever to cruise Europe. Actually, Ty says he'd rather just spend the money on a long-term dog-sitter so that he can stay at home - Baxter can join him :-D

    1. Not so much bigger, more sort of taller. We shouldn't need it very often and Baxter says not to worry as it will fit Ty too ... well ..maybe

    (Sorry to Baxter and Muttley.....blame your Mum and Dad not me.....I just did as I was asked!!)
