All about ME!!!!!!!

I am Roger K Dog and this is my blog. My Mommy met William the Lurcher yesterday and was inspired by his blog so we are going to have a go. Sadly, as I don't have opposable thumbs and Mommy says my claws would scratch the iPad, I am having to rely on her and hope she puts nice things and doesn't embarris me (too much)! I also hope she gets the spelling and grammar right or I could look very daft!

I was born on the 17th October 2010 in a place near Bicester (uk). My dog Mommy was a really pretty white and brindle lurcher and my dog Daddy was an apricot poodle. Their people used them for their game business (which must have been very exciting) and bred my older brothers and sisters because they wanted a dog that had speed, the ability to retreve and greater endurance and resiliance. My dog Mommy and Daddy enjoyed themselves so much that they got loose one day and it happened again - the result was me!!!

The people were a bit unhappy and worried because being an October puppy, it ment that I would be looking for my forever Mommy and Daddy at Christmas and the people said that Christmas is a BAD time to be a puppy.  They decided to keep me and my brothers and sisters in the little barn with the cosy straw and heat lamps untill we were 10 weeks and the Christmas holiday was over. Then the big snow came and nobody could get to the barn to look at us for 3 whole weeks!!!! The people were getting worried as it is harder to get homes for older puppies so when the snow went they advertised us again.

One Friday, when it was dark, I had visitors. It was my new Mommy and Daddy and their little girl Daisy! When Mommy picked me up, I wrapped my legs around her so tight (I have long legs because I am a lurcher so I can do that) to show her that they were going to be my forever family and I didn't want to let go. They couldn't take me home that day because the people said it wouldn't be fair to go to a new home when it was night time and I might be scared so I had the chance to stay with my brother in the nice warm barn until Sunday morning. Also the people's little girl used to like taking me for a stroll in the dolls pram so I had one last go of that.   

Me, age 13 weeks on the day I arrived in my new home. 

I supose I had better explain why my name is Roger K Dog. It is because when my Mommy rang my people, the lady described me as 'not curly but more than wavy - KINKY!' So, my full name is Roger the Kinky Dog. It is a rather smart name for a boy like me but it also makes people giggle, Mommy says this is because it could mean something rather inappropriate!

At this point I will also tell you about my favorite things. Most of all I love my family and my little friend Imp, she is a cat and we play chase lots every day. When she catches me she bites my ears and bats my nose, I don't mind because she is my friend. My other favorite things are cuddles, sleep, my toys (especialy frisby and cong), the cardboard bits from toilet rolls, lying in the sun and my friend Paul. I also love Hazel who looks after me and Imp when my family go away - she is calm and makes us feel safe and not alone.  

Running! I like that too!!!


Anyway, that is enough about me today, perhaps I can get Mommy to help me tell you more another time!
